Congratulations Chris!

Hello Elders,

Today was a big day for Chris Alesich and his family. Chris has been taking the missionary discussions for several weeks and was baptized this morning by Ken Danley. Ken introduced the gospel to Chris and played a major part in his conversion. Chris is an awesome guy and now a great member of our quorum. We welcome him and are excited to see him grow in the gospel. Congratulations Chris!

Sunday’s lesson will be out of the Joseph Smith manual and taught by our superb teacher, Brother Prather. Please find the time to read the lesson before our meeting and here is the link:

Also, we have some great news about hometeaching. Tired of those month end phone calls from one of us trying to see how many families you have visited? Well, now you can enter your results on this blog. If you scroll down below the calendar on this page you'll find a list of all the families our quourm is responsible for. To report your visits, simply click on each of your families and then click on the vote button at the bottom of the list. How great is that! We hope everyone will utilize this tool and we appreciate all of your hometeaching efforts.

The spiritual thought for this week comes from the lesson material:
“Search your hearts, and see if you are like God. I have searched mine, and feel to repent of all my sins.” - Joseph Smith

Thanks for all your support and help in keeping our quorum great. We love you all and look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Service Saturday

Hello Elders,

We just finished a great morning of spring clean-up service projects. We got a lot done, nobody was injured or burned, and finished in record time of about 2 hours. Our work list included the following:

• Justeson's - clearing, mowing and weed wacking
• Clarke's - edging, mowing, raking
• Huhn's - raking leaves
• Whitney's - cleaning gutters

Those in attendance were: Jordan Munns, Ken Danley, the Elders, Lew Olson and friends, Collin Lahue, Tanner Clark, Josh Maughan, Dan Munns, Ryan Munns, James Munns, Joey Snider, Bryan Melick, Ben Arrington, Sam Haught, Scott Farnsworth, Paul Farnsworth, Chris Sorrough, Richard Leon and Jared Justeson (I hope that was everyone).

It was great to get out there with everyone and work. Thanks to all that helped in organizing and serving in this project.

This week our lesson will be taught by Jonathan C. Cox on the last Priesthood Session Conference address given by President Hinckley - Slow To Anger. Here is the link: http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-775-23,00.html

Our spiritual thought for the week comes from the lesson: "Now, my dear brethren, in closing I plead with you to control your tempers, to put a smile upon your faces, which will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace, appreciation, and respect. If you will do this, your lives will be without regret. Your marriages and family relationships will be preserved. You will be much happier. You will do greater good. You will feel a sense of peace that will be wonderful." President Gordon B. Hinckley

We love you all and look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
