Raise Your Hand If...

...you know who Carl Ben Islison is?  If you don't, listen to Owen's Palm Sunday Sermon.  I had the privilege today and enjoyed two sermons that Owen gave this past week.  One was entitled "The Other Thief" and his other was "Flesh and Stone."  They were excellent and very thought provoking!  With the wonderful technology we enjoy now I realized last week that although I couldn't go hear a sermon given by my grandson (your nephew/cousin) I could still hear him teach.  You can go on his church's website flcnaples.com and listen to them. In Owen's sermon he said something that I wrote down.  I want to remember this thought in the coming days.   "A LIFE LIVED FOR OTHERS" What a perfect reminder this week as we approach Easter Sunday that the Savior and our Heavenly Father set the ultimate example and reminder of our responsibility while we are on this earth.

Will's Mission Call!

Will received his mission call today!  He has been called as a Service Missionary in the Utah Saratoga Springs Mission.  His mission will begin on July 22.  As a service missioanry Will  gets to live at home during his mission.   I have had the opportunity to interact with many of the Service Missionaries in the Gilbert area and have been so impressed with all the of the service they give in the community.  Recently in our Sacrament Meeting the whole program was provided by our service missionaries (and there were a lot of them!).  They provided the music, the talks, the enthusiasm, and their testimonies that no matter where you serve you are giving your time and talents to the Lord!
