Fortuna Elders Quorum Weekly Update

This week Brother Lars Kjerengtroen taught lesson 12 from the Teachings of Joseph Fielding Smith. It was on the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood. We had a great discussion about what the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood means to all of us. Essentially, if we magnify our Priesthood callings, including Home Teaching, we are promised all that the Father hath. It was a good reminder.
