Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
New calling! I’m serving in the Stake YW as first counselor. To be honest, I’d be a lot more comfortable in the Stake YM (because of my four sons), but I’ll do my best to get used to it. I anticipate lots of upcoming projects relating to Girl’s Camp and youth dances… For now, I […]
I always think it’s helpful to read what others are doing for their Primary Program.

Sending letters/packages to missionaries serving in the field is a common service activity. As a returned missionary myself, I can tell you that mail is a vital part of a missionary’s life. What seems like a simple letter to us is a big deal to a missi…
Kurt Francom has spent years researching and interviewing Mormons about their experiences leading at church and then packaging it all into easy-to-digest podcasts and classes over at Leading LDS.com. It’s a unique resource for members seeking to serve more effectively. Late in December Kurt interviewed me about my years as a Primary leader–my first podcast! […]
Some years ago I was out at our mailbox when my neighbor and friend came to see what was in his box. We struck up a conversation and it turned to family. He asked me for some advice on families an…
