We had the missionaries over last night and they shared an amazing story from the May 1988 Ensign.  Below is a story given by Elder John R Lasater: Some years ago, it was my privilege to visit the country of Morocco as part of an official United States government delegation.

For those of you who are interested in statistics, I thought this was intersting.  It’s found on the LDS Newsroom website.  I shows stats on how many members the church has, how many missionaries, how many members in each country, how many countries we’re doing humanitarian aid for, etc.  Here’s the site: http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/statistical-information

Those of us in the Northwest get the benefit of some very beautiful days, and yesterday was one of them.  There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun reflected off the crystals in the 10 degree weather.  My wife (Becca), my friend Jeremy, and I decided we would go skiing and it was [...]
