Jacob and the other young men in our ward got to go on a campout this week to Martin’s Cove. I am so grateful he was able to have this experience. They hiked Independence Rock and were able to push handcarts around Martin’s Cove. It was a great way to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of …
Elder Dale G. Renlund’s messages always seem to hit home for me and this last General Conference was no exception.
