COMMON HOPES AND GOALS .... This list could have come from anyone


Sunday, while Elder Hewlett and I were setting up our classroom I went to take some "rubbish" into the kitchen and found this note on a small table which was overflowing with bags, junk and even food. I could have written it, you could have written it, or it could have been written one hundred years ago or yesterday,

but here in our little Chichester Ward/Building someone shared the desires of all of our collective hearts and souls. We just want to be "better" here, take care of our loved ones, be useful to the Lord and "keep our faith." The saints are no different here than they are in Bountiful, Utah or South Africa, or in Winnipeg, Canada, or in Guernsey. They worship and pray to the same God,  their desires are simple and no matter the size of our homes, or the clothes we wear, or the cars we drive it is pretty simple ... "keep our faith and finish our course." That is one of the reasons I love the temple. We are one and usually we know little of the person who sits and stands beside us, except they are there to serve and learn and find peace and "be better." That's all, it's a simple story today. These are my goals also and this I believe.

Missionaries ...

One  of the blessings of our call is working with the missionaries. We meet with them in district and quad zone meetings, we teach with them...
