Better Together
Ever since I learned to read, I have enjoyed immersing myself in the worlds that authors create. When I was young, I was drawn to the genre of literature that featured a young person trying to survive alone in the wilderness using their skills, wits, and tools against the harsh forces of nature and wild animals. Being the oldest of seven children, I often felt the need to escape. The fantasy of surviving without anyone’s help was very appealing to me.

Practical Courses with Spiritual Benefits
The Lord has said, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints . . . but it must needs be done in mine own way” (Doctrine and Covenants 104:15, 16). This is a promise that Heavenly Father will help care for His children as they follow Him. Self-reliance does not mean that we can accomplish or obtain anything we want. If we are self-reliant, we believe that through the power of Christ and our own effort, we can work for life’s spiritual and practical needs. Many people can become more self-reliant. With Self Reliance Groups much of the work takes place in small groups that combine spiritual principles with practical skills.
The next Self Reliance Groups will start on Sunday 28 January 2024. Groups will be organized according to the number of people who are interested in each type of group.
