Matt Hill from the Stake Young Mens Presidency

Matt related is experiences in scouting to being prepared in life. He reminded us to evaluate the things that fill our lives and strive not to allow the things of less importance take up space.

Steve Harper from Stake High Council shared the love of our Stake Presidency.

Steve focused his thoughts on building, maintaining and sharing our testimonies. He reminded us to be aware of small and simple blessings that remind us that the Lord truly is mindful of us and knows each one of us.

Family History

Could you be related to someone in our ward?  Curious?  Could there be some distant relative you have in common?  

Here's how you can find out:

1. Click on this link: http://beta.relativefinder.org/#/groups/15402/join
2. Join the Group: Mountain View Related
3. Password: mountain

This site will request access to your Family Search account, and that is what you will use to sign in and join the group and find out if you are related.

Also, on this site, by clicking on Relatives you can find out if you are related to LDS heritage, USA founders, Presidents, and yes even movie Stars. For example I found out that I was related to some of our current day apostles, past leader (Hinkley), some presidents (Roosevelt), and even Lucille Ball.

As a reminder, if you need any help with any of your Family History, give your Ward Family History Consultants a call. We are excited and willing to help you make that next step, what ever it is.

Happy Mother's Day 

to all the first year moms,

 the long time moms, aunts who are wonderful 2nd 

moms & the not yet moms because Gods plan for all 

of us is so different and special. Thank you to all 

the women who are such examples to each of us.

“No matter where you are in life, whether you are a woman looking forward to one day having a family, currently in the trenches of motherhood or a seasoned grandmother, there is a mother to be found in each of us,” said Sister Linda K. Burton. “A nurturing influence is not limited to those who bear children. The effect of righteous women is felt in communities throughout the world.”

For the Unglamorous Mother
