He also received his Duty to God award. This award was designed to instill good habits and work ethics in young men.
Dawnie Baxter was our youth speaker today! She told us how they received her mission call and that she felt like Moses. When Moses was told to deliver the Israelites from bondage he said to the Lord "they're not going to believe me. The Lord tells Moses "I will be there with you. I am God I can do anything. I will teach you what you must do."
Dean Baxter's topic was "Choose the harder right rather than the easy wrong." He told us he had made two good decisions in his life the first was to follow the Lord; the second one was to marry Dawnie and follow her counsel.
He then told us about Jonah. How he had been sleeping one night but was awakened by the Lord and told to go to Nineveh and preach the gospel. He had protested because he said the people of Nineveh were wicked then he ran away and got on a ship. There was a big storm and Jonah was thrown off by the sailors and swallowed by a whale. He was in the whales belly for three days and then was expelled on a beach. He went to Nineveh and preached the Gospel to the people and after 40 days every person in the Nineveh repented and the city was saved from destruction. We need to build up our faith do the little things; if we choose Christ we will have made the right choice.
SPECIAL MUSICAL NUMBER: Erika Wright,
daughter of Alliyson and Brad, sang "My Heavenly Father Loves Me."
High Councilman Brad Hannig also spoke on "Choices." He said we need to develop faith that will sustain us and bolster our decisions to do right; that we are to let virtue garnish our thoughts unceasingly. The Lord needs disciples that hunger and thirst after righteousness; honor the Sabbath day and follow the impressions of the Holy Ghost.
BENEDICTION: Nels Davidson
