Church Today: 22 July 2012

Brother Craig Yugawa, recently returned from a mission to South Africa, spoke today.

Key points of his talk:

--Every member (of the church) should be (an active) member
--Develop holy habits
--Obedience will lead to the reception of everything we need.
--Understand the significance of the Atonement.

Also speaking was Sister Billie Yugawa (Craig's mom), who told us a story about training for the marathon and how she discovered that she had to strengthen her core.  Likening this experience to spirituality, she encouraged us to help strengthen the spiritual core of our youth as well as our own spiritual cores "so that there is no wiggle room" for spiritual drift.
