Two Thousand Eleven

Eleven years ago everyone was scared for Y2K. The Mayan Calendar stops after 2012. Some Non-Denominational Christian Church believes May 21, 2011 will be the end of the world. Have times turned crazy or what? I'm really excited for this new year even though it is ALREADY flying by super fast, so many great things to come.

We had a really good Ward Conference today about our new Stake Theme for the year: coming closer to Christ through following the counsel of the prophets. From Adam and Eve until now, everyone living on the earth has always had the opportunity to have a relationship with our Father in Heaven and draw closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ. It's simply amazing how Heavenly Father has a plan for every single one of us and He wants us all to return and live with him again and have ALL that He has.

We have a living Prophet today! How amazing is that? It just makes me simply smile to think about how much He loves us...we all make goals and resolutions and we get through maybe Feb, March-July if we are amazing and they tend to fade away and become the next year's project again..BUT look, Heavenly Father has always said he would bless us and give us Prophets from the beginning of time and He has never not kept His word.

Simply Amazing.

I know we all have the desire to do the Lord's Will and as we read, listen, and follow the counsel of our living prophets, we will never have to worry about Y2K, the end of the Mayan Calendar or May 21, 2011..."if we are prepared we shall not fear." Heavenly Father wants us to be happy and know He is there during the hard times and we can learn how through His prophets and apostles.

I hope you all have a great year and will think about how a living prophet on the earth is a blessing to you and how we can do better at following the prophets this year.
