Remember, Remember

Cameron & Treyson –

It was such a joy to see the two of you at church today—ties around your necks, smiles on your faces, and the Spirit of the Lord burning in your hearts!

We are so excited for this new challenge that you two have accepted to read the Book of Mormon with us over the next 60 days.

In order to help you both achieve this goal, we set up a Blog at the following location:

The 5th Chapter of the Book of Helaman relates an inspiring story of two brothers who decided to quit their jobs and leave everything behind in order to preach the word of God. They remembered the things their father taught them and they became powerful missionaries, convincing thousands of people to repent and come unto Christ.

We know that as you fulfill this challenge to read the Book of Mormon over the next 60 days, that you will also be blessed to remember.

You will be blessed to remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that you must build your foundation;

You will be blessed to remember the many miracles that the Lord performs for his covenant people;

You will be blessed to remember your own personal covenants to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things and in all places;

You will be blessed to remember your powerful, faith-building experiences as Aaronic Priesthood holders in the Innsbrook Ward;

And finally, through such profound remembrance, you will be blessed to experience the joy it is to serve the Lord with all your heart, might, mind, and strength as Elders and missionaries in Zion.

It is our hope and prayer that you two will draw inspiration from those two brothers in Helaman 5, and that you will also decide to quit your jobs and leave everything behind in order to preach the word of God. We have faith, and we expect that the next time we come to visit the Innsbrook Ward we will see the names of Cameron Mitchell and Treyson Burke on the back of that program.

May we all be blessed as we continue to lose ourselves in the service of the Lord.

We love you,

Brother McKeon, Brother Whiteley, Brother Holdaway
