Dear sisters and brothers,
What a beautiful Christmas season we have experienced. I have personally witnessed a spirit of giving and service that has amazed me and lifted my heart in faith. So many heaven-inspired gifts that have been given …never seeking recognition from the world, rather choosing to serve God by showing true love for a “fellow being”. (Matthew 6:4, Mosiah 2:17)
As we close 2021 and open 2022, what aspirations do you have?
How will we use this amazing treasure of time in a way that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father?
In a few short weeks, we will introduce a new focus for the year at our Stake Conference (Jan 15-16). We invite all to be with us and bring friends…
In the conference, we will hear inspiring messages and see new video presentations, but our real goal is that each of us will prepare for and receive a rich outpouring of the Spirit that will bring increased faith, testimony, inner strength, and needed support to move forward on the covenant path.
We invite all to prepare for the conference by seeking revelation from our Father as did the people of King Benjamin. (Mosiah 1-5)
Here are some suggestions for specific actions you may want to include in your preparation:
Participate in the winter clothing drive by donating, inviting a friend, or helping with the sharing event.
Visit the temple grounds or attend a temple session
Prayerfully study Mosiah chapters 1-5 and ask…
What did the people of King Benjamin do to receive the rich outpouring they experienced?
What is the Lord inviting me to do to have a similar experience?
Open FamilySearch.org (computer) or Family Tree (mobile device) and try one of the Activities.
Prayerfully think of your ancestors and the sacrifices they made that have positively impacted your life.
Prayerfully ask the following:
What can I do to increase my connections/relationships with my ancestors?
What can I do to increase my connections/relationships with family members?
What aspects of family history and temple WORK should I focus on in 2022?
How can I help my ancestors be connected to the Savior?
We will be sharing updates and information about the conference at this link. Check back frequently.
I love you all! Have a great week!
President Gardner
P.S. The next time you go to the temple...don’t forget to snap a photo and send it to me…:)
