Have you saved the date? Save April 27, 2024 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm


This past year, we had a lot going on.  We were released as Area Advisers after seven years and gladly would have done it 10 more.  Karen survived 6 surgeries on her hip, I survived two cruises with her :) - one to Alaska and the other to the Caribbean.  It was difficult with her walker, but she was a trooper.  A surgeon sewed her leg on crooked, gave her a spiral fracture of the femur, repaired it and sewed it on crooked again. She was in a wheel chair for 5 months, one used too much cement fixing the ensuing spiral fracture of her femur and it wouldn’t heal, then a physical therapist lifted her leg to high and broke off her greater trochanter.  She had six transfusions, a couple of quick visits to the hereafter for more instruction and through all of this adversity, she actually kept smiling and knowing Heavenly Father would heal her. Thank heavens she is still with us.  While on one cruise, we got word that we lost her 99 year old mother after a long battle with macular degeneration.  We were going to leave the cruise early but her brother told us to stay.  When we did finally leave, we got home and thought we should take a Covid test.  It was not the  best week of our lives but Heavenly Father healed us and we started working on our Stake Family History and Genealogy Fair.

We were wrong!


We’re excited to be a part of another Family History Fair for you and your friends to learn more about your ancestors. If you happen to be near Scottsdale, AZ this weekend, April 27, 2024 we would love to see you at our free community event.


We recently told you that Genealogy was the third most popular hobby in the world. We were wrong. Actually, it’s more exciting than that!


Did you know that Genealogy is the second most popular hobby in the world?  Familysearch.org will give a free access to build a  as it has 13.9 million users, there’s always room for a few more!   They get 7 million page views daily.


This ticket can be given via text and email and a whole family can gain entry to a new world of discovery.  


Help them by sending them a VIP ticket and they can show their phone at the door.


At Grandma’s Cookies table we will be collecting names and emails to send out an ebook of recipes. Ward members please bring a plate of cookies of a favorite family recipe (Bring on a card or paper). If you want to include a cute quote or anecdote from that person it will be in the book as well. Bring cookies, bring or  email the recipe to the event and we will create an extraordinarily creative cookie-cookbook !


It has been exciting to touch so many lives with these fairs. The Mission Presidents love it and we give the Missionaries 200 VIP FREE tickets to give out. We also encourage them to bring people being taught to the Stake Center during the week so that we can help them find names.


It is true - what Elder David A. Bednar asked us to do in 2020 we have been encouraging others to do the same. He said “Every new member should be prepared to go to the Temple within 60 days of baptism with their own names.” We have truly seen miracles happen when they are prepared. They stay active for a whole year going to the Temple with the names we found before baptism. The consultant becomes their best friend in the ward and goes with them. If you would like to know more, please email us and ask about the Sample Stake Family History Plan we did.
