SPRING

ARRIVALS

HERE THEY COME!

ANOTHER FAMILY VISIT

This is a special historical week. On April 6, 1830 (183 years ago) the church was organized with about 50 people. Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God and restored the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the earth today. He also brought forth the Book of Mormon which testifies of Jesus Christ.

EASTER

"The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven, and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it".

Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pg 121

LOVEBUGS IN FLORIDA

Lovebugs are small black flies with a red thorax that have been invading our lives in April-May and August-September. They are considered a nuisance mainly because they congregate in large numbers along highways and splatter on windshields and grills of our cars.

Thank you Ward Relief Society Sisters!

President Thomas S. Monson

"Where once the standards of the Church and the standards of

society were mostly compatible, now there is a wide chasm

between us, and it's growing ever wider. . . .

"The Savior of mankind described Himself as being in the world but not of the world. We also can be in the world but not of the world as we reject false concepts and false teachings and remain true to that which God has commanded."

"The gospel of Jesus Christ encompasses much more than avoiding, overcoming, and being cleansed from sin and the bad influences in our lives; it also essentially entails doing good, being good, and becoming better".

~Elder David A. Bednar

Dinner at the mission home

First, He gave us the perfect model - Himself - after which we are to pattern our lives. He said, "Greater love hath no man than this - than a man lay down his life for his friends." We need to reach out as never before and extend the hand of fellowship to our brothers and sisters who need the light of the gospel.

Ture love must be expressed in unselfish acts of kindness that bring others closer to our Heavenly Father.

The priesthood represents a mighty army of righteousness--even a royal army. We are led by a prophet of God. In supreme command is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our marching orders are clear. They are concise. Matthew describes our challenge in these words from the Master: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19) ~President Monson

FLORIDA ORLANDO MISSION HISTORY

Florida has a deep Mormon heritage, going back as far as 1843. Traveling elders were occasionally sent into Florida until the Florida conference was officially organized November 1, 1895, which conference was within the Southern States Mission. In 1937, the first chapel in central Florida was built in Orlando. In 1950, the church established what is now officially called Deseret Cattle and Citrus Ranch in Osceola County, southeast of Orlando. Today the Church owns 316,000 acres covering three counties, making it the largest cattle ranch in Florida. Orlando was the second Florida stake, and was organized on February 23, 1958.

On November 1, 1960 the Florida Mission was created out of the Southern States Mission. This was the fist mission for the State of Florida. The original Florida mission was divided into the Florida South Mission July 1, 1971, then later into the Ft. Lauderdale Mission (June 1974); the Tampa Mission being created in 1976, and the Jacksonville Mission in July of 1987.

The Florida Orlando Mission is now graced to have within its boundaries the Church Ranch and the first temple of the church in Florida, the Orlando Temple.
