Sacrament Meeting

Speaker : Adair Peacock -  Adair spoke on family history and an experience when she found her great grandmother who she had forgotten and how she was able to find her and do her work. She spoke of going to the temple and doing temple work. There are those that have a recommend and some whom want a recommend and when we have it it is nice to take advantage of having it. Adair and her son Antonio go every week to do family names.

 It is a wonderful service.

Speaker: Shane Hatch - Shane spoke on family history also. He printed out a 7 and 9 generation fan chart. He said " There is nothing for me to do". There are 32 names out there that aren't done. There are people out there and things that we can offer. There are names on Jessica's family that we can help to do. We want to have the biggest party in heaven with our ancestors. We love them and that's why we should do their work for them to have the opportunity to accept the gospel and the ordinances that we have given them that opportunity. Temples are where we do eternal ordinances.
We have a great opportunity to do good in the world. We have lots of people who are on our sides. The prophets and apostles, the bishop, and our ancestors are on our side.

The Bishop gave remarks on family history. When he and his wife were
first married they we're in the Ohio. In the Kirkland stake. They were able to do family history at the Wittman home. During the first year of dental school they could testify that the spirit of Elijah is real. Bishop was led by the spirit that guided him to find names.

Recently a letter came in the mail from the bishop to do family history and take advantage of the resources out there and take family names to the temple. 
Please come see bishop to get a recommend and work on going to the temple.

Sacrament Meeting

What an amazing sacrament meeting it was

Sophia Packard (just an FYI she just turned 16 and now is of dating age) 

Sophia spoke Gratitude 

Luke 17:11-19

When Christ healed the ten lepers, only one came back to give thanks.

In a society that grows increasingly hectic, how often do we run from the house

 without stopping to thank Him? 

This one leper reminds us that 

there is always time for thanks, always time for gratitude. 

Entitlement is the work of the adversary 

When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships.                              - Steve Maraboli

Lexi Nickel Shared beautiful and uplifting stories of her ancestors traveling across the plains to the west and the great examples that have been provided for her through their lives. 

Musical Number by Adi & Jason Davis "A Child's Prayer"

Jason Davis reported on his mission to Milan, Italy. Everyone in attendance was touched by the spirit that permeated this meeting. 

Moroni 7

13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.

15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.

17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.

Jason reminded us that

"Good thoughts are from God and we need to act on them"

One of the greatest blessings from his mission was when he would see people's lives change as they began to live the principles of the gospel. 

Jason shared how learning through the spirit will guide us and direct us every moment of our life if we will seek it

Jason shared how while on his mission he took Moroni's Promise and he prayed to know if the Book of Mormon and it's teachings were true and he received a firm answer that 

"Yes, It is True"

He closed his talk by sharing the words to the 4th verse of 

I Believe in Christ 

and then his beautiful testimony in Italian

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!

From him I'll gain my fondest dream;

And while I strive through grief and pain,

His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain."

I believe in Christ; so come what may,

With him I'll stand in that great day

When on this earth he comes again

To rule among the sons of men.
