It will be filled with activities, breakfast, a parade for the young kids (to dress up like pioneers and or railway men), and also we will be building humanitarian kits for those that stand in need. Our ward has a specific assignment to collect hand towels. These can be brought to me or to the Tello’s house. We need 500 of them donated for the whole ward. Please if you wouldn’t mind that would be amazing!

-EQ Temple Nights We will continue to have them once monthly. Please note these dates. We will do as many ordiances as we can with the idea in mind to do family names and disperse the quorum doing ordnances throughout the temple—including baptisms, initiatory, endowments, and sealings. 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:

-April 29^th 7:00 PM

-May 19^th Ward Temple Night, 8:20 PM Endowment Session, must arrive by 7:45 PM. (Tentative)

-May 20^th 7:00 PM

2010 EQ Family Focus: This year the Elders Quorum Presidency will be emphasizing Family Home Evening, Fathers Interviews, and Family Councils. We will be having some activities and visits that center around these with you and your family. I’d like to know if you and your family have the Church’s Family Home Evening Manual? Please let me know. I may just grab some for our quorum to give out. Here is a good site for you to review for FHE suggestions:
