Elders,

Hopefully you are driving safely through the big storm Friday morning – or better yet, you are still at home waiting it out. We had a great lesson on Sunday. Brother Barlow did a great job of leading our discussion. We talked through Elder Renland’s talk from last conference and spent a fair amount of time discussing missions and the great opportunities to share the gospel. I really appreciate Farrell’s wisdom, insight, and advice.

This coming Sunday in gospel doctrine we’ll be focusing on the first 10 chapters in 1 Nephi. There are so many learnings over the past two weeks. Lehi and his family are amazing and in so many ways they are real. Tired, frustrated parents, fighting siblings, reluctant obedience, murmuring, complaining, and general familial struggles. There also is faith, patience, long-suffering, obedience, prayers, thanks, and dreams. How will the discussion go? How has your personal and family study progressed?

This Sunday is ward conference, and in preparation we are inviting you to attend the 6:30 pm session at the Jordan River Temple on Friday. I will not be able to attend, but I hope that many of you can meet up and enjoy the blessings of the temple. 

The following Sunday (25-Jan) we’ll be holding one of our meet-and-eat activities. Marshall Rudd is organizing the activity. If you would like to host a dinner, or participate at someone’s house, please contact Marshall.

As always, please look out for your friends and neighbors, especially as we have some severe winter weather.

We have a wonderful quorum and neighborhood. Thank you for everything you do.

Have a great weekend!
