Mormon youth will ask two apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints questions during a live Face to Face event in Palmyra, New York, where Church founder Joseph Smith experienced what is commonly referred to as the First Vision. President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will participate in the worldwide broadcast Saturday, March 4, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. MST.
“We hope you’ll prepare for the event by reading the account of the Prophet Joseph’s First Vision and also of trying yourself to ask God in faith for answers,” said President Eyring in a video invitation. “I promise you a wonderful experience.”
Elder Holland said, “Can you imagine a better place to be with President Eyring than Palmyra, New York, to talk about asking questions of God and receiving answers? That will be true not only for the Prophet Joseph in the First Vision, but it will be true to you in your own way as you ask questions in your life.”
Youth can ask questions before the event on LDS.org, on the LDS Youth Facebook page or on other social media channels using the hashtag #LDSface2face.
The broadcast will be available on the LDS Youth YouTube channel and Facebook page. Tune in early for the broadcast premier of “Ask of God — Joseph Smith’s First Vision,” a new video portraying the First Vision, beginning at 10:45 a.m. MST.
Mormons believe Joseph Smith saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in 1820 in the Sacred Grove at the age of 14 after praying to know which church to join after reading a passage of scripture in the Bible (James 1:5–6). Prayer is also part of the Church’s youth theme this year.
Previous Face to Face events have featured Latter-day Saint performers such as the cast of “Studio C” and the Piano Guys, as well as Church leaders Elder David A. Bednar and Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women general president. In December, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Kathy, participated in a Face to Face broadcast from Guatemala in Spanish and Portuguese.

The event will be streamed live on Saturday, March 4, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. MST on LDS.org, face2face.lds.org, the LDS Youth YouTube channel, and the LDS Youth Facebook page. This event can be used in whole or in part for a Mutual activity, or youth can also watch with their friends or family at home.
Tune in early for the broadcast premier of “Ask of God—Joseph Smith’s First Vision,” a stunning new video portraying the First Vision, starting at 10:45 a.m. MST.
It’s not every day you get to hear your questions answered by two Apostles of the Lord. This is an amazing opportunity to learn and receive answers—possibly to questions you didn’t even think to ask. What can you do to prepare?
Here are five suggestions:
  1. Read Joseph Smith’s account of what happened in Palmyra in the spring of 1820. (Did you know that this event will be broadcast from Palmyra?)
  2. Think about the questions you have that you would like to ask the Lord. Write them down. You can submit them on the event page or keep them in a journal. See if you receive any inspiration during the event that may be helpful.
  3. Invite a friend to watch it with you.
  4. Tune in 10 minutes before the event to watch the world premiere of “Ask of God,” a brand-new video about the First Vision.
  5. After the event is over, write down your thoughts and feelings. What did you learn?

121. Have you had your own Personal Gethsemane? I have had -- twice!

Image
I ran across this article this morning from a blog called:  LDS S.M.I.L E.  You  can also follow it at:    http://www.ldssmile.com   (Copy and paste)             It stands for LDS Spiritually Minded is Life Eternal. I have copied it as it was in their blog.  In my title, I mentioned I have had a Personal Gethsemane, not once, but two times, both quite different.  They are extremely personal, and I will not go into them here.  Only some family members know, and not even some of whom are my dearest friends.  Some deep problems are very personal, and some are known by many people, and perhaps are mentioned in the media!  They are as diverse as our lives are! But I do know the only thing that allowed me to keep my faith, courage, and personal self control to go on with normal life was our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the comfort I felt from prayer, and yes -- Personal Priesthood blessings. ...

993. Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks · January 16, 2018, in Meridian Magazine

These are great thoughts, and very wise! Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks  · January 16, 2018 We’ve heard phrases like “parenting is a calling from which you are never released [i] , [ii] ” over the pulpit many times, but rarely do we actually reflect on what this means. When taken literally, that it’s a parent’s job to continue to be their child’s caretaker throughout their lives, this belief can create enmeshed families with weak boundaries that undermine the adult child’s agency. Here are some ideas to consider about the danger of parents who are overly involved with their adult children and adult children who don’t fully transition into an adult role. Intrusive Parents   Too often, this belief of eternal parenthood is used to justify a parent giving constant (often unsolicited) input or criticism into an adult child’s life decisions. Does never being released from parenthood mea...
