From the Bishopric
“No sooner has one difficulty been settled than another has broken out. People hope for better times, but they do not come. Today no one can look at the condition of the nation with impartial eyes without being saddened at the prospects before it. Considerable anxiety is now beginning to be felt concerning the presidential election. Next November this takes place. Whom will the people choose? Much depends on their choice.”
No, these words were not spoken in recent times – but in March of 1876 by
It is important that we shout warnings and fight to sustain God’s laws – but it is of far greater importance to fully trust in the Lord and find peace in Him. It is only with heavenly help that we will get through life’s challenges. The words of one of our hymns offers great comfort:
“Fear not, I am with thee; oh be not dismayed, For I am Thy God and will still give Thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.”
The marvelous work will forever move forward. Even while deploring the sin and horror of our generation,

Congratulations to our graduating seniors. Many of our young men and women approach the end of their high school education. We recognize these outstanding individuals for their many accomplishments and contributions to their school, the community and the ward. All those that I have recently interviewed have expressed their intention to attend college in the fall. Nearly all of them are also graduating from early morning seminary – a feat which, in my opinion, is of equal or more value than the H.S. diploma. Seminary classes begin at 6:20 A.M. and meet every school day. To earn a certificate they must have 80% attendance or better. We wholeheartedly congratulate the following individuals for their outstanding achievements:

Primary
A lot of great things happened in Primary last month.
The girls ages 8-11 had an activity day at the church where each girl made their own stationary and wrote notes of appreciation to people of their choosing. We had a lot of fun and the girls really enjoyed it. We'll do that again this month, so look for more information to come. Birthdays this month include: Connor McDonald on June 3,

Family History
The classes for "New Family Search" are going well. For those of you who have completed the course, a new feature has been added to the website. When you are in the "Pedigree with Details" window, there is a new button on the top of the row on the left side called "Summary". This window enables you to see all of the entries that have been combined or added and you can choose which one you would like to appear on your pedigree and family group records. In the past, when you combined entries, it would sometimes change the information on your records. This takes care of that frustration.
Remember, the goal is for everyone to take one of their family file cards to the temple for an Endowment on Nov. 8th. Other ordinances need to be done prior to that date. The youth are doing baptisms on April 16th. They can do more baptisms if they have family file cards to do. Contact

MISSIONARY UPDATE
In General Conference we were reminded that the missionaries are full-time teachers, and that members are full-time finders. All of us have wonderful friends and associates where we have built solid relationships of trust, and our hope is that we can follow the Spirit as we invite them to hear more about the gospel.
The
The Ward Missionaries have great confidence in the teaching abilities of Elders Puett and Mosier, and stand ready to help you find referrals for them in any way.

Singing. Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Random ideas... 7:39 pm
I can carry a tune, kind of. Dad can sing. Dad has a great voice, and when we were dating he started singing my favorite song that was on the radio: “I have a squeaky ol’ lady, name of Cole Kin Katy, who embroiders all my jeans..” I loved that song, and I thought, “Gasp…he can SING. I’m so impressed.” I really fell in love right then.
One Sunday I was sitting next to my very good friend,
Last Sunday Dad and I were sitting in front of the missionaries and I had another sweet experience because they can’t sing either. I know these two guys and there aren’t two more precious and eager elders anywhere. They are darling and their parents would be so proud of the hours they put in and the positive attitudes they have. They are always smiling and filled with the energy of the work. Just cute. Elder _________ was singing his heart out. It isn’t a strong voice - no vibrato or sustaining notes, yet it was pretty much on tune, but it was the sincerity that touched me. Every word he sang had meaning and I could feel that he was really happy to be there, in that pew, in our ward, on his mission.
Singing is a “Joyful noise unto the Lord,” but I just bet Heavenly Father takes a special delight in those darling people who can’t sing a note yet go ahead an let their voices be heard anyway. Here’s to the off-key singers. Bless them.
