Dear Brothers & Sisters, Yehoshua/Yeshua (Joshua/Jesus) in Hebrew means ‘Salvation’. The same Hebrew name for the Old Testament Joshua and New Testament Jesus Christ parallels their distinct role and mission; leading the temporal journey of the Israelites into the promised land and our own personal journey leading to eternal life with our Heavenly Father. Like the Israelites we encounter obstacles and challenges that must be overcome to progress and complete our journey. In the face of crossing the River Jordan and encountering the walls of Jericho, the Lord encourages Joshua to be strong and of good courage. He promises to not fail or forsake him. May we also be strong…

Dear Friends, In springtime we are reminded of the First Vision. In the spring of 1820, God our Father and Jesus Christ appeared and spoke to Joseph Smith and thus commenced the restoration of all things.

President Nelson has taught that, “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” We also share President Nelson’s prophetic warning that “If most of the information we get comes from social or other media, our ability to hear…

As we worship God our Father and learn of Jesus Christ, as we strive to obey the commandments and repent daily, as we study and ponder the words of the prophets >> we are able to draw upon the redemptive and enabling powers of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
