It's a New Year!

Ensign, January 2009
This month’s issue includes powerful testimonies of the mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith, whose teachings continue to be the course of study in Priesthood and Relief Society. Be sure to read “Witnesses of the Prophet Joseph Smith” and “Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ.”

Looking to enhance your knowledge of the Doctrine and Covenants? To help prepare for this year’s course of Gospel Doctrine study, see “Doctrine and Covenants Revealed,” “Enriching Your Study of the Doctrine and Covenants,” and “Treasuring the Doctrine and Covenants.”

Several articles in the January issue teach that Heavenly Father is always aware of us, even in difficult times in our lives. See “Left with a Violin and a Hymnbook,” “Gardenias in January,” and “Bipolar Disorder: My Lessons in Love, Hope, and Peace.”
