Leann and Melissa discuss Elder Soares’s talk about the virtue of temperance, review examples from the scriptures and latter day prophets, and talk about how temperance can shape our responses to negativity.

Ponder Questions:

Who shows temperance in your life?

Am I showing temperance for those around me?

Am I returning negativity with love?

Am I teaming up with the Spirit for help to have temperance?

How strong is my spiritual foundation?

Invitation:

Read Elder Soares’ talk and find the messages for you.
