North Stake Conference

It was Stake Conference this week. The message of the adult session could be summed up in this quote by Elder Bednar:

"Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results." —Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

We had Area Seventy Michael Southward visit. He is from Oklahoma and joked that he talked like Dr. Phil, and it was true.

President Ferguson was released as a councilor in the Stake Presidency and Bro. Somerville (also a Seminary teacher) was called to be his replacement. Pres Ferguson was moving due to a job change.

A key message from the Sunday session was:

• Faith is power 
• Faith motivates action to achieve righteous desires in spite of fear
• Faith is fueled by obedience

At the moment we are exercising faith that Haley should be in SLC.

Ether 12:
6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
