Bishopric message

Dear Members of Parleys 3rd Ward,

Scattered on the slopes of our beautiful Rocky Mountains are innumerable trees, coniferous and deciduous. A sharp eye can spot among this vast canopy an occasional aspen tree that has a wildly crooked trunk (see the attached images below). This tree apparently suffered an ordeal early in its life, probably due to a severe snowpack. Please note that this tree recovered! Look how strong and tall it has grown!

This tree is perhaps a metaphor for life’s twists and turns. Let’s call 2020 the crook or bend in this tree’s trunk. In 2021 we have a chance to further straighten our paths and to help others do the same.

We testify that through prayer, diligent study of the word of God, and obedience to the commandments in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, all winding, crooked and bumpy paths can be made straight.

Ward Business:

The Bishopric
