Pres. Eyring 2011-04-02 "Opportunities to do Good"

I love listening to Pres. Eyring because of his way of speaking where it sounds like it is all he can do to control his emotions.  Here are a few thoughts that come from his Saturday Morning address.  It is related to the celebrating of the 75th anniversary of the Welfare program of the church:

1. He hopes to renew and strengthen our commitment to act.

4 Principles to Guide Us:
1. People are happier and feel more self respect when they can provide for themselves, learn to be self-reliant and then learn to help and serve others to the point that they too can be self-reliant.
2. the power and blessing of Unity should guide us in welfare work.
3. Draw your family into the work of serving others.
4. Seek out the poor, the Holy Ghost will help.

3 Suggestions for planning our Service project:
1. Prepare yourself spiritually
2. Choose those recipients of the service who will touch the hearts of those giving the service.
3. draw on the power of the bonds of families, quorums, communities, auxiliary organizations.
