Conference Weekend!

Hello Elders,

We made it another 6 months and get to hear from and sustain our newly called First Presidency. It is going to be a memorable and inspiring conference.

Continuing on with the tradition, we will be meeting at Philly Steak & Sub just before the priesthood session starts on Saturday evening. We'll meet at 7:00 pm for dinner and make sure you bring cash because Philly is old school and won't take credit cards. If you need directions it is located on the southeast corner of Vermont and 192. The address is:
2009 13th StSt Cloud, FL 34769
(407) 957-6772‎

Should be good times and good food for all.

The spiritual thought for this week comes from the March Ensign, A Tribute to President Hinckley by Thomas S. Monson:
"May I share just one final experience—a simple act which has touched me deeply. Each Thursday morning the members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have a meeting in the temple. We are driven in carts underground from the Church office parking lot to the temple. During the cold winter months, President Hinckley always wore a coat and a hat during the brief ride. As our cart passed under Main Street, President Hinckley knew that we were then within the confines of the temple rather than under the street and, without a word, would remove his hat and place it on his lap. He seemed to know instinctively when that moment arrived. It was such a simple yet profound expression of reverence and respect for the house of the Lord, and it made a deep impression on me."

I can't wait for conference this weekend and look forward to seeing you all at the priesthood session. We love you and appreciate all you do!
