Elders and family,

Thanks to all those who came to Ward Temple Night and have recently participated in so much service. We certainly appreciate your willingness.

I will be starting annual Personal Priesthood Interviews (PPI) this next Tuesday. I will be doing them through the month of July. Please let me know when you could meet with me Elders. It will take about 20-30 minutes.

Sandy Hills Elders Quorum Goals Reminder:

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

4. ATTEND: Attend your Sacrament Meeting, Sunday School, Elders Quorum, and other Ward activities

5. MINISTER: Minister in your calling as a husband, father, home teacher, or other callings you might have

You’ll be blessed! I can promise that—for sure!

Reminders, Upcoming Events and Service Projects

-EQ Temple Nights are not scheduled currently. We are seeing if we can coordinate all of the wanted Ward Temple Nights and other activities. I will update you when I’ve got more clarity on this.

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:
