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.

Next week's lesson is on the conference talk "Waiting on the Road to Damascus" by Presidency Uchtdorf.
