Help from The Friend – October 2009


In addition to Sharing Time, The Friend can be used in many ways to enrich Primary. The following are a few ideas from this month's Friend.


Presidency and Teachers

"A Prophet's Love", p 2-3 President Monson's example of putting aside personal comfort in order to minister to the needs of one member is a touching story. We could all benefit from following his steps in being truly Chirstlike.
