That is the term we heard at our Stake Conference last Sunday. Elder Tingey was the visiting Authority accompanied by Elder Smith the Area Authority. Doug and I were asked to share some training at the RS Leadership meeting on Sat. The topic: the welfare system of the church. After that meeting we went to the Adult Meeting. Elder Tingey talked about his travels thru out the world and what kind of turmoil is going on in the world. He met with many World Leaders who have termed the food, gas, mortgage, employment, and health cost crisis a "SILENT TSUNAMI". There is much concern with the world problem. He stressed the importance of paying our tithes and offerings, and the faith necessary to carry us thru difficult times. Those who are prepared shall not fear. He had us stand so that others could see the missionary couple who was here in New York City to help with any type of welfare training that the wards could use. It was awesome getting to visit with him and shake his hand.
An interesting last couple of days we have had here at the store house. We have filled and watched a huge amount of food leave to help families in need. We actually had to have an "extra-additional" truck come and deliver food this morning so we could fill 4 food orders today.
