February 2011

Presidency Message:

Today is the last day of 2010. Today I attended the temple and as I drove up the road to the Sacramento temple, I reflected on what a miracle it is to have a temple so close to us! I grew up in Sacramento, only about fifteen minutes from where the temple is, and as a youth I never dreamed of having a temple in Sacramento. About three years ago I attended a singles conference and was challenged to "step-up your temple attendance." Each year since that time I have tried to go more than the year before. And so for the year 2011, I challenge each sister in the El Dorado Ward to "step-up your temple attendance." If you do so I promise that you will enjoy a better relationship with your Heavenly Father and feel the presence of the Holy Ghost more in your life. Also you can feel a great peace of mind when your family has been sealed together and you know that that family unit can not be broken by death. It is my hope that for this new year each of you may rejoice in the blessings of the temple.
