Elders and Family,

I’m guessing you’ve already heard but we’ve got another temple coming in UT. Just think that our families can attend 2 more dedications and open houses in the coming couple of years—Brigham City and also Payson as well. Very cool!

We have several items going on this week. I am going to try and get these updates our on Sunday afternoons to recap what we’ve heard at Church and then also try to include some FHE ideas so you and your family might use them on Monday nights. Sound good?

Here are some reminders:

-Reminder: Baptisms January 29^th at 5 PM. If you signed up please plan to arrive at 5 and enjoy!

-The EQ has snow removal and the set up of chairs on Sunday. Please try and help out if you can. Chair set up is at 8:00 AM and Snow Removal is as early as 7:30 AM.

-Stake Conference is coming!!! February 6-7^th. The night of the 6^th we will have a Adult Meeting at the Stake Center. Sunday at 7:00 AM it is Stake Priesthood Leadership Meeting then Stake Conference begins at 10:00 AM. Please plan to attend.

-The YW their second basketball game on February 2^nd at 7:15 PM. They have basketball practice from 4:00 to 5:00 PM every Monday through March. Their schedule will come likely next week as an attachment. See their attached schedule.

-The Ward Calendar (attached) has several updates to it I am certain that you and your family will find helpful such as- YM & YW Activities, EQ Assignments, Den Meetings, Activity Days, etc. Also this calendar is available at our Sandy Hills Ward Website on LDS.org and will be updated monthly if not sooner.

Please plan to attend with you and your children that can go. If you can let me know in advance if you and your family are going I will have reservations made for all of you and even have plenty of family file names that you can do while there. Please arrive by 6:30 PM at the Draper Temple as the sessions would start at 7:00 PM. Here are the dates:
