Last Week of June!


That's right, we are only days away from the best holiday of the year...the 4th of July! This week we are excited to hear from the Bishop as he takes our third hour lesson on Sunday. He has a great lesson for us and some new information on how to be more effective missionaries.
Please remember to get your hometeaching done by Monday and let us know if you need any help. The spiritual thought for this week comes from President Henry B. Eyring's first presidency message in the June Ensign: "In our own time we have been warned with counsel on where to find safety from sin and from sorrow. One of the keys to recognizing those warnings is that they are repeated. For instance, more than once in general conferences, you have heard our prophet say that he would quote a preceding prophet and would therefore be a second witness and sometimes even a third."
We look forward to seeing you this Sunday and hope you enjoy your weekend.

Hello Elders

Hope you are enjoying your summer so far.


This Sunday we will have a great lesson from Elder Bednar on how to improve our desire to become more Christ like. His talk titled "Clean Hands and a Pure Heart," is a wonderful reminder of our need to continually improve our lives by drawing closer to the Savior.

The question we will council on is: What small improvements can you make this week to change your desires?

Hopefully, everyone has caught the spirit of our councils and understands the necessity to read and prepare before coming to class. There is much more to gain if these steps are followed. Please take a few minutes to read the lessons each week and here is the link to Elder Bednar's talk: http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=f318118dd536c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=608826cb31cf5110VgnVCM100000176f620a____&hideNav=1

The spiritual thought comes from the lesson: "Our spiritual purpose is to overcome both sin and the desire to sin, both the taint and the tyranny of sin." Elder David A. Bednar

We love you all and hope you've had a great week!
