Elders and family,

We have a service project at the Collets on July 15th (tomorrow), please let me know if you can attend. On July 16th we have a Pasta Plant assignment from 6-10 PM for 3 people to fill- game? We have Father and Sons on Friday and Saturday. Additionally, the missionaries are in need of rides from priesthood holders (18 and above) during the day/evening. If you could reply and let me know if you’d be willing and what times and days you might be able to work something into your schedule that would be helpful. Then if they need us they can call us.

Bobby Tello in Sunday’s lesson issued a challenge to all of us Elders that we do the following prior to our next trip to the temple:

  1. What is the next date I’ll be attending the temple?
  2. What am I going to do to prepare to go to the temple to better feel the Spirit of the Lord?

Starting in August or September we will start having a monthly night where Elders and family are encouraged to go to the temple. Let me know if you have a preference on time of day and day of week.

1. Pray: 3 times daily individually and with your family

President Monson said this: “To those within the sound of my voice who are struggling with challenges and difficulties large and small, prayer is the provider of spiritual strength; it is the passport to peace. Prayer is the means by which we approach our Father in Heaven, who loves us. Speak to Him in prayer and then listen for the answer. Miracles are wrought through prayer.(“Be Your Best Self”, President Monson, April 2009.)

2. READ: Read The Book of Mormon daily

President Monson promised this to us!! “ I promise you, whether you hold the Aaronic or the Melchizedek Priesthood, that if you will study the scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptation and to receive direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased.(“Be Your Best Self”, President Monson, April 2009.)

3. MEDITATE: Meditate on those things that you read in The Book of Mormon and prayed about. Put something from your reading into practice daily.
