“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 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... Administrator 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.

Father and Son Campout
From Fallbrook take Hwy 76 east to Hwy 79. Turn right, going south toward Julian. At the 78/79 intersection in Santa Ysabel turn left, going east toward Julian. At Wynola start looking for the sign for William Heise Park (1 mile west of Julian). Turn right on Pine Hill Road and drive south for 2 miles to Frisius Road. Turn left (east) onto Frisius Road and drive for another 2 miles to the park entrance.
We will be in Group Camp #2 (same place as the last two years), which is all the way at the east end of the campground. The campsite is on a knoll. Look for a blue Toyota Tundra with a shell. I will be there around 5pm to start dinner preparation. There will be a campfire as well as an evening program. Please share this with all of your home teaching families.

Primary
Our theme this month is: Heavenly Father planned for me to come to a family. I can strengthen my family now. We will talking about families in the scriptures, scripture study, FHE, family prayer, the priesthood and how each family member has a divine role.
A member of the Bishopric comes in the first Sunday of the month and introduces the theme. This gives the children a chance to get to know them and for the Bishopric to see what great children we have in primary!
I hope you have all had a chance to see the notice in the bulletin about the primary is collecting crayons, markers, drawing tablets, colored pencils, stickers that each of the primaries in the Stake are collecting for the Stake Activity Day Girls Service project which will take place in the near future. The girls will put together activity kits for children who are in shelters. You can give your things to one of the primary presidencies. We appreciate your donations.
Please encourage your children to continue to work on their Faith in God books. They get these booklets when they're 8, after they are baptized, and will work on it until they turn 12. It is a great way for them to begin to build their testimonies and have opportunities to serve.
Thank you again for your support and for your precious children. We are strengthened by them each week.
Big thank you to our teachers--
Love,
The Primary Presidency
P.S. There will be a Primary Activity for girls ages 8-11, 7:00-8:00 PM; meet in the foyer by the bishop’s office!

MISSIONARY WORK
Missionary Thought
I read a cute article the other day about the perception that Latter-day Saints are friendly only to advance their missionary agenda. Perhaps we can grow by considering the following excerpt:
“I wish that instead of teaching every member a missionary that we taught every member a friend. A friend invites to include others and makes them feel welcome. A friend respects beliefs. A friend is interested in their friend’s belief system rather than just wanting to teach their own agenda.”
I like this! Without belaboring the idea, I think we can share the light we have found without making people feel like that is the only reason that we are interested in them. That, perhaps, would be acting with real Christ-like love.
Our current missionaries, Elder Puett and Elder Mitton, are working hard and appreciate your daily prayers and constant support.
