Bishops and Stake Leaders,
Thank you very much for your support of the Self-Reliance Initiative introduced in your ward or branch last Sunday.
The response has been wonderful as you can see by the report below from President Hansen and Brother Damion Rich, our stake Self-Reliance Specialist. We give a special thanks to them and to all on the Stake Self-Reliance Committee (including Bishop Hulet and Nancy Jones, of the Stake Relief Society presidency).
We realize there will be some attrition as busy lives crowd in, but please know how strongly we feel this emphasis will bring strength—especially spiritual strength—into the lives of the members of your ward or branch.
You’ll remember President Nelson’s declaration in April Conference: “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting and constant influence of the Holy Ghost…I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity…”
To this end, we feel the Self-Reliance Initiative is one of the most effective tools available to us that can have a measurable impact on the spiritual lives of those in our stake.
Your participation, monitoring and encouragement is greatly appreciated.
We welcome your counsel on what more we can do to give emphasis to this effort as we encourage all members to participate in a Self-Reliance group in the coming months.
Gratefully,
President Lewis
