As soon as you did one of these, my little brothers, to me you did it
Matthew 25:40
Everyone needs good and true friends, who will be a great strength and blessing for you. They will influence in your way of thinking and acting, and will even help determine the person you will become. Tea they will help to be a better person and they will do that living the gospel of Jesus Christ be more easy for you. Choose friendships that have the same values as you, so that they can strengthen and encourage each other to live high standards
To have good friends, be a good friend; shows genuine interest in others; smile and make them Know that you care about them. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, and avoid judging and criticizing those around you. Do not participate in any form of intimidation or aggression. do an effort special for being friends with those who are shy, who
find themselves alone, have special needs or feel that are not part of the group When trying to have friendship with others, do not compromise your rules.
If your friends (as) urge you to do bad things, be the person that defends the good, even if you are alone; maybe have to find other friends who will support you to keep the commandments Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in taking those decisions.
As you strive to live the gospel, you will encourage your friends to do the same. Be an example of saving the commandments participating in the activities of the Church, preparing you to serve the Lord throughout your life and staying worthy to attend the temple.
Invite your friends who have other religious beliefs to attend to the meetings and activities of the Church; help them feel well received and accepted. Many people have joined the Church through example and the twinning of their friendships. Also, make a special effort to reach out help new converts and those who are less active.
