Dear Elders and Sisters,
Dear Elders and Sisters,
We desire to keep you informed the best we can regarding Heber Valley Camp. We are in the same situation as most of the country right now, not knowing for sure what will happen next because of COVID-19. The leadership of the camp held a conference call this morning and has a plan in place so that we can act quickly as soon as we have word that the camp can be opened. We are, of course, following the direction from our church and government leaders in this regard. The moment that we learn that camp will be opened we will notify you with instructions on how to proceed. In the meantime we will be electronically sending you some information to study in preparation for camp. For now the best thing that you can do is to keep yourself healthy and well.

My dear friends, our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ know us, love us and are watching over us. Of that you can be certain. These unique challenges will pass in due time. I remain optimistic for the future. I know the great and marvelous blessing that God has in store for those who love Him and serve Him. I see evidence of His hand in this holy work in so many ways.
