SO LONG JON KING COX

Hello Elders
So much can happen when you're not in town. I received the bad news on Sunday night that Jon King Cox will no longer be a part of our quorum. If I were present last Sunday he never would have been sustained to the High Priests :)
We sure have enjoyed Jon in quorum - he was a good man. We loved the way he presented Shannon's lessons. He was a man with the voice like an angel, and we are glad we rarely heard him sing. He had a knack for telling stories, even if they weren't true. He will be missed by all his brethren. The bright side for us is that we didn't have to help him move, the bad side is now who is going to supply the Dr. Pepper at all our activities! May he rest in ...

In all seriousness Jon, we learned alot from you by your words and actions. I appreciate all the years we served together. I was able to see first hand the love and concern you had for the Elders quorum. Don't be a stranger.

Here's a shout out to the King:

Our lesson this week will be taught by Brother Prather. It's Chapter 21 in the manual. Here is the link:

Please take the time beforehand to read the lesson and highlight any important parts of it that you feel we can learn from.

We are in the middle of the month. Let's get out and make contact with our families and make sure everyone gets to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

We are grateful for all you do

GIVE THANKS

Hello Elders,

I love the month of November. It is a great time to focus on all the things we are thankful for.

We had a great baptism take place last month. Lets all make sure Jesse knows how thankful we are that he was baptized and has joined our quorum.

Our lesson this week will be taught by the one and only, Michael Prather. We are glad to have him back after his "vacation" with new the addition to his family. The lesson material comes from the Joseph Smith Manual, Chapter 20, A Heart Full of Love and Faith: The Prophet’s Letters to His Family, and can be viewed at this link: http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=da135f74db46c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=a2c720596a845110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1&contentLocale=0vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=00b72bce258f5110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1As Please prayerfully consider this chapter and be prepared to discuss how we can apply the teachings in our lives.

Before the lesson we will be discussing as a quorum a future quorum activity. Be thinking of ideas that you can present to the quorum. This time of year is a great time for gatherings!

The spiritual thought this week comes from the lesson:"Remember that I am a true and faithful friend to you and the children forever. My heart is entwined around yours forever and ever. Oh, may God bless you all.”

We love you and are thankful for all you do and look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
