Theme for June

On to the next topic of provident living....... Physical Health.

We have a group meeting at the Lazona Ward building in Mesa Tuesday June 2nd 7pm where we will be covering epidemic and pandemic influenza information and preparedness. Hope you can join us. e-mail me if you need directions to the building.


Healthy bodies help us meet the demands of life. Parents must keep themselves healthy and use wisdom and good judgment in caring for their children and teaching them good health practices.
Many resources have been provided so we can maintain good health.

The Lord expects us to use these resources to prevent and cure illnesses that afflict us and others. This requires that we use modern medical practices and exercise faith, prayer, and the power of the priesthood.

If we do these things, and it is God’s will, the sick can be healed.

President Brigham Young taught: “Then let us seek to extend the present life to the uttermost, by observing every law of health, and by properly balancing labor, study, rest, and recreation, and thus prepare for a better life. Let us teach these principles to our children” (Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [1954], 186).
