Weekly Update May 9

Leadership Message

Brothers and Sisters,

 

I am grateful that we have been able to go back to more normal things, including meeting together last week. I not only felt the spirit because of the lesson, but also because we were able to meet in person with one another and learn the gospel together. We were able to "meet together… to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of [our] souls… after the manner of the working of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost" (Moroni 6:5, 9). Truly, this was a blessing and miracle provided to us by the Lord.

 

I personally want to wish all of the sisters in the ward a Happy Mother's Day. I hope you know how important our sisters are to our ward. You uplift, serve, love, and provide true examples of righteousness that we all can learn from. President Nelson has taught, "It would be impossible to measure the influence that… women have, not only on families but also on the Lord's Church, as wives, mothers, and grandmothers; as sisters and aunts; as teachers and leaders; and especially as exemplars and devout defenders of the faith."

 

Each of you Sisters play an important role in the gathering of Israel and preparing the way for the Second Coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. Continue pressing forward and continue to make a difference (even if you don't think you do - you do make a difference).

 

Brethren, I encourage you to honor your mothers, sisters and other women in your life. Bless them, pray for them, serve them, and follow their examples.

 

I love each of you. Thank you for your faithfulness.

 

Bishop Cox
