Today the Scouts attended a joint meeting for holders of the Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthood. President Gerry Reynolds, First Counselor in the Grandview Stake, presided and conducted.
Brother Jay Peterson, First Counselor in the Bishopric of the Grandview Ninth Ward, spoke about the importance of living to achieve those things that matter most, and of dealing with potential challenges to our values or commitment by "role playing" how will what we will do in such circumstances.
President Scott Cherry, Second Counselor in the Grandview Stake, then spoke. Using a talk by President Monson as a foundation, he spoke of the having courage: 1) not to criticize or judge others (he quotes Mother Theresa, who said that if we judge others, then we have no time to love them); 2) to be chaste; and, 3) stand for things of righteousness.
Scouts in attendance: Clint Flinders, Matt Housley, Morgan Hunter, Sam Jarman, Landon Ledingham, Gunnar Legas, and Tyler Rife.
Adult leaders in attendance: John Bingham, Greg Jones, Daniel Ybarra.
