Thank your sons again for their help yesterday!

We had a great turnout for helping rake the leaves at the Holmquists (see pics attached). 

For those of you that are not aware, Lenny had a hip replacement some weeks ago and is recovering from that. Both Lenny and Marilyn were very appreciative of what our efforts yesterday.

What impressed me as much as the sheer number of young men that showed up was the fact that many could not make it due to holiday and/other other commitments and they called to alert us that they could not be there. The Priesthood accountability I see from these young makes my heart glad, and I very much appreciate the chance I get to work with them firsthand and see their growth into adulthood. They don't take their responsibilities lightly, and to see that growth makes my heart glad.

Below, please see the remaining 2014 activities we have in the queue.

Young Men activities for the remainder of the year

Hi everyone!

We are entering a busy time of year for us all, so now is a good time to tell you what we have in front of us activity-wise.

These activities may change based on variables that are always in motion, but we are pretty sure this is what the rest of the year looks like.

Thanks again for all of your support this previous year. We love the young people in our ward, and I believe I speak for all youth leaders when I say we are very blessed by being associated with them and working with them on a weekly basis.

URGENT: Young Men activity this week

Just a reminder there is no young men's activity tonight.

Instead of meeting tonight, the young men and young women will meet at the Church this Friday afternoon at 4:15. We will be leaving to go to the temple.

Following our temple work, we will eat at the temple and hear from a member of the Temple Presidency.

The boys should arrive home around 7:30-8:00.

Thanks!
