Stake Conference

Sunday, March 22,2009

The theme for Stake Conference was:

. . .if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.

Doctrine and Covenants 38:30

We were counseled to prepare for that day when things will be tough.

We can do this by

1.) developing FAITH in our Savior Jesus Christ and believing in the words of His servants.

2.) Having HOPE in Him and praying to him.  We should acknowledge His hand in all things.

and

3.) We should possess CHARITY.  We should love others like Christ loves us.  We should look for acts of service we can perform to ease the burdens of others.  We should increase our fast offering, even if only by a few dollars.

We were also told to be diligent in four areas, PRAYER, SCRIPTURE STUDY, SACRAMENT MEETING ATTENDANCE, and TEMPLE ATTENDANCE.

The parable of the Ten Virgins was also used as an example.

Sunset Hills Memories

I remember ward summer swim parties at the Turners' compound. I can taste the watermelon and smell the burgers on the grill. (Technically I know they have held parties there for many wards.)

I remember a Casady grand child nearly scaring me to death sitting behind me in Sacrament Meeting with a strange loud vacuum slurping noise. (I have never heard any other baby make that noise. I think he just liked the way it sounded.)

I remember really enjoying an impromptu Sacrament Meeting talk by Brother Durkee about a motorcycling trip to visit temples. He came to Church and was called on to speak from the podium. It was a really good talk, but it scared me to think that I might come to worship some Sunday and be told I was the main speaker. (It also unnerved many youth of the Ward.)

I remember Sister Fox (the younger one) giving a primary sharing time wearing a Scientist's smock.

Do you have any Sunset Hills Memories?
