This Week's Lesson

This week Carol Peek Griffin gave lesson from the April 2012 conference "Converted to His Gospel through His Church" by Elder Donald L. Hallstrom.  It is important to realize that the Church is a physical observable thing, it is the people in our ward and the meetings we attend.  The gospel is an inner thing, but it is important to our eternal progression.  Attending church meetings is important but we also need to be internally converted to the gospel to have a full conversion. 

"In our lives we should desire what occurred after the Lord came to the people of the New World and established His Church. The scriptures read, “And it came to pass that thus they [meaning His disciples] did go forth among all the people of Nephi, and did preach the gospel of Christ unto all people upon the face of the land; and they were converted unto the Lord, and were united unto the church of Christ, and thus the people of that generation were blessed” (3 Nephi 28:23)." -Elder Hallstrom
