Elder Perry

We had the great opportunity to hear from Elder L. Tom Perry in our Sacrament meeting today
*he encouraged us to learn our of our 13 articles of faith and the principles behind them --
*by leaning & sharing the articles of faith we'll be able to share "WHO WE ARE" with the world. *He asked us if we realized how much others are wanting to know "who we (the Mormons) are --as we are more exposed to the media.
*He told how he is on the public affairs commitee for the church and how interest has peeked about our religion.
*He told how the Lord wants us to quit hiding our knowledge of the gospel under a bush and speak up.
* Bore a strong testimony of the restoration of this the true church and the great part we have as members in these latter days
* he bore testimony of the Savior and his atonement
* he said he enjoyed hearing babies in the ward cry--that means were growing as a church and not dead and dying.
* he had us all listening
*before the meeting - he met with our stake pres and councilors and wives briefly in the hallway by the stake offices and shook our hands,,and had a short visit before following the Pres into the meeting.
* such a gracious and wonderful man...we enjoyed his good company
