Young Sisters -Women!
Here are the scriptures that we did not have time to get too:
Read some scriptures in which the Savior experienced adversity (such as Matthew 4:1–11; 26:38–39; Luke 23:33–34). What can the young women learn about adversity from the Savior’s life? How did He face His trials?
Here is the excerpt from the talk I wanted to share with you:
These fiery trials are designed to make you stronger, but they have the potential to diminish or even destroy your trust in the Son of God and to weaken your resolve to keep your promises to Him. These trials are often camouflaged, making them difficult to identify. They take root in our weaknesses, our vulnerabilities, our sensitivities, or in those things that matter most to us. A real but manageable test for one can be a fiery trial for another.
How do you remain “steadfast and immovable”6 during a trial of faith? You immerse yourself in the very things that helped build your core of faith: you exercise faith in Christ, you pray, you ponder the scriptures, you repent, you keep the commandments, and you serve others.
When faced with a trial of faith—whatever you do, you don’t step away from the Church! Distancing yourself from the kingdom of God during a trial of faith is like leaving the safety of a secure storm cellar just as the tornado comes into view.
The Apostle Paul said, “Ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.”7 It is within the sanctuary of the Church that we protect our faith. Meeting together with others who believe, we pray and find answers to our prayers; we worship through music, share testimony of the Savior, serve one another, and feel the Spirit of the Lord. We partake of the sacrament, receive the blessings of the priesthood, and attend the temple. The Lord declared, “In the ordinances … , the power of godliness is manifest.”8 When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety and security of the household of God. There is always a place for you here. No trial is so large we can’t overcome it together.9
Please know that your Heavenly Father is aware of you and loves you. We as your leaders do too!
Thanks for you participation today and for Suzie's incredible talk on the same thing. Although we don't seek for these trials, we did agree to them and they can the refining fire to our beliefs and testimonies if we allow ourselves to learn from them. Let's try to remain humble so that we are always teachable - even when things are going great!

Why do we have adversity?
As part of Heavenly Father’s plan, we must experience adversity during mortality. In some cases, adversity comes as the result of our own poor choices or the choices of others. Other trials are simply a natural part of our mortal experience. Though they are difficult, our challenges can help us grow spiritually and become more like Jesus Christ.
Please think of some of your trials and how you overcame them. We want to talk about real trials you are having, why we have them (from our own decisions or just part of life) and how can can avoid some and overcome others. We want you to do the talking!
Thanks - Sister Sperry

Lesson Sunday February 10, 2013
Topic: Why should I treat my body like a temple?
This last Sunday we talked about the plan of salvation and where we were before we were born to this earth and received a body. This next Sunday we're going to talk a little bit about the sacredness of our bodies.
In 1 Corinthians 6 it says:
I want you to be thinking about this concept. Think about what it means to you. Keep the topic question in your mind and before coming to class on Sunday please read the talk "The Sanctity of the Body" by Sister Tanner.
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
