    Discipleship> Membership

    Be Faithful when no one is watching

    Daily Worshipful Prayer

    Lifelong Consistency

    Temple Attending People > Church Attending People

    Joy was the dying words of Lehi to Jacob

    Child of God Context must be learned!

    Don’t be discouraged

    We counteract the world by following the character of Christ (turning outwards)

    Invitation – How can I be more Effective Listening to you? (Brothers -> Sisters)

    Joy is found when focused on Christ, not just on circumstances

    Book of Mormon is the Ultimate Tool

    Sacrament Attendance Must be Priority (for new members too)

    Organized Love > Generalized Concern

    Preach the Gospel

    Invite Young Men to serve Missions

    Start Missionary Preparation from Primary!

    Leadership sets the Climate

    See a Sermon > Hear a Sermon

    Rejoice in the Atonement

    Be Uplifting, Build Faith, Show Light

    Joyful Reverence in Sacrament (Similar to Temple Reverance)

    Stay focused on Christ and his Atoning Gift

    Infinite Atonement Covers All

    Live the Truth
