Sept 10th -Sept 16th

Heber C Kimball,  President Brigham Young, Willard Richards
This week has been a great week. We were able to work both at the Mormon Trail Center and the Tabernacle.  Many interesting tours from people taking children to school to BYU or BYU - IDAHO. We had a couple of families who sold all their property and quit their jobs to move to Maine and Florida.  Some couples were traveling to do genealogy in the area. All great tours and all wonderful people.
First Presidency 1847
 Our Stake Conference had great talks and training. The visiting  area authority, talked about the Sabbath Day by reading “The Sabbath Is a Delight” by Elder Russell M. Nelson  (April 2015), Reading the Book of Mormon by reading “The Power of the Book of Mormon” by President Thomas S. Monson (April 2017), Simplify life, by reading “Be Anxiously Engaged” by Elder M. Russell Ballard (October 2012), and  Ministering by reading “Ministering” by President Russell M. Nelson (April 2018). Also finding God's Children through missionary work and following the direction of the Prophet will help us become closer to Christ and prepare for the Second Coming.
We are anxiously engaged in finding people in the Nebraska Omaha Mission, we hope you all are.

President Gordon B. Hinckley taught: “So many of us look upon missionary work as simply tracting. Everyone who is familiar with this work knows there is a better way. That way is through the members of the Church. Whenever there is a member who introduces [someone], there is an immediate support system. The member bears testimony of the truth of the work. He is anxious for the happiness of his … friend. He becomes excited as that friend makes progress in learning the gospel.
“The full-time missionaries may do the actual teaching, but the member, wherever possible, will back up that teaching with the offering of his home to carry on this missionary service. He will bear sincere testimony of the divinity of the work. He will be there to answer questions when the missionaries are not around. He will be a friend to the convert who is making a big and often difficult change. … The process of bringing new people into the Church is not the responsibility alone of the missionaries. They succeed best when members become the source from which new [people] are found” (“Find the Lambs, Feed the Sheep,” Ensign, May 1999, 105–6).Preach My Gospel of 161.


Help find people to teach and make referrals to the Full Time missionaries, or send your friend’s name to our Email and we will pass the referral along wherever they are. Or send to our Mormon.org accounts:  https://www.mormon.org/me/M8BC; or  https://www.mormon.org/me/KZW5. We will direct it to the missionaries.Thank you, you will be blessed.

We love the work and pray you will follow our Savior

Christmastime at Winter Quarters is exciting.  This has been a busy week with Zone Conference, Gingerbread, and many Sister Missionaries leaving the Trail Center for home, but a thought about Christmas shared at our Trail Center Training on Saturday morning we thought you would enjoy. Christmas is many things to many people — from the eager, materialistic grasping of a child for a present to the deep spiritual thankfulness of the mature heart for the gift of a Savior.  If there is one common denominator, perhaps it is this:  Christmas is love.  Christmas is the time when the bonds of family love transcend distance and inconvenience.  It is a time when love of neighbor rises above petty day-to-day irritations, and doors swing open to give and receive expressions of appreciation and affection. If to our Christmas gift list is added the gift of service — not only to friends and family, but also to those who badly need help — then our giving can be c...

Heber C Kimball, Brigham Young, Willard Richards, This week was spent working mostly at the Kainesville Tabernacle. The Tabernacle is the location in church History where on December 27, 1847.  Brigham Young was sustained by the members of the Church as President of the Church. with Heber C Kimball and Willard Richards sustained as his counselors.  It is one of those places not often visited by people on the Church History tours. Located in Council Bluffs, Iowa it is a peaceful and sacred place. In the Tabernacle is where Oliver Cowdery came back to the Church and was baptized in a creek in the area.  In our family history Mary Ann Huntsman was married to Thomas Green by Orson Hyde in the tabernacle on January 31 1849. It is such a wonderful place to work and to serve. Sister White teaching Omaha Spanish Ward at Tabernacle Teaching Spanish Ward, with a translator!

Windows Celestial Room facing Cemetery Another busy week here at Winter Quarters and some new things to experience. Tours are picking up with more people visiting both the Trail Center and the Tabernacle. Had tours in both places this week.  We had a great experience Tuesday night. We were invited to the Mission President's home to have dinner with the 11 new missionaries (8 Elders and 3 Sisters). They arrived Monday night and on Tuesday they had dinner and a Testimony Meeting, then they got their first assignment and who they will be training with.  We were invited because we just missed the last new missionary dinner. It was a very spiritual experience. Wednesday we were able to serve in the Temple when the departing Missionaries got to go before they went home the next day. Two great experiences.  Also learned this week that the Pioneer Cemetery is the only Cemetery dedicated as part of the Temple Grounds. President Hinckley included it in the dedication of th...
