THANKSGIVING DANCE SET

Trevor is a DJ and he is going to put on a Thanksgiving dance the day after at the Chandler Alma Stake Center. He wants to fill the coffers before he leaves for his mission.

GuideWork never stops. While w e were doing Trevor's Initiatory who should come by but President Wade. We talked about a permanent home for the Mission until we were almost late for the lecture! He suggested I concentrate on the Interstake Center.

Then, after we were all done, since it w as Trevor's birthday and Trent Allen's too, we were met in the foyer of the temple by a whole group of Guides and Ammonites. We chatted there and on the steps of the temple for 30 minutes. Then, who should come out of the temple but Trevan Householder and Jared Dorney. Dorney is very wise. I told  him that next month was Visiting General Authority Month for the Tempe Mission and he suggested that I allow him to get together a bunch of the returned Guides to take over the Center for an evening while the visiting GA put on a special meeting for the Guides. Not just anyone can work on a Christmas night in December. It should be an exciting time f or all. Can you imagine a GENERAL AUTHORITY coming just to see us??? Remember, I promised  that day would come, one night a the Solomon building. I keep my promises.

Dorney has become an instant friend and I appreciate him so much. He spent 20 minutes on the Commitment Pattern for the Ammonites last Sunday and then when Brother Bowden got mad because he thought we weren't going to let him speak and went home, Jared took his place and bore a beautiful testimony. We had sung Christmas carols earlier and it w as a good meeting.
