Sacrament Meeting
Will Taylor - "Spiritual Promptings and How They Can Lead to Service"
Will shared some experiences when he and his family followed promptings and how they were able to bless lives.
“Listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. … You’ll have a prompting to say something or to do something in relationship to those that you serve with or in your neighborhood or so forth. Do it! Trust the Lord.” M Russell Ballard
Janae Colburn - Spoke on Service
Janae shared many wonderful experiences of how service has truly impacted her life and the lives of those she loves.
Matthew 25:40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
We are grateful for the spirit that was felt as we had the privilege of listening to
Elder Clark today.
When our lives are completely focused on Jesus Christ, we can know joy !!!

First Presidency Christmas Devotional
“Jesus Christ is God’s transcendent gift — the gift of the Father to all of His children,” said President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the First Presidency’s Christmas Devotional.
“That birth we joyfully celebrate each Christmas season.”
The prophet encouraged Latter-day Saints to “accept many gifts offered by the Lord,” including an unlimited capacity to love, the ability to forgive, repentance and the promise of “life everlasting,” or eternal life.

Mountain View Ward Welcomes the Lauritzens:
Mountain View Ward Welcomes the Lauritzens:
We have been married for 40 years and have lived in Texas, Utah and Arizona. Elder Lauritzen has talents in many areas and spent his career in education. He taught drafting and other vocational subjects at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher, Arizona for 20 years before retiring in June of 2016. Sister Lauritzen taught private piano in her own studio for 24 years. We enjoyed working as ordinance workers at both the Mesa Temple and The Gila Valley Arizona Temple.
We are parents of 5 children who live in Seattle, Thatcher (Arizona), Austin (Texas), Boston and Hong Kong. 2 of our sons, Ammon and Jacob, are each married and have given us 5 grandchildren, ranging in age from 11 to 4. Our only daughter, Stori, is a trained Montessori guide at an international school in Hong Kong. She will be visiting over Christmas. Our youngest 2 sons, Kyle and Dallin, are gay. Kyle has a partner, Derek. We skype with each of our children weekly. They are very supportive of our desire to serve missions.
We served our first mission together in Tonga as ITEP missionaries, teaching education courses to the teachers of the church school in Vava’u. We taught 15 courses in our 22 months there and had 5 teachers achieve their teaching certificate. Elder Lauritzen has his doctorate in education, which allowed us to be adjunct faculty for BYU-Hawaii. We returned from Tonga at the end of June 2018.
Our present missionary call is in the Arizona Scottsdale Mission office. Elder Lauritzen is the housing coordinator and Sister Lauritzen is the mission secretary. This assignment is 23 months. We live within the Chaparral Ward but requested to be able to attend this ward, because Elder Lauritzen’s parents reside in the ward at the Brookdale assisted living center, and we are able to help with them as needed. We feel blessed to be able to serve another mission together at this time in our lives.
The DI Pod is at the Stake Center Parking Lot permanently.

In this Christmas video, three modern-day wise men show us that the greatest gifts we can give Jesus Christ are service, love, and charity to others—especially those in need.
When the Wise Men in Jesus Christ’s day traveled to see him, they brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
"These are not the gifts Jesus asks of us,” said Thomas S. Monson. “From the treasure of our hearts Jesus asks that we give of ourselves.”
