“I am convinced that distractions and discouragement are some of Satan’s most effective tools. He finds ways to help us make excuses about why we can’t do this or that. He gets us involved in wasting our time and resources in things that lead us away from improving our lives and developing our talents. He blurs our focus by diverting our attention. This can happen to the very best of you.” Donald L. Staheli, Ensign, Feb 2009.
We must stay attentive to the purpose of our life on earth. It is so easy to get distracted yet it is critical to our salvation that we remain focused. Here are three specific ideas to help us remain focused.
• Set aside a quiet moment in your day, every day, for personal study and revelation.
• Pray for the Spirit to get you back on track when you start to drift or get discouraged.
• Listen when the Prophet speaks: attend the Relief Society Broadcast on September 26th.
Our allotment of time here on earth is short, let us strive to make the most of it!

Presidency Message
“But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.” Moroni 7:47
As we continue to learn of Christ through the scriptures and life experiences our souls are strengthened. Our hearts tend to be opened and our desire to become more like Christ becomes stronger.
We feel the love that Christ has for us, which in return gives us a desire to love others.
One of the ways we can show love is by serving willingly. In order to do this we should pray earnestly and opportunities will be opened to us through the Spirit.
Our service should be selfless, quiet, full of love and our hearts should continually ponder on that without charity we ourselves have nothing.
