One fine Sunday afternoon ... we went and visited my Grandparents who are living in Raymond, AB about a 20 minute drive from where we live.

Speaking of longevity my Grampa Williams will be 99 this December, just look at him doesn't he look awesome.

What a special opportunity we had to hear a prophet of God speak to us, teach us and express his love and encouragment . President Thomas S. Monson is so dear to all church members, we respect and love him as God's servant upon the earth. As I watched I couldn't help but ponder the churches humble beginnings 178 years ago as Joseph Smith and a handful of saints organized the church in its fulness on the earth once again! How grateful I feel to the Prophet Joseph for his leadership and for his example of faith and obedience to a loving Father in Heaven, and for giving his life for this great work! I love the words he spoke.."Shall we not go forward in so GREAT A CAUSE." And forward this church has gone, it has grown as Joseph prophecied and be
