Hello Elders

April is winding down and soon summer will be upon us. The nicest days to live in Florida are almost over, so enjoy them while they last!

This week we will be pleased to hear from Brother Prather teaching Lesson #8 from the Joseph Smith Manual. The lesson is on the Melchizedek Priesthood and will be an awesome learning experience for all of us. Please take a minute to read the lesson before class...here's the link:

Also, the financial fireside previously scheduled for this Sunday has been changed to avoid conflicting with the stake standards night. It is now going to be on Sunday, May 4th and here are the details again:

Date: April 27th
Place: Our chapel
Time: 7:00 pm
Speaker: Scott M. Farnsworth
Topic: Managing Money in Tough Times - learn the principles of debt management, family budgeting, financial planning, the importance of tithing, and general financial stability

The spiritual thought this week comes from the lesson: "It is the channel through which the Almighty commenced revealing His glory at the beginning of the creation of this earth, and through which He has continued to reveal Himself to the children of men to the present time, and through which He will make known His purposes to the end of time.” Joseph Smith

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

Week of April 15th....Taxes Are Due!

Hello Elders,

Hopefully everyone got their taxes done by Tuesday... This week Brother Prather's back! He'll be teaching lesson number 7 in the Joseph Smith manual and here is the link for your reading enjoyment: http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=da135f74db46c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=d859b00367c45110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1&contentLocale=0

We would also like to announce an upcoming fireside on financial preparedness. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the principles of debt management, family budgeting, financial planning, the importance of tithing, and general financial stability. Here are the details:

Date: April 27th

Place: Our chapel

Time: 7:00 pm

Speaker: Scott M. Farnsworth

Topic: Managing Money in Tough Times

Please also remember to include Jesse Huhn in your thoughts and prayers this week. I know we can help him to progress in gospel and get him to join us in our quorum meeting this month. But, it will take the faith and effort of all of us to accomplish this. We will council more about him at the start of class on Sunday.

The spiritual thought for this week comes from the lesson:

“The baptism of water, without the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost attending it, is of no use,” he declared. “They are necessarily and inseparably connected. An individual must be born of water and the spirit in order to get into the kingdom of God.” - Joseph Smith

Thank you all for everything you do to keep our quorum great. We love you all and look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
