Worldwide Training- The new manual focuses on family and covenants
I just watched the Worldwide Training broadcast by the First Presidency and 12 apostles this week. As I watched, I was filled to overflowing with a reminder of my testimony of the restoration. This is the Lord's church and it is being led by Him. The new handbook #2 is for the whole church and provides direction on running our families and using the church to strengthen our families. I am so impressed by the focus on what is really important: following the spirit and fulfilling our covenants. And for anyone not in a leadership position right now, this is still for you! We are encouraged to read the first three chapters of the manual as families. You can find it on LDS.org under Menu: Service: Serving in the Church. Also, the worldwide training broadcast is available on the main page in both audio and video forms. If you don't have time for much, watch the discussion on how the manual pertains to families with Elders Holland, Bednar, and Christofferson. It was great!

Already, in our bishopric meeting and ward council meeting, the lessons from this training have changed the way we look at things and which issues we address. The focus is no longer on administering in the church, but ministering instead to the needs of the families and individuals in a caring and Christlike way.
