The reading source for this year is the New Testament. The reading assignment for he week of May 8-14 is Matthew 19-20, Mark 10 and Luke 18.

The “Come, Follow Me” devotional asks, “‘If you had the opportunity to ask the Savior a question, what would it be?’ When a certain rich young man met the Savior for the first time, he asked, ‘What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’ (Matthew 19:16). The Savior’s response showed both appreciation for the good things the young man had already done and loving encouragement to do more. When we ponder the possibility of eternal life, we may similarly wonder if there’s more we should be doing.”
