The Church of Jesus Christ is putting out a lot of videos on Youtube lately. They are really good quality, impressive videos. I’m going to add a couple of links to a couple of the videos on this website but if you would like to see more, please visit the “Mormon Messages Youth” Youtube channel for more.

Below is a video for Young Men in the Mormon Church. The video talks about the important need for Young Men to be a Priesthood man and fulfilling your Duty to God. The Video is called “Becoming a priesthood man: Priesthood duty”.

While wandering around the internet and through several pages of mormon magazines and mormon websites, I came across a link that told me that the LDS Church Website now offers a tracking system for Young Men to track their Duty to God.

As many of you know, the Mormon Church has recently re-tooled the DTG (Duty to God) program.  We used to use spreadsheets to keep track of the Aaronic Priesthood’s progress but with the new system, we really didn’t have an electronic way to keep track of their progress.

So, I’m happy to say, there is a new way to track DTG progress online.  Simply go to http://lds.org/young-men/duty-to-god?lang=eng and click on “Click here to get started” in the middle of the screen.  Now, you should know that you will need a login to the LDS.org website.  Well, actually, each young man that wants to manage their DTG progress online will have to have their own login.  To create a login you will need your membership number and date of birth.  Once this account is created, you can start using the “Interactive Version of Duty to God“.

Every time one of the missionaries from our LDS Ward leaves for a mission I try and send them a couple of notes using DearElder.com. I then try to send them a package while at the training center. The package I usually send is a small box of microwave popcorn. Below is the story.

“While I was spending my 2 months in the MTC (Missionary Training Center) to try and learn Spanish, I was walking with my companion one day up the steps to my room. I am sure we had already been in the MTC for over a month so we felt like we knew everything there was to know about all of the buildings. Anyway, our district was on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the building we were in. As we were walking up, I smelled something delicious. We followed the buttery smell downstairs and walked around. We discovered that in the basement of our building there was a small kitchen area. This kitchen was supplied with a microwave and someone had just popped a bag of popcorn. It smelled soooooo good. Anyway, it was a memory of mine from the MTC I wanted to share with others.

The MTC is very intense and really goes by fast. Even though I was excited to go to my field of service, the MTC was a wonderful place to start my mission. I think it was in the MTC that I learned of the seriousness of the call to serve as a Mormon Missionary. Even though some of the Elders goofed around, they were all serious about there dedication to their missions and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I had some great role models to look up to while I was there.

The last story I’ll tell you was about a song we sang while there. It seemed like several times a week our entire floor would meet in one room and have a devotional. It was great to sit with all of the other Elders and learn about the Scriptures and the Gospel. My favorite part was when we sang songs together. All of the Elders on our floor were going Spanish speaking so we would sing songs in Spanish. Our favorite song was “Secret Prayer”. We really got the room rocking with that song even though it was supposed to be a quiet song we sang it loud and strong. The harmony in that song was awesome as the music reverberated off of the wall in that dorm room. I loved those moments.
