My dear brothers and sisters -

Beginning tomorrow, November 1st, our stake-sponsored Wood Badge course will be opening for registration. This course will be held September 15-17 & 22-24, 2016 at Maple Dell. This is a wonderful opportunity to receive some of the most powerful and life-changing training you'll ever receive. Two other stakes will be joining us: Cedar Hills and Cedar Hills West. Spots fill up very quickly.

Each bishopric in our stake is formally assigned to attend Wood Badge sometime in the next year if you have not already attended. As the presidency of the Aaronic Priesthood, this is invaluable training that will impact the lives of countless youth as you implement what you are taught. The link below gives a glimpse into how Wood Badge can impact your work as a bishopric. I also invite all Young Women, Young Men and Primary leaders to also register to attend. If you can't attend our stake-sponsored course, you are encouraged to register for another course being held in 2016. Our vision is simple: We will be a Wood Badge stake, meaning that every leader that should receive this training will receive it.

Our course director will be Brother Curtis O'Reilly, of our stake high council. Sister Livingston and I will both be a part of this course - her as a participant and myself as a troop guide. We have many other fantastic leaders who will be providing the training for all attending.

I promise you that as you make the sacrifice required to participate in Wood Badge, you will become a better husband and father, wife and mother, and a more powerful and effective Priesthood leader. You will come to know the Savior more personally. And He will teach you personally, by the power of the Holy Ghost, what He has called you to do and how He will help you to do it. We look forward to seeing you at Wood Badge.

Here is the link to register. It will be active tomorrow.
