Searching For Our Ancestors

The Church and our Stake are focusing on members searching for their ancestors.  The Church has made the search easier.  Look on the website for FamilySearch.org (not family history, the name has changed).

We should be working individually and together as a family for our ancestors.  We can gain the spirit of Elijah with our efforts.

Involve the youth.  It will help convert them to the gospel, strengthen the family, and increase missionary work.  Elder David A. Bednar's talk in the October 2011 General Conference (published in the November 2011 Ensign- The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn) was directed toward the youth.

Encourage other adults to become involved.  Increased temple attendance  will result.

If needed, contact Sister Karen Eicholtz for help- 682-2557.

Missionary Needs

Dear Sisters, 

As you know The Lord is hastening his work! We are feeling the affects in our mission. We will have 250 missionaries by the end of this summer. This means we could be opening up to 25 areas, for which we will need additional housing.

The housing coordinator has given me this list of items we need In setting up new apartments. We would appreciate your help in asking members if they have any of these items, they would be willing to donate. To contribute items to the Az. Tucson  Mission, please call Elder or Sister Perkins at 520-256-4036.

Of course our first preference would be for members to open their homes as consecrated housing. We hear stories all the time of how the missionaries have blessed homes with their presence. If anyone in your stake has a desire to house missionaries, please have them contact your stake president. He can give them more information.

Sisters, President Killpack and I would like you to know how much we appreciate all your support.  Our missionaries as well as ourselves have been blessed due to your kindness.

Needed items for Missionary Housing:

New or gently used

Twin bed, Mattresses and Box springs

Chest of drawers or dressers

Love Seats or overstuffed Chairs

Chairs- dining or desk

Dining tables

Small Desks

Used vacuums that work

Silverware especially knives and forks

Irons

Toasters

Blenders

Pots and pans

Dishes

 

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Sister Bobbie Killpack

Arizona Tucson Mission
