Dear Payson 10th Ward Missionaries: I’m trying a new blog spot so please bear with me until I get it figured out.

I hope and pray that his message finds each of you doing well. May I ask special prayers in behalf of Ginger Beddoes, LeeAnn and Jake Beddoes, Mickey Sorensen, Joseph Slanec, Eldon Braithwaite and others that are not coming to mind at the moment. These individuals are facing some very challenging physical times. Some could be potentially life threatening. Please include them in your prayers.

I invite you to watch and listen to the following YouTube video. This sister that is singing has lost 2 of her children to some disease at about 2 years and I think 4 years old. She has a 3rd toddler with the same disease. This song has such a special meaning to her, and to each of us who have lost a loved one. I hope you enjoy and feel the spirit from this and that it helps to warm your heart to the Savior Jesus Christ.

I’m grateful that we sang this song in sacrament meeting a few weeks ago.

Enjoy 1 more short video. Find Joy in your Life.

As we get closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas I would encourage each of us to ask for help from the spirit and come up with something we can each do for our assigned families, our ward members, our friends and our personal families. Some gesture that will help them to know that they are loved by not only their Heavenly parents and the Savior Jesus Christ. But, loved and noticed by His earthly angels. You and I.

“Our needed conversions are often achieved more readily by suffering and adversity than by comfort and tranquillity. … Father Lehi promised his son Jacob that God would ‘consecrate [his] afflictions for [his] gain’ (2 Nephi 2:2). The Prophet Joseph was promised that ‘thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; and then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high’ (D&C 121:7–8). Most of us experience some measure of what the scriptures call ‘the furnace of affliction’ (Isaiah 48:10; 1 Nephi 20:10). Some are submerged in service to a disadvantaged family member. Others suffer the death of a loved one or the loss or postponement of a righteous goal like marriage or childbearing. Still others struggle with personal impairments or with feelings of rejection, inadequacy, or depression. Through the justice and mercy of a loving Father in Heaven, the refinement and sanctification possible through such experiences can help us achieve what God desires us to become.” - Elder Dallin H. Oaks - “The Challenge to Become,“ Ensign, Nov. 2000, 32

I witness to each of you the Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Our Savior our Redeemer and He who suffered all of our sins, sorrows, pains, doubts and all negative things in our lives. He with His atonement took upon himself all these things, all the sins, mistakes, fears all the negativity of mortal life and its experiences. And he gives us His love in return. He shares that eternal God Like love with each of us. What does He ask in return. A broken heart and a contrite spirit.

I testify to each of you that He loves you !!!. He is so anxious to bless you with the riches of eternity. Turn your hearts to him. Cut back on the distractions of this world. Seek for Him and ye shall find him. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
