Happy New Year to all our friends and members out there. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you were all able to spend the festive season with family and loved ones.

It is a new year and a new start. 2009 promises to be a great year for the church although even if it wasn't going to be a great year our work would go on as we have a duty and promise to the Lord to perform the work that we have all been called to do. We have a new blog site from Elder Clarke in Leicester which is http://www.saintsinthelatterdays.blogspot.com/ I would encourage all of you to check it out and give Elder Clarke all the support you can while he is in Leicestershire.

At the end of last year we had a wonderful winter GA which was watched by lots of people all over the world from Argentina to Australia, we are so pleased that we have been able to touch people’s lives and bring them some happiness and friendship. The churches official copy of the Book of Mormon was published at the end of 2008 and it has gone down very well with those that have ordered copies form us; we are so pleased that we have been directed by the Lord to get this edition of the Book of Mormon published. The Book of Jeraneck was read by record amounts of people last year fulfilling a promise made by the Lord that it would be 'read by people in many lands and that it would be sent unto all the world to stand a witness of the people that once inhabited this land'. The work on the churches official Bible goes on with the Prophet working hard to go through the new sections that need to be added and communing with the Lord over the issue, when the work is complete we shall notify everyone on the blog site. We would like to thank all those people that sent us support last year in whatever way they could, it was wonderful to come into contact with people who wanted to hep and also those that wanted to join with us.

We are small and although three baptisms last year may not seem like an awful lot to many out there, but for us it was a wonderful moment, we had had the chance to save souls and we performed our duty to them and to the Lord. There are many great and glorious things set to happen this year including the bringing forward of revelation and prophesy and another great things. Although we find our world falling deeper and deeper in to dark times we know that we will stand as light unto the entire world. The Lord is with us we have proved this in days past we have weathered the storms that have been thrown our way we have stood firm and not faltered and when times come that test our resolve and our very faith we know that the Lord will be with us no matter what happens. We hope and pray that we can fulfil our duty as well as we did last year and that we can do what the Lord asks of us this year without hesitation. God bless you all in the coming year.
