For my Freedom and Peace!

So late last year a member of my bishopric was deployed to Iraq to assist those in need of care wounded solders and residents of the Iraqi people, it was so hard to see him go and leave his wife and 2 children behind, as this season for celebration for our freedom, saluting men like Brett Brimhall, Mike Brackline, Dwight Funk, Caleb Smith, And Many Many More.

Brett Brimhall.


The Stake Center Choir has it's annual Freedom Festival concert coming up, so they started asking member of the choir for military personal pictures for the slide show, I thought that this would be an amazing opportunity for Brother Brett Brimhall to be recognized for his service, So I ask his Wife Holly for a picture of him little did I know she would send me a couple. as I viewed each picture I felt a deep gratitude for men and women like Brett Brimhall and their families, I feel that they are the strongest persons that walk the earth. I am happy to report Brother Brimhall Reported back to the United States Late may 2008, it just says to me the Heavenly Father answers prayers for many prayers that have been spoken from the Pulpit even to the Prayers from the bedside of those that were faithful, the Lord loves us and will protect those that we hold so dear even in the circumstances of war or conflict. to this day I still have the chills that run up my spine thinking of those that are lost to help keep my freedom, to them I truly say thank you! to their families I love you dearly and my condolences. My God keep and preserve you sweet memories.

In this picture I was told it is call the Hero's Highway, the American Flag tells the People that are in need of care that they are headed to a safety zone and that they are in good hands. Thank you Brother Brimhall and Others that risk your Life in saving mine. My God watch you and Keep you till the end.

Kudos To Honk!

Last night was amazing, it was the start of Honk 2008, The cast is so talented. we walked away with so much to fix but I think we pulled together more and relied on each other this blesses us to be unified in our cause. The James Seastrand Helping Hands Foundation was created to Provide homecare services to the elderly in our communities providing rides to and from doctors appointments, the grocery store, as well as others.... so the Rosel Seastrand preforming arts program was created to help raise money for the James Seastrand Helping Hands. I don't like to use this term "Community Theatre" I think it is more than that! Yet no one is paid, it is all volunteered time spent and with shows like honk it is worth it. to see the elderly in the audience nightly creates a bond that people do care and are willing to sacrifice thier time to help others it obviously is a gift of God that 30 to 50 people are willing to give up their life for 6 months to a year, every year! this is a blessing to all, not only to the cast, orchastra, lighting, tech, Directors, and the audience.... so if you have the time please come out and support those that have given their time to bring the story of the ugly duckling to life, it is awesome! The website to buy tickets is www.Rsaf.net.

Thanks for your support.

Oh My!

WOW! Water is a rising! and I can't seem to swim! The Musical is a week and a half away, and I just finished my costumes. so awesome.! we are moving into the theatre tommorrow, June 9 it is so wierd thinking about how time seems to go by so fast...Today is one of those sundays in which you can tell the the Lord loves you, I hope many of you felt the same. Well let me explain my experience:



In August 2006 I Moved to Las Vegas, Nv. My old mission stomping grounds, I attend The North Star Ward it is a YSA (Young Single Adult) The Stake President, President Peter G. Shields, is fairly new to the calling of The position of president but has been in the presidency a long time, well he was called and he had a vision for a stake of 12 wards to create a Stake Center Choir. In which the ladies would wear matching Dresses and the men would have matching ties, we would sing at Stake Conference, all twleve Ward Conferences, we would host many concerts, a Spring Concert, a Fall Concert, a Christmas and Fourth of July Festival. The purpose of this choir was to bring the Spirit into these such meetings and events, Well in January of 2007 I was called to fill a spot in the bass section, this choir has about 65 voices, with a choir president, and two organist's later in 2007, President Shields announced that a Stake Center Orchestra was to be formed, They too were there to bring the Spirit and to accompany the choir in many songs, songs such as, Come Thou Fount, This is the Christ, I Believe in Christ, Redeemer Of Isreal, Sweet Hour of Prayer, And many more. As I have traveled to the different wards I been able to feel something that I longed for my whole life. When I sing such songs as Come Thou Fount, I realize that I will wander but after I have raised my Ebenezer (a stone Pillar) I know where to come back to. Well this morning was the Laurel Canyon Ward Conference, The Feelings that I experience coming out of those meeting is that I Know the Revelation is givin to a worthy individual and that is it recieved by those that are listining not to the speaker but to the message that is givin by the Spirit. During my own Sacriment Meeting today there were 2 Departing missionaries that spoke, but during the Sacriment portion of the meeting one of the brothers went to get more water trays due to the large amounts of people flowing in. The sacriment hymn had started and the brother hadn't returned so my Stake president got out of his seat and started to break the bread it was so humbling to experience that he has led me and that he stands by what he teaches, this evening we honored those High School seniors that are graduating in Semenary, the stake center choir sang there too, yea, I know a long day... but it was worth it. I really can't explain the way I am feeling but I do have a testimony of the restored gospel and how it has truly changed my life. it is due to men like Peter G. Shield, and many men that I am able to look to for council and guidence. My Bishop Jeremy H. Garner has said thing that I know the Lord has prepared to tell many of those in my ward to hear. Just a side note his wife Sarah had twins this past wendsday, June 4 Cole and Gavin are their names. I may not understand everything involving the gospel But I do understand that I have a Loving Heavenly Father that is mindful of me! he Lives and loves me. I am grateful to have the Holy Ghost and the constant companionship of him.

Just a thought I want to Thank you all for your support, I know it is weird that I just picked up and moved to Las Vegas, but it was done in the spirit of Prayer and once you ask and you get an answer you can't really ask again... Right? I am well the Lord is taking care of me and that is what counts.

Sunday The Day of Rest!

Peace can overcome you when you least expect it, this morning I woke up and just remembered that I can't do everything, talk about tender mercies from the Lord! my thoughts immediately my thoughts wnet to the Savior and how have I seen the hand of the Lord in my life this week? I'm not goin g to completly go thought my week and tell you what I did but highlight certain points. Last sunday, Having dinner with friends and just relaxing getting to chat with them, remembering that it is always good to take time to and just listen, not only to your closest friends but also the Spirit, he will always be there, another thing this week, Preparing for EFY is like I said almost like a mini mission, many of the small truths and little things of knowledge that you learn while you have constant scripture study, can come back to you. Doing service is always a good way to find comfort in the Lord, sitting outside all night friday night to reserve the Summerlin Preforming Arts Theartre for next years production of The Wizard Of Oz, really puts things in perspective for your thinking, continued education is a must for me and though time I will be taught how to fund it, Great is the Lord for the gift of inspiration, I love him, untill next time, see you later.
