Just a Thought . . . .
President Monson reiterates a birthday wish of almost a decade ago. When asked to describe his ideal birthday gift in 2008, President Monson said, “Do something for someone else on that day to make his or her life better. Find someone who is having a hard time or is ill or lonely and do something for them. That’s all I would ask.”
It is the same message President Monson shared last April in general conference, when he asked Church members to examine their lives and follow the “Savior’s example by being kind, loving and charitable.”

Speakers
Elder Hampton - shared his conversion story. Even though he grew up in the church he wasn't always active, he attended off and on and it wasn't until his senior year of High School that he was truly converted when his Bishop asked him "are you going to serve a mission" and he shares how that single moment changed his life.
Nestor Tolosa - shared the conversion story of their family and their search for truth that led them to become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Musical number
