Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

"T" for "Thirst no More"

For legal purposes (and personal integrity) I attribute this image to Living Water International www.water.cc I do not endorse them, I only put the web address because those are the conditions to be able to use this beautiful photo. Woah. Mouthful. :)

Scripture:
D&C 63:23 "But unto him that keepeth my commandments I will give the mysteries of my kingdom, and the same shall be in him a well of living water, springing up unto everlasting life.

Story: “The Woman at the Well,” Friend, Mar 2001, 8 found here.

Activity: Construct our own mini-well, instructions found here. Gather supplies for an additional well to give to a family with young children in your ward.

Questions: Our bodies thirst for water, what do our spirits thirst for?
What do we do to get the water Christ spoke of to the woman at the well in our lives?

Bear Testimony

Activity: Go as a family to give the well materials to another family of your choice. Print out instructions for them as "well" as this poem (by yours truly):

Our Heavenly King and Father
Sent down His precious Son
The source of all joy and truth
Eternal life begun.

Each and every day
Christmas time or not
The living water flows
And is not to be forgot.

Our well is filled and topped
with love up to the brim.
Happy Holidays and memories!
All glory to be to Him!
