1.7.13

Well the first week of the year is come and gone. Something I have come to know very well over time is the power and importance of momentum. It affects the power at which you can move forward. It sets the trend for how everything else will turn out. Well we had a great week and the trend is set.

We have really refocused on our goal to strengthen the individual members of the branch. We want to help everybody to know how to feast on the scriptures in order to receive revelation. We want to help people become spiritually self-sufficient (besides the whole relying on God part). Also President Morgenegg wants us to be visiting everybody weekly to be able to do that. We made a pretty good stride in reaching that mark this last week. There is still much more to do, but the momentum is going the right direction.

This weekend we have a special opportunity. Elder Ballard of the 12 Apostles will be here along with Elder Callister and Bishop Davies. Meetings like these are always great and will certainly give a big spiritual boost.

Glad to hear that things are going well!

Have a great week!

Love

Elder Phong Manhardt
