June Presidency Message

Sisters, as a presidency we want to share our love with you. You are our minds constantly and in our prayers! We appreciate your goodness and are blessed to serve with you. We want to thank all those who have helped recently with compassionate service.

One of our focuses this year is to 'increase in faith and personal righteousness.' So how do we increase our faith? Of course...pray, read scriptures, and go to church are still the correct answers. However, to experience or gain something we never had before we must do something we've never done. Once the basics have become foundational, find a commandment or standard that you would like to improve on or a part of your testimony you would like stronger.

With faith, pray sincerely expressing desire to improve. Then live that principle more completely, proving to the Lord you are willing to do your part. Then you will see for yourself the truthfulness of that principle, you will see God's hand in your life and you will find answers, confirmation and strength to continue to live more diligently.

In James Chapter 2:17 we read that without works is dead. Occasionally I find myself just going through the motions...but I know that my faith is never at a stand still. It requires constant nourishment to grow! As we increase our faith so will our desire to improve our personal righteousness.

As we come closer to the Savior by increasing our faith we will also desire to be more like Him! May we recognize that the fruit of living the gospel is always the most delicious! May we have faith and strength to be like our Savior.
