It included what has become The Articles Faith, and this blog is about number 13; We Believe in Being, Honest, True, Chaste, Benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say we follow the admonition of Paul- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have indured many things, a;nd hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. This will be a place to insipre, edify, strenght and enourage us to seek for the Good things, in the scriptures, in our surroundings, and how we apply this in improving our Daily lives. Let us all Seek After These Things!

Over half the Church membership is now outside the U.S. and most speak a language other than English. 2. There are nearly 4,000,000 members in Latin America who speak Spanish and Portugese. 3. In two months the MTC missionaries get the equivaleant of two years of college-but this is only possible because they are blessed with the gift of tongues. 4. The Liahona is published in 56 languages and 500 contract translators and 130 in-house traanslators are used for the publication. 5. There's a greater percentage level of bi-lingual language skills in Salt Lake City than in most major cities in the U.S. 6. The Church is a leader as a multi-cultural, multi-lingual organization. This is all part of the "gift of tongues"! Here are a few facts to consider for this lesson
