Announcing Our April Self-Reliance Courses
The Savior invites us all to act, to stand independent, and to become as He is. He will help us. He has promised: “It is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine. But it must needs be done in mine own way” .
Looking for employment can be challenging, and you may feel unsure, anxious, or inadequate. Heavenly Father is aware of you and interested in all aspects of your life, including your employment. Turn to Him. Ask Him for help and take hope in trusting that the right job opportunities will arrive for you.
Regardless of why you’re looking for a job, most job seekers will benefit from working on the following skills:
Preparing for interviews
Building a successful résumé
Finding job opportunities
Join us as we explore the tools and techniques the Savior provides for "Finding A Better Job" each Wednesday night in April as part of Institute!

Stake Temple & Family History Plan
2022 Mesa East YSA
Stake Temple & Family History Plan
Every ward should have a Temple & Family History Plan in place, according to Handbook guidelines found here.
Please try INDEXING! There are MANY English batches available right now, so check regularly. This is how we pay it forward AND receive promised blessings. And the 1950 US Census will be up in April 2022. It's HUGE, and it's all in English!
The following is the three-step Stake Plan:
Step 1: Love. Log in and look around FamilySearch. It’s the same login credentials as your Church account. If you don’t have one, ask a ward clerk or bishopric member for help. Learn about your ancestors, and you will begin to love them
Step 2: Share. Find a relative who need ordinances. Share the blessings of ordinances with them. You are gathering Israel!
Step 3: Invite. Help someone you love to learn how to do this work and to help. It will bless your life and your friend's, not to mention your ancestor!
On February 27, 2021, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Sister Patricia Holland were the featured speakers at Family Discovery Day. In case you missed it, you can watch it here.
Looking for blessings in your life? Temple and Family History work offers MANY.
