We’ve Got Mail

I would like to thank you for the article on patriarchal blessings in the November 2005 New Era. What was amazing was that I received the issue six days before I got my patriarchal blessing. It helped me to understand what it means and how it can help me in my life.

I wanted to thank you for all the help this magazine has given me. It seems that you write this magazine especially for me, as each month the solutions to my problems arrive in the mail. I know the Lord often answers my prayers through the New Era. I was baptized about four years ago and since that time had never read any Church magazines. I thought ordering Church magazines was a waste of time, but a few months ago I decided to just do it. I love them so much that now I’m keeping an archive of New Era magazines and other Church magazines so I can refer to them any time I have a problem. What a shame I didn’t order them earlier!

Thank you for the article “Four Heavenly Helps” (Aug. 2005). I really enjoyed reading this article, and I read and reread it often. It helps me to be prepared to overcome temptations. I am now carrying the small version of the For the Strength of Youth with me.

I read the Idea List on seminary (Sept. 2005). It helped me find the best way to read the scriptures. This is my first year in seminary, and now I take the scriptures more seriously and ponder them a bit more. I didn’t really understand the scriptures before; I would read one chapter and then not go back to it. I think it’s a great Idea List because it tells how to ponder the scriptures and understand them better.

I just thought I would let you know that the recipe in “The Family Secret” (Nov. 2004) is a winner, literally. My daughter Beth entered the rolls in the Georgia National Fair and won first place in her division! Thanks for the great magazine and the teachings you deliver.

When I was called to work with the Beehives, the first thing I did was subscribe to the New Era. That was the best decision I have made. It has wonderful articles written for the youth. Many times I have been able to use articles from the New Era for my lessons. I even chose reading the New Era for three consecutive months for my knowledge project. It was a fun project and one I try to continue every month. Reading the New Era is a good habit to get into.
