Ministering: Discussion about self-sufficiency and how to encourage it.

Can I ask about what kinds of things ministers are asked to do that should truly be done by a paid professional (or friends & family) instead of ward members?

In particular, I disagree with asking/assigning ministers to fulfill long-term needs on a daily basis. If a member is recovering from major surgery and needs dogs walked 2X a day, wouldn't it make more sense to hire a regular dog walker or pay a neighbor? With school starting next week, kids are largely unavailable to commit to this.

My RS President believes the ministering network and youth should be helping this member every day for the next few months. I simply disagree. She says we are this member's, "ward family," and should do whatever is needed. Last time this woman had surgery, the RS President was helping her daily. So she has created an expectation.

I come seeking advice, clarity, & correction (if needed). We're a big service-oriented ward and have provided countless meals, yard work, funeral help, help with moving, and so on.

This one just feels like too much. 🫤

Whistleblower details DHS directing the SSA to "brick" or add people (often legal residents) to the master death list so they'll HAVE to visit SSA in person - and then be nabbed by ICE for deportation. Details about what to expect if/when you are bricked. Keep cash on hand. Be vigilant.🕊️

Whistleblower account begins at the 20:20 mark:

Republican primary ballot - candidate info links

Be an informed voter.

My opinion:  Vote out incumbents, so vote Karianne Lisonbee for house district 2. James Ebert was the smartest one on the debate panel for Weber Commission Seat A, and I do support re-electing Sharon Bolos for Seat B.
