When Jesus spoke with the woman at the well, He said:

“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” — John 4:14

Just as water is essential to physical life, Jesus Christ and His teachings are essential to our spiritual lives and our journey toward eternal life.

The living water Christ offers can bring peace, hope, and strength when we need it most. As we turn to Him and follow His teachings, He can help us through life’s challenges.

🎡 If you’re attending the Eastern Idaho State Fair, we hope you’ll stop by the Living Water booth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

💧 Come see the Living Water display, take a patriotic photo, write a thank-you card to a veteran, and grab a free bottle of water. 🇺🇸

We’d love to see you there! ❤️

📍The building is near the east entrance, across from the grandstands.

Elder Gérald Caussé reminds us in his message ‘Love All, Love Each’ that Christlike love grows and multiplies as we share it. His words encourage us to think about the people around us and the ways we can help them feel the Savior’s love. As we head into this week, we might think about:

Who is someone in my life who might need to feel the love of Christ, and what can I do to help them feel it?
