HUMANITARIAN TRAINING

Today we began our HUMANITARIAN TRAINING. We took a bus to Welfare Square in Salt Lake City. We toured the Bishop's Storehouse, the Cannery, and Deseret Industries. We learned that the objective of the Humanitarian program is:

1. To relieve suffering

 2. Promote self reliance

3. Provide opportunities for service.

 

I love doing Humanitarian work for the church because of these important principles. Someone said today, "we are simply doing what the Savior would do".

I love this quote from Joseph Smith,

"We are to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all."

 We heard the story of a young man in Africa who sells bananas to earn enough money to go on a mission. You can watch a short 2 minute video about Sedrick click here.
