The lesson this week was on the conference talk given by President Uchtdorf - "Waiting on the Road to Damascus". We discussed that we need to do our part in becoming converted and be a disciple of Christ - we should not need a huge event before we believe. There were 4 things that can help us along our road to Damascus; belief comes one step at a time, harken and heed, serve and share. "...let us not wait too long on our road to Damascus. Instead, let us courageously move forward in faith, hope, and charity, and we will be blessed with the light we are all seeking upon the path of true discipleship."

Next week is general conference which will be broadcast at the Woodgate chapel.

The lesson this week was on Chapter 41: The Postmortal Spirit World. A quote from Dale C. Mouritsen was shared, "...the more aware we become that the spirit world is a real extension of our mortal existence, the less likely we are to fasten our hearts on the treasures of this world." Remember to 'fasten your hearts' on the eternal principles of the gospel, the real treasures of this earthly life.
