What’s Happening in our Stake

Hello sisters and brothers,

Each time we hold a stake conference, I am grateful for the efforts of the many people who work to make it a success. From cleaning the building grounds to setting up the chairs, to preparing the technology and broadcasting, to the prayers, translation, talks, and music; it is an amazing collaborative undertaking.

I would like to give special thanks to the choir members who prepared to perform a special arrangement of “Choose the Right”, by Jeannie Perrington for the Sunday morning session. Due to last-minute illnesses, we were not able to hear from them, but I am certain our Father in Heaven has made note of their preparatory effort and sacrifice.

I would like to also give special thanks to those who helped create the Taylorsville Temple Groundbreaking display in the stake offices in time for the conference. Please take a moment to see this beautiful reminder of how blessed we are to have a temple under construction. Rulon Swensen and Gary Mackay built and mounted a lovely, handmade display case to house the commemorative shovel which is adorned with photos of the temple.

It was a pleasure to see all who attended each of the sessions of the conference. Whether in person or via technology, I hope we were all able to feel uplifted and inspired. I made note of several things I plan to adjust in my life to help me grow closer to our Father in Heaven and be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. Hearing Elder Bowen’s invitation in two different sessions to open our mouths gave me a stronger desire to do as he counseled. There are so many ways we can share the light and warmth of the gospel with others.

What did you hear that impressed you?

What changes are you planning to make?

What revelation came to you?

For those who would like to review the messages from the conference, we have placed written copies of the talks by stake leaders and members on the stake website:

I hope these talks and our personal notes and memories will help us all grow closer to our Father in Heaven.

Here is a question to ponder…

What does our “membership” in the church mean to us?

In next week’s message, I will take some time to explore that question. Until then, I pray for your success and happiness…your strength and well-being.

Love,

President Gardner
