MTC Day – Life moves pretty fast
As I opened Facebook today, a flood of memories and feelings came to me as I saw pictures of what was going on two years ago on this day. In some ways two years is not a long time. We've had a lot of change in our life over the past two years (as I'm... Continue Reading →
President Russell M. Nelson Ministering to the world
After being released as a counselor in the bishopric I was called as the ward mission leader in the Highland 14th ward. I was asked to present a ward mission plan. The theme that I felt inspired to use was simply, "As I have loved you, love one another."
