But perhaps even more important than speaking is listening. These people are not lifeless objects disguised as a baptismal statistic. They are children of God, our brothers and sisters, and they need what we have. Be genuine. Reach out sincerely. Ask these friends what matters most to them. What do they cherish, and what do they hold dear? And then listen. If the setting is right you might ask what their fears are, what they yearn for, or what they feel is missing in their lives. I promise you that something in what they say will always highlight a truth of the gospel about which you can bear testimony and about which you can then offer more. - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland - “Witnesses unto Me“

I believe the Savior Jesus Christ would want you to see, feel, and know that He is your strength. That with His help, there are no limits to what you can accomplish. That your potential is limitless. He would want you to see yourself the way He sees you. And that is very different from the way the world sees you. - Anonymous, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf - Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

Have a wonderful Sabbath. I pray that today will be a day filled with charity, and day where your heart is filled with a willingness to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. A day where you seek the "one", perhaps a friend, stranger, family member or even yourself.

I invite each of us to reach out sometime this week with one of our assigned missionary families. Let them know that they are loved by our Savior and their Heavenly Father.

Perhaps pre-invite them to our dinner on Valentines day. Give them the date let them get it on their calendar now! More details will be coming soon.

I witness to each of you that the Lord does live. Jesus is the Christ, the great I AM. This is His church. It is directed by a prophet of God, Dallin H. Oaks. The Lords second coming is drawing very very near.

I express my love to each of you and pronounce a blessing of peace, happiness and love this coming week as you make efforts to help find the “one”. Especially if that "one" is yourself.

In the name of Jesus, Christ, Amen

Love you each
