Dear Brothers and Sisters, We are thrilled to welcome home Elder Jake Haslam from the Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission. Come join our sacrament meeting at 12 pm to hear the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For He is salvation and redemption!

Christ is the center of God’s great plan of happiness for His children. It is our prayer that we come unto Jesus, be valiant in our testimonies of Him, and faithfully…

Dear Friends, Alma’s instructions to Helaman regarding prayer are surely among the most excellent in all of sacred text. We endorse Alma 37:36-37 for your reading. We testify that every earnest petition to God is heard of Him. We also testify that as we frequently and sincerely pray, we can grow closer to God and feel more of His love. Elder David A. Bednar stated that we ought not to pray so that we can tell God what we want, but rather we should pray to ask what God wants for us. He said that with this change in our approach, our prayers will be positively changed forever. We invite…

Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are excited to hear from Sister Avery Smith, returning from the Philippines Olongapo mission, and Elder Aidan Smith, departing for the Nevada Reno mission. Please join us for sacrament meeting beginning at 12 pm this Sunday. We also invite you to attend our ward temple night scheduled for July 20th (this Sat evening at 5pm at Jordan River). In Alma 30 we learn about the false doctrine and ultimate demise of the Anti-Christ Korihor. Despite significant success amongst the Nephites in the land of Zarahemla, his mission to the people of Ammon was not successful. These people were described by Mormon as “more wise than…

Dear Friends, We marvel at the story of the Lamanites who converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ because of the preaching of Ammon and his brothers. This story is one of faith, repentance, and enduring to the end. This story is about allowing Jesus to change us. These people were willing to listen and try their faith. When they felt God’s spirit, they made up their minds, acted in righteousness and never swayed! It is said of them that “as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away. For they become a righteous people; they did lay down…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we celebrated the 4th of July this week. We reflect on the words of Nephi recorded over 2600 years ago in chapter 13 starting in verse 16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them. 17 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle against them. 18 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, and also that the wrath of God was upon…

Dear Friends, We invite you to come worship with us tomorrow at 12 PM. We will hear speakers on the topics of Repentance and Forgiveness. We are so thankful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Elder Uchtdorf taught that “Because of God’s perfect love for us and the eternal sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our sins—both great and small—can be blotted out and remembered no more. We can stand before Him pure, worthy, and sanctified.” Perhaps the most comforting statement on the topic of Repentance and Forgiveness is found in D&C 58:42. It says, “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember…
