Developing Christlike Love and Charity YSA Fireside Notes

First and foremost, this post is short and sweet. I would like to ask you the following two questions and I would like to answer those questions in your own time. The questions is,
"What is your definition of Love?" and "What is your definition of Charity?"

I would to share with you some of my notes from attending a most recent multi-stake YSA Fireside and the Fireside was based on "Developing Christlike Love and Charity." I enjoyed what I have learned during the Fireside and I hope you will learn something
new while you are reading this post.

First speaker; she mentioned about It takes one invitation to go to a YSA event or institute.

Jeremiah; chapter 31, verse 3.  "Ye Have Done It Unto Me" - LDS video

Sister Maurer spoke about reaching out with love. Moroni, chapter 10 verses 20 to 21, it talks about charity. Sometimes we do get caught up with life. We need to be prepared, work hard, repent, to be cleaned again, make visits to the Temple, partaking the sacrament, etc.

Every interaction that we do, matters how we respond. Doctrine and Covenants; Section 95, verse 6 and verse 12.

"Moroni 7:47 - Charity is the Pure Love of Christ."

Elder Maurer spoke about questions and extended invitations.
