And Elder Zuniga has a new companion; Elder Nordstrom from Florida!!
Our talks they were given by Annie and Jake Green.
Annie chose the conference talk by Elder Jeffrey R Holland "Tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you." Talk is found in it's entirety in the May issue of the Ensign on page 124. She told us that the picture he showed of the dinosaur represents tomorrow and the children that are running from him are us!!
She Also quoted Elder Holland saying "the first great truth in all eternity is that God loves US with all HIS heart might mind and soul." He will never desert us. And from Romans 8:28 "all things work together for those who love God."
Jake informed us that the leading cause of death in Utah is suicide in our youth ages 11 to 17 and the number has tripled since 2007! But he is convinced that our youth Can have peace (he referred us to John 16:33 where it says "in me ye might have peace") and that they can do hard things.
He then talked about Bishop W Christopher Waddell's remarks taken from"A Pattern for Peace" on page 90 of the conference talks; May issue.
In our search for peace and amidst the daily challenges of life we've been given a simple pattern to keep our thoughts focused on the Savior who said "learn of me and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my spirit and you shall have peace in me. I am Jesus Christ."
Benediction was offered by Paul Gavin.
