Notes From the Climb: Nov – Dec 2013

Our willingness to receive the servants of God is a reflection of our willingness to receive God.
Anyone who receives the Melchizedek priesthood covenants to receive God through all of his servants, including home teachers. It provides us the opportunity to cultivate humility and love.

“Seen for what it is, [the endowment] is the step-by-step ascent into the Eternal presence” – David O. McKay
