The Bishop's Message

Hello Again!
Here is a sweet book put together by Grandpa while he was Bishop. You can buy a hard copy of the book, or download from Scribd for free to print yourself...

"It is my hope and desire that my posterity will cherish these precious truths and mould them into their characters for good.

The fact that good ideas and thoughts may have belonged to someone else does not lesson their value. If they are good they are good they should be used many times until we get possession of them.

Sincerely, NAS"

Starting Thursday July 22nd, our reunion will begin! This is the family temple night... so get your family names and go to your favorite temple together!!!

So, pack your bags! Are you coming?
Please RSVP to Linda: cdelosmom@yahoo.com so we can plan for games and activities for the kids and food for us all!
For example, if my daughter Emily were to RSVP, she would let me know that her and her husband and their 3 children ages 9, 7, and 4 ARE coming.

We can't wait for us all to get together!

When you RSVP to Linda, we can get you a more detailed schedule!

Check out this awesome cookbook! Many thanks to Lisa Casper (Carolee's daughter), Lori and Jodee (Gordon's daughters), and Cherry (Linda's Daughter) for putting it together. It will be available to purchase at the family reunion. Otherwise you can view it online, or print off a pdf copy for free!

P.S. Here is another word of advice from Grandpa!!!!


GET THEE UP

An explorer was once traveling through a cold Arctic winter night. He was not particularly uncomfortable, but as he proceeded he felt a sluggish, drowsy feeling coming over him. He decided to lie down and rest. Then all of a sudden he realized he was freezing to death. The thought so startled him that he got up and began to run with all his might. The excitement and vigorous exertion quickened the heart action, and he soon had a good supply of warm blood circulating through his body. Then the danger was past. His life had been saved because he "gat up" and increased his activity.

This experience has its counterpart in our spiritual affairs. It is the inspired formula of Isaiah, "Get thee up — be illuminated." Be active. Use your talents to the utmost.
