Bishopric message

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

We thank Jackson Hawes for sharing with us his testimony. Due to the pandemic, Jackson is currently home from Yale and is making plans for what next year will bring. At Yale, Jackson played football and excelled academically.

Like you, we find comfort and perspective in the scriptures. Below are a couple of recent favorites. May these verses bring you peace!

Omni 1:26: And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.

Alma 40:12: And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.

Moses 1:39: For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

We pray for you often. Thank you for your faith. Thank you for your perseverance. Thank you for your goodness. We testify to you that God is concerned with your personal lives. He desires that each of us draws closer to Him and we promise you that as you strive to do so, He will send His spirit to comfort and teach.

With love,

The Bishopric
