Succeed In School Training

We haven't been very good about writing in our blog. I finally figured out how to get back in after so many months of being AWOL, so I will try to be more regular about posting.  Our weeks are always full to the brim and we are having wonderful blessings and opportunities. 

This last week we had visitors from Church Headquarters.  Two Seminary and Institute employees and a member of the Priesthood and Family Committee came to Albuquerque to train on a tool that has been approved for use on the Native American lands. It's called "Succeed in School". We have been working with a set of sister missionaries assigned to two of the Native American units in our mission as they learn how to use this tool to bless the people in these areas, Our Mission President and the Stake President over these areas joined in the training. It's actually a resource that can be accessed by anyone on the Gospel Library app under Life Help > Education.  But because it is being used on Native American lands, we can get this kind of support from Church Headquarters for implementing it here. It is exciting to be a part of this pioneering effort. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has so many wonderful resources to bless the lives of God's children. The Lord and His Church are concerned about all aspects of our lives and thus have created resources to assist us in overcoming life's challenges. Being able to care for and overcome our own challenges allows us to reach out in love to serve others.  We can then better keep the second great commandment to love our neighbor as ourself.
