Friends,
I'm sorry you haven't heard from me this week! Last night was a fabulous evening in the temple. I attended with the youth in the baptistry. However, we had members doing initiatory sessions, endowments, and sealings. I believe that our ward was richly blessed. There are miracles happening in our ward, it is so very true. I hope you're seeing them, if not, please let me know ;). I want EVERYBODY to experience them.
I'm really trying to think of how to bring the miracles to everybody. I am putting a LOT of hope and faith in the outreach activity, the Missionary Blitz activity on Nov 23. That activity is for EVERYBODY so we can minister, meet our neighbors, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please help us to make cookies :). Ask the missionaries for details. It is going to be awesome. One of the main opportunities for this activity is to invite people to the Arlington Nativity Festival - we'll have a ton of cookies and nativity invites to provide to the people we minister to, our neighbors, and anybody else.
I recently listened to President Uchtdorf's talk, "Nourish the Roots, and the Branches will Grow". In the talk, he briefly talked about how he had "the great privilege of assisting in this important task." He says that he pumped with all [his] strength so the organ would not run out of wind. As I read those comments, I thought about how each of you are pumping with all of your strength to keep the music going. I thought of how beautiful the allegorical music of our ward is as we pump that fuel of testimony into our congregation. You are FABULOUS.
Also, if you aren't able to attend stake conference due to some impairment, please attend with us online. I'm attaching the link to the broadcast below. The Saturday adult session today at 7pm and Sunday General Session at 10am will be broadcast online. Please, please join us. Of course, if you can come in person, please attend with us. There is nothing that brings me more joy than seeing your BEAUTIFUL faces :)
