Light Your Lamp

Our two organizers serving a lovely breakfast which
everyone seemed to enjoy. 




























Members also brought donations to help a family in need.

After breakfast the ward dispersed for a day of loving service. . .
















































A tree was planted at the church to serve as a
reminder of our day of service.



When members finished serving they brought their lamp and added it to the day of service tree.



A big thank you all who served on Saturday as well as before and after the event!
Thank you to Bishop Sheffield for sharing his photos and if anyone has more photos of their service they would like to share please email a member of the RS presidency.

From the Walker's Missionary Blog

I just wanted to share this sweet reminder of true romance from President and Sister Walker's Missionary blog.

"Today during the royal ceremony, the Arch Bishop of London made the statement, "Every wedding is a royal wedding." I thought of my own parents.....Today is the 74th anniversary of their wedding. (thoughtful of Will and Kate to pick this date in their honor.)



The royal wedding is a national holiday. Communities are having neighborhood parties. There will be 3 big formal parties that the couple will attend, 22 caterers, mulititudes of dignitaries, and international coverage all at a cost of £20 million.


I can't help but contrast this with that wedding 74 years ago. On April 29, 1937 my royal couple went to the temple and there, in a quiet, unassuming, unnoteworthy event, they were married. No money, no reception, a borrowed dress and a quick honeymoon to Zion National Park! But what a life!!! More than any royal couple will ever know! "

President & Sister Walker

The Deseret News published an article about the 14 MTC's around the world in today's paper.  On the second page of the article (which you can find at this link) President and Sister Walker are quoted about their MTC in Preston, England, where they are currently serving.  If you haven't been following the Walker's wonderful experiences at the MTC, I suggest you have a look at their blog:  Postcards from Preston.  It is a very uplifting read!
