Fireside Planning

Army of Helaman

Fireside for Stake or Ward

The success of the the Army of Helaman March on July 24, 2013 will best be measured in the individual lives of the young men who participate; specifically in the extent to which their lives afterward reflect the attributes of the Helaman's stripling warriors.  Those attributes include:

• Had faithful parents who taught them well (Alma 23:5-18, Alma 27:25-30)
• Chose to be led by prophet (Alma 53:19)
• Helped parents keep covenants (Alma 53:13-16)
• Covenanted to fight for liberty (Alma 53:17)
• Willing to give their lives in service (Alma 53:17)
• Exceedingly valiant for courage (Alma 53:20)
• Exceedingly valiant for strength and activity (Alma 53:20)
• True at all times in whatsoever things they were entrusted (Alma 53:20)
• Supported by parents
• Striplings - young (Alma 53:20, Alma 56:46)
• Through their example, provided encouragment and inspiration to adults (Alma 57:25)
• Physically strong (Alma 56:39-43, 56)
• Great courage (Alma 56:45)
• Did not fear death, but thought more on the liberty of their fathers (Alma 56:47)
• Taught by their mothers (Alma 56:47-48, Alma 57:21)
• Turned the tide of the battle against evil (Alma 56:54)
• Obedient (Alma 57:21)
• Performed every word and command with exactness (Alma 57:21)
• Their minds were firm and they trusted in God continually (Alma 57:27)
• Wounded in battle, but none fell (Alma 56:55-56, Alma 57:25-26)
• THEY DID NOT DOUBT (Alma 56:48)

Every stake and ward has varying concerns and needs with respect to their young men.  In coming days, we will provide links to General Confernence talks and Ensign or New Era articles that will help stakes and wards teach these important principals to their young men and leaders who will be participating.
