Leadership Message
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It is sad to see and hear about all the fires that have swept through the Western United States. I am grateful for all the brave firefighters risking their lives to help contain all these fires. The Northern America Wildfire season has seen more fires this year than any other recordable year. I look forward to the time when we can breathe fresh air instead of the smoke. How is the spiritual air we
are breathing? Are we constantly putting out spiritual fires? Lehi saw a vision of the Tree of Life, which is a representation of our times. In the Tree of Life allegory, there is a “mist of darkness” around us which represents temptation. To avoid the temptation and all the smoke around us we are to “hold to the rod” to make it to the Tree of Life. We have a wonderful opportunity to “hold to the rod” by listening and watching General Conference. It is coming up Oct 2-3rd. By listening and applying Prophets’ and Apostles’ teachings we are holding to the rod. It will help us with whatever temptation is present to each individual. Listening to and watching General Conference will help us breathe spiritual clean air and help put out spiritual fires in our lives.
