Faithful Friends

One of the great tributes the Savior can give is to call us “friends.” We know that He loves with a perfect love all of His Heavenly Father’s children. Yet for those who have been faithful in their service with Him, He reserves this special title. You remember the words from the 84th section of the Doctrine and Covenants: “And again I say unto you, my friends, for from henceforth I shall call you friends, it is expedient that I give unto you this commandment, that ye become even as my friends in days when I was with them, traveling to preach the gospel in my power” (D&C 84:77). We become His friends as we serve others for Him. He is the perfect example of the kind of friend we are to become. He wants only what is best for His Heavenly Father’s children. Their happiness is His happiness. He feels their sorrow as His own because He has paid the price of all their sins, taken upon Himself all their infirmities, borne all their troubles, and felt all their longings. His motives are pure. He seeks no recognition for Himself but to give all glory to His Heavenly Father. The perfect friend, Jesus Christ, is completely selfless in offering happiness to others Pres.

Church Tomorrow! =)

Brothers & Sisters,

I just got off the phone with President Petersen and GREAT NEWS!!! We will be able to meet in our building this Sunday as an entire ward with a regular 3 hour block schedule. The cultural hall will be available for our use so we can all fit into one sacrament meeting. (I had considered dividing us in half and doing two – glad that option is not necessary!)

We will have to work around not having the two class rooms under repair in the north foyer. (One of the Nursery classes – I can’t remember who is in the other for Sunday school – It is Deacons for the third hour) The back portion of the cultural hall will have equipment and tables stored.

The plan is to turn off the fans at 7 am Sunday morning and after our meetings are concluded they will restart to finish the drying out process to save the floor. (They believe that they will be able to save the floor)I appreciate everyone’s patience as we have worked through and continue to work through this inconvenience.

Thanks for all you do,
Bishop Liddell
