* Christmas Wishes to our Missionaries 2017 *
I published a blog post a few weeks ago inviting our sisters and their families to send Christmas cards to the missionaries serving from our Stake. If you missed that here is the link to the blog post and a direct link to the address Google Doc. We do have one missionary who just recently left - Elder Campora - and I will be adding his address as soon as I can confirm it.

* Church History Fireside - “Church History, Doubt, and Discipleship” *
Sunday, November 19 @ 7:00 pm at the Stake Center
Brief Description
In the 21st century, it is easy to find sources that portray the Church’s history as secret, strange, or controversial. At the same time, the Church is publishing more historical sources and statements than ever before. Church History Library Director Keith Erekson will discuss skills and attributes than can help you make sense of Church history for yourself and be prepared to help others.
About the Speaker
Keith A. Erekson serves as the director of the Church History Library, the home of the Church’s most sacred historical treasures. He is an award-winning author and teacher as well as a popular speaker at BYU Education Week, youth conferences, and other LDS events. He grew up near Baltimore, Maryland, served a mission in Brazil, earned degrees in history and business, and worked in auto manufacturing, publishing, and higher education. He lives near Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife and four daughters and currently serves as his ward’s young men’s president.

Sister Cindy Erekson, our Stake RS President, will be one of the presenters at this event.
* Stake RS Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap *
