The Mesa Temple Visitors' Center Hosts the Dana Ward Council Family Home Eveneing

The Mesa Temple Visitors’ Center Hosts the Dana Ward Council Family Home Evening—May 5, 2014

All of the members of the Dana Ward Council and their spouse and children, under the direction of

Bishop Eyring, were hosted at a Family Home Evening at the Mesa Temple Visitors’ Center. Forty

members of the Dana Ward watched “God’s Plan for His Family” together and then were divided into

groups to learn about (1) how the Visitors’ Center could increase their individual spirituality and family

solidarity; (2) how the Visitors’ Center could help members of their ward auxiliary organizations come

closer to the Savior; and (3) how each member could be assisted in introducing friends who are not

members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the gospel. Under the direction of Sister

Brown and Sister Tingey, the children sang Primary Songs, heard Book of Mormon and Bible Stories,

and were taught to put on the full armor of God, Ephesians 6:11-17 complete with breastplate, helmet,

sword and shield “in order to quench the fiery darts of the wicked.” The adults were divided into two

groups: One group going, under the direction of Sister Orr, Sister Leon and Sister Taboada were taken to

view the Christus, watch the new film (April 2014) presented by the First Presidency and visit the Savior

of the World exhibit; the second group, under the direction of Sister Finau, Sister Tamurawa, and Sister

Weedman viewed the kiosks introducing the importance of Temples, the Book of Mormon and Special

Witness of Jesus Christ. The adult groups then rotated and at the conclusion of the evening the group

met for a closing prayer. Members of the Dana Ward Council were then invited to Bishop Eyring’s home

for refreshment. For 40 people this proved to be a wonderful and spiritual family home evening.
