Some of my most cherished memories of learning the gospel
are of sitting by the side of my mother,
listening to her telling the stories of Jesus
and bear her testimony of Him.
My wife and I have tried to do the same with our children
and now grandchildren.
I also cherish those precious moments
I have in personal scripture study, when it is just me
and the word of God.
How wonderful it is to receive personal inspiration
to guide us in our daily lives.
The most important gospel learning and teaching
happens in the home or in our personal study,
in conversations with loved ones,
and in simply living the things we know are true.
This is where deep, ongoing conversion happens--not just
in a classroom once a week, but in the everyday living
and learning of the gospel.
Now more than ever, we need a deliberate effort
to feast on the words of Christ throughout the week, personally
and with our families.
To support you in this, the Church has prepared a new
resource titled Come, Follow Me--For Individuals
and Families.
We know that every individual and family situation is
different; we want you to use this Come,
Follow Me resource in whatever way is best for you
and your family--at home, in your personal study,
and in family discussions.
The purpose of Come, Follow Me--For Individuals
and Families is to deepen our conversion to Jesus Christ.
The individual's heart, the home, and the family
are at the center of that conversion.
I can promise that you and your family
will experience greater light and unity as you
study the gospel together in your home and at church.
