The bishop loves you I testify of that. I have had the pleasure of serving on Bishoprics with three different Bishops - and several more in various other Ward and Stake callings. One attribute that every single Bishop has, without exception and with abundance, is a love for their ward members. They are all deeply concerned for the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of every member of their ward and anybody else that they are in a position to offer assistance to. This love is what causes our Bishop sleepless nights as he empathises with members who are suffering. He grieves when our brothers and sisters depart from the comfort and protection, and importantly the spirit, that church and the gospel provides. He wants nothing more than to help guide us all safely to be with our Heavenly Father once again - having fulfilled what is necessary in this life. As Bishop Maizey opened up to us in a recent meeting about his concerns for some members of our ward I was touched by the spirit that testified to me of his love and sincere concern for us all. May we all strive to have this same pure love of Christ our Bishop exemplifies. May we go that extra mile to help our brothers and sisters in their times of need and do our little part to ease the burden from our Bishop. May we continually have the Bishop in our prayers for all he does and sacrifices. In Jesus name, Amen. Brother Stefan Liassides 1st Cllr Bishopric
Primary
As the world constantly changes around us, I am grateful that we had the theme of Choose the Right this year. It is ever important for us to be learning all the time but to learn to discern for ourselves how to interpret and act upon the world around us: at school, at work, at church, and mostly at home. I am so pleased with the Primary and their presentation that they gave on all the things they learned this year. In the New Year we will turn our focus to teaching the children that we are all children of our Heavenly Father. We are created in His image, and our purpose and potential is great because we are His children. November is always a month of reflection for me and I am grateful to know that I am a child of God and that He loves me and you and has great plans for us all. Jill Spencer Primary President
