For the Strength of Youth

Service to others is one of the most important characteristics of a disciple of Jesus Christ. A disciple is willing to bear other people’s burdens and to comfort those who need comfort. Often Heavenly Father will meet the needs of others through you.

Seek daily the guidance of the Holy Ghost to know whom to serve and how to help meet their needs. Often the most important service is expressed through simple, everyday acts. - For the Strength of Youth

One of those acts of kindness is in the form of prayer and fasting. We have received many stories of our faithful youth who have taken it upon themselves to fast individually on Jared's behalf, including some that do not know him directly. One young lady told her family she had fasted the day before, because the Holy Ghost told her she needed to. Our close friends son, Cody, also fasted and I'm sure there are others. We thank you for your faith and testimony.

How grateful we are for the faith of these young teens who know when and how to listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Miracles really happen and prayers are really heard because we have a Father in Heaven who loves us.
