We got this photo from Elder Zaugg on Saturday morning. It was pretty cool down here in the valley, but we were still surprised at the amount of snow they had up in Flagstaff!What was more exciting was that we were headed up there that afternoon for the STAKE CONFERENCE up in Flagstaff!
We were in attendance there that night for the start of a weekend where this stake was reorganized under the direction of Elders Corbridge and Jones who flew in to take care of business.
The current Stake President was President Mark Frost, who you may have heard about as his name was read in General Conference as a new area seventy.
So, we were there to speak in the Saturday evening session about the wonderful HASTENING THE WORK OF SALVATION!
My advice to all was to make your homes an MTC! Study and apply the principles from PREACH MY GOSPEL!!
I had all our missionaries stand and recite our purpose in the meeting:
"Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end."
Isn't that our FAMILY PURPOSE?
Isn't that our MEMBER PURPOSE?
Isn't that our HEAVENLY FATHER'S PURPOSE (to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man) just said in different words, but all the same!!
Sunday when we came back for the Sunday session, there was snow on the ground when we went in, and we were set for some great photos with the missionaries at that building after the session...but most had melted by that point, so we only had some piles to make snowballs for photos of proof!
Elder Livingston shows off his JUGGLING...
...Elder Albrecht shows off his SNOWMAN HAT!
We all toss our snowballs up...
It was a great day of revelation in these meetings. Questions were answered.
New callings were sustained.
We felt the confirmations of the Spirit.
Our purposes were completed for that meeting!
May you seek for fulfilling YOUR PURPOSE!!
Have a great week! Sister Cheryl Taylor
