YW Lesson 2 - 30 "Strengthening Testimony Through Service"

You guys aren't going to believe this. I love this lesson. From the beginning section immersed in the scriptures to the wonderful story by one of my favorites - Ardeth G. Kapp, to the great talks included in the resource materials (bonus points for one being by a woman!). Little Miss Nitpicker over here doesn't have anything to complain about.

I have always loved that quote from President Kimball that is included in Elder Snow's talk.

“God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another mortal that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom.”

I think that is just one of the purest distillations of the gospel. It reminded me of President Uchtdorf's talk from last conference, You Are My Hands.

Upon first reading, this suggestion might seem a little out of left field, but I think that Kristine gives us so much dense material in her blog post The Liturgy of the Jello that we can extrapolate her point and deliver it in an an age appropriate way. These small acts of service matter.
