Our lesson this week was on "An Ensign to the Nations" by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. We discussed that an ensign is a flag, banner or sign to symbolize a particular thing. General conference is for everyone - members of the church and those not yet baptized. As we prepare for conferences (general, stake, ward or even church each Sunday) we need to remember a few things. We will receive revelation if we are prepared, we need to proclaim the things we know are true, we need to tune in in tune to the messages being taught and we need to act upon the promptings we receive. Elder Holland quoted President Harold B. Lee when he was talking about all the different messages that may be shared in conference, the gospel is to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the [comfortable]." Tamara encouraged each of us to read the tribute given to the prophet at the end of Elder Holland's talk.

We were also challenged to make an ensign for our family this week. Some ideas given were a picture of the temple or as simple as a bandana on a stick.

Next week's lesson will be taught by a member of the Bishopric.
