This is an email that I received from Elder Dunn on the day we were set apart as a new stake presidency in the Salt Lake Granger South Stake.

Presidents Francom, Stevens and Turley,

Just wanted to tell you how much Elder Boswell will forever relish being a party to your sacred callings today! You are a powerful presidency and will do so much good in the Granger South Stake. We feel blessed by the experience of this past weekend and, again, attest to the divine inspiration in your callings.

One last thought from today’s training; please make sure amidst the business of the next few weeks, that you take time to journal your feelings and impressions of this sacred weekend. Details will soon become fleeting, so please take a few minutes to record your personal history. If not for yourself, please do this for your grandchildren.

In the spirit of that, attached please find two photographs from the weekend. These are high enough resolution that you can print them out and include them in a journal. You can also upload these to the FamilySearch “memories” app if you have that on your phone. That is a great—a permanent way—to preserve important moments.

Thank you again and all best as you begin your sacred ministries!

Michael A. Dunn

General Authority Seventy

Called to Serve

 

On April 16, 2022 I was called my Elder Michael Dunn of the Quorum of the Seventy to serve as the first counselor in the Salt Lake Granger South Stake.

Most of what follows for the next 9 years will be talks that I prepare and give in my capacity of a member of the Stake Presidency.  I suspect over 9 years that will be several.

Note:  I am putting this and other talks in the order that they occurred.  This post is actually made on June 24, 2024 as I am posting talks I have saved to this blog.  Hopefully, if there are inconsistencies, I will clear them up from this point on.   And hopefully, I continue to post my talks on this blog!
