Service is Fun!


Preparing for Christmas lights starts early in Mesa Arizona. Brother and Sister Jackson spend their time and talents year round to prepare for Christmas lights at the temple. 
"When we are in the service of our fellow man, we are only in the service of our God." Mosiah 2:17


Service makes us so happy! Christmas lights bring thousands into the visitor center. It is wonderful to be involved in getting things ready for the big event!

These sisters love to serve! We see Sisters and Hermanas Duffin, Pajaro, Embley, Pickett, Mayorca, Orr, Finau, Ganta, Rios and Beaudette.

Hermanas Greene, Ricks, Taboada and Sisters Taumarawa and Pickett working on the other wiseman.

Hermana Brons, Sister Grow, Hermanas Lund and Leon, working on the fountains

Sisters Younce and Kohler worked very hard to light up this wiseman!
Elder Cameron working on fountains with the girls and there I am too!

Here are the amazing and talented Brother and Sister Jackson. They serve in order to bring people unto Christ. The lights bring over a million people to the Temple grounds every year. Many of those come into the Visitors' Center.  Missionaries meet them and answer questions about the Temple and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 



We were blessed with another opportunity to serve the community and our fellowman We sorted and packed over 7,000 pounds of food at the United Food Bank. We worked hard and it felt great to realize our work gets the food to those in need. The community is very generous and the need in this area is humbling. We all hope to get an opportunity to serve there again.
