July Presidency Message

As I was thinking about what to say this month one thing kept popping into my mind: temples. I’ve been going to the temple since I was twelve years old. The first time I went I was so scared, everyone else was older and bigger and more experienced than I was. Many questions ran through my mind. What if I forgot my recommend or didn’t do something right or went somewhere where I wasn’t supposed to be? But when I went that first time, I felt at ease, I felt safe.

Over the years there have been times when I’ve tried to make excuses not to go to the temple. But I’ve never regretted going, and I’ve always tried to go as much as I can. Every time I step through the temple doors a peace comes over me. In John 14:27 it says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” This is what I feel when I go to the temple.

The temple is the House of the Lord. On every temple you can read, “Holiness to the Lord the House of the Lord”. I truly feel that it is the House of the Lord.

I love the temple and everything about it. I am my happiest when I go often. The Spirit is so strong and powerful. The most amazing thing about the Spirit is it’s the same Spirit you feel everywhere. It’s the same as when I’m partaking of the sacrament or getting a father’s blessing.

I know the temple is the House of the Lord, and I know that it is important. I am grateful to be able to go and experience and learn the things that I do. It is such a blessing in my life. I hope we can all go to the temple often and enjoy the blessings that are there.

Love Alaina

Hiking – Summer 2010

I am so glad that you would like to join me in hiking this summer. I have done a lot of hikes in Waterton/Glacier, but I am not familiar with what is available for hiking nearer to Calgary. This will be an adventure, as we experience these areas for the first time. If you have hiked any of these hikes before, please let me know, because it is always nice to have someone with a knowledge of the hike to “take the lead”.

There will be no sign-up, just come if you are able. Bring your hiking gear and a lunch. We will depart from Sundance Chapel each Thursday morning, at 8:00 am sharp. Please be there by 7:45 so we can arrange car pools and be gone by 8:00. Be prompt so you will not be left behind. We will not hike if the weather is not cooperating. I will notify you by email if there are any changes to the itinerary.

If you are not sure what to bring with you, or need more information, please contact Donna Craig at dscraig@shaw.ca
