I haven't heard back from any of you as to whether or not you are coming to the devotional tonight (Sunday). President Pinegar, our temple president, has arranged for Julie Beck, general church Relief Society President, to speak to the temple workers and their families at a devotional at 7 p.m. at the Manti Stake Center (the red building on Main Street). He is having the devotional at the church rather than at the temple so more family members can attend.

Yes, thanks for the invite.

We had a fireside to launch our Duty to God mission last night. Dane and I are assigned as companions for five weeks, where we have to work on scripture study, prayer, a Duty to God requirement, missionary work, and service together, until we have our close with a Duty to God Encampment in August. Of course, Dane will be at the Jamboree for 15 of those days. We had a similar thing last year, but this year we are looking forward to receiving the new booklets. A neighbor of mine works at the Church Printing Office, and said they are trying to amass a large number of them so that they can send them out all at once (at least that is how I thought I understood his explanation).

I thought it was interesting that even though it was an anniversary of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith yesterday, right on Sunday, that nobody mentioned it. But then Kimberly and I are in primary, so maybe they did in one of the other meetings. Of course, we don’t like to remember deaths as much as other events, especially if it could stir negative emotions, so perhaps it is better to recall events such as the restoration of the Priesthood, rather than the sealing of testimonies in death.

We had Stake Priesthood meeting tonight. Michael was speaking, so we went there instead. Thanks for the invite.
