Finding a place of retreat
I got up early this morning to drive the van key down to Robby Layton in Ephraim so he would be able to get the van off the mountain once he has guys available. Before I left I had a good prayer about establishing a place of retreat which I am calling our place of…

The voice of the Spirit
The Lord is offering to teach me 15 different ways. Everywhere I turn lately there is something that the Spirit is pointing out to me for further consideration. Laura asked me to pray about whether I should be the one leading the discussion we need to have with Enoch. I’m sure that the answer is…

A potential way to serve
Perhaps a YSA ward bishopric would be a way to serve that would help me feel like I am able to benefit younger people. (I have long hoped to serve as a mission president for this reason but I am looking to identify other ways to possibly scratch that itch because I don’t want to…
