What we’re talking about

This Sunday, Holly Dorough will lead us in a discussion of President Nelson’s conference address, “Christ Is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains.”

“The Lord does not require perfect faith for us to have access to His perfect power. But He does ask us to believe.”


What we’re reading

This week our Come Follow Me reading is D&C 67-70, “Worth … the Riches of the Whole Earth.”

“Although many of the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants were addressed to specific people in specific circumstances, they “are profitable for all”… As you study, look for truths and principles that are profitable for you.”


Getting to know you… Susan Talbot

I, along with my husband Steve, moved to Springville from North Salt Lake. We lived there for five years. Before that we lived in Escondido which is in San Diego County for thirty-seven years. I was born in Santa Monica, CA and grew up in Pittsburg, Oregon and Murray, Utah. My husband grew up in Panguitch in southern Utah. We have five children and seventeen grandchildren.  Our children and their families live in Seattle, Mesa, Michigan, Bountiful and Mapleton (which is what brought us to Springville). We wish everyone lived closer but it is also fun to travel to visit everyone.  My husband and I love to camp and hike together.  Favorite destinations are Yellowstone and the Uintahs. I enjoy music, gardening, sewing, studying the scriptures, and keeping a journal of things that inspire me. This is one of my favorite quotes which has been really helpful to me in hard times: "I testify that in this and every hour [Christ] is, with nail-scarred hands, extending to us...grace, holding on to us and encouraging us, refusing to let us go until we are safely home in the embrace of Heavenly Parents." (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland)  So far I have loved living in Springville and look forward to getting to know all of you in my new ward.


Happy Birthday to you

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
