Differences Between  
 
Miss.Paton
She  did not have the gospel to reassure her that she would see her son again .
 
Kaleb
Had the gospel to help him know that he would she his mother and siblings again and that they were still a family.
 
Having knowledge of the plan of
 salvation helps you to know that when
someone dies you will be able to see them again.
 
We all have an older brother, Jesus Christ, and he
 did in fact die for us and if we try hard then
someday we can be reunited with Him.
 
Jesus Christ loves us and wants us to return to him and our Heavenly Father in Heaven.

Combined youth

 
THE STICK EXAMPLE:
No matter how you pick up the stick the other end comes with it.

One end of the stick represents the choices you make and the other represents the consequences that comes with it.



SUPORT GROUP: They try to help you make the right choices so that you can have good consequences. Have a good support group.
THE WORLD: will  try to make you follow in its ways even when they have un-holy consequences.
 
" Stand in Holy places and be Holy
in places that you stand."  D&C 87:8
 
 Consequence-The worldly way<= Situation =>Take a stand-Consequence
 Every choice you make comes with a consequence and you can pick your choice but you must know that a certain  consequence comes with that choice and you cannot change that.

The world will try in every way to convince you that its' way is ok.

The For Strength of Youth is a great thing to have as part of your support group.

Don't justify things based on your situation, and don't make them seem like a small matter.

For The Strength of Youth-
"Dating- Plan activities that help you remain close to the strength and spirit of the Lord."

Find your Holy places:
-Temple
-Chapel
-Home
Be the first example        
 and  make a Holy         
 place take a stand.         
       
Make everywhere you go holy place.

Moral agency
The ability to choose and act for yourself
We are free to choose our actions but we  cannot choose your consequences 

 Agency is the ability to choose between good and evil, but to choose the good is what gives us freedom. The scriptures and our leaders are the ones that teach us to know the difference between good and evil. Which is which?


Helpful Scriptures: 
 -D&C 82:10
-Joshua 24:15

I know that agency is the ability to choose and that I have it. Also the choices i make have consequences and I can not choose those and if it is a consequence that is not pleasing  then I have chosen a bad path. However it was still the choice i made using my agency.

There was a talk given by Sister Elaine S. Dalton some of my favorite parts were:
" i wrote my list of things i would always do and things i would never do "
" when my high school friends said just one drink wont hurt i laughed and said i 
decided when i was 12 not to do that " 
" live your list ''
" you are guardians of something more precious than rubies "

2. Make a list of "nevers"
3. Start to live your list :)

PLAN OF SALVATION

-Where did i come from?
-Why are i here?
-Where am i going after this life?

 

True to the faith  - Plan of salvation    
pre-existence, mortal life, life after death 
aka plan of happiness
When you have no direction your life is like unto that of a toy boat, when the river goes slow you'll go slow, when the river goes fast you'll go fast, and when the water get dangerous and you have no rudder or sail to guide you will sink.
Let the Gospel be you rudder, and the scriptures be your sails.

This plan was made so that we could return to him.
