Presidency Message, Jenny Chamberlain

Dear Sisters,
A couple of weeks ago I was visiting with my dad. He asked me a question that
has been on my mind ever since. I would ask you the same question: What are you do-
The site ldsjobs.org will ing to ensure your eternal salvation or are you just hoping it’s going to work out? I
help Church members found the answer as we were taught by the RS General Presidency. Sister Beck talked
find employment. The site about three categories into which we could divide how we spend our time each day. She
includes information and labeled them “Essential”, “Necessary”, and “Nice”. Think how you spend your time each
resources for finding jobs, day. Under which categories is your time spent? She talked about the importance of
gaining more education, doing the “Essential” things (prayer, scripture study, FHE, temple attendance, etc.) be-
or starting a small busi- fore the “Necessary” things (cooking, cleaning, working, laundry, shopping, etc.) and
ness. those things before the “Nice” things (TV, reading, hair, nails, movies, etc.). She said
when we do the essential things there is often time for the nice things, but rarely is it the
other way around. Sisters, those essential things are what will ensure our eternal salva-
tion. Let’s not just hope it’s going to work out, let’s make sure it’s going to by choosing
carefully how we spend our time each day. Paraphrasing the Bishop, Sister Kaye said,
Videos at the Youth “If we are too busy to do those essential things, then we are busier than the Lord in-
Web Site tended us to be”. The Lord needs strong women. He needs you. I challenge each of us
to be that strong woman, to be bold in standing up for righteousness and to help build
His kingdom. We are being called upon to make the changes in our lives that need to be
made. It’s a choice, every day. I want to see each one of you when we get back to our
Heavenly Father. So, together, today, let’s make the choice to do those things ESSEN-
TIAL to our eternal salvation so we can do as Sister Lucy Mack Smith said, “ all sit down
in heaven together”.
