President Renner's Remarks on 21 March 2010

Here's a quick recap of what was said last Sunday, especially for those of us who couldn't make it to church.
  • The Kuala Lumpur Branch will split in 12 months but we actually have less time than that.
  • The split will be based on the following assumptions:
  1. The current rate of baptism remains the same.
  2. Those who are baptized remain active.
  3. Aaronic priesthood holders advance to Melchizedek priesthood on time.
  • The split will be roughly along even lines, 50/50.
  • We are to focus on being temporally and spiritually reliant.
  • Leaders are to train those for whom they are responsible.
  • Teachers are to prepare their lessons well and teach by the spirit.
  • Those who hold grudges should repent and move on.
  • Those who are coasting along should start contributing.
  • By December this year, we could have about 10 members from our branch serving missions, including sisters.
Sisters, exciting times are ahead. President Renner is having a combined Priesthood and Relief Society meeting this Sunday to further instruct us so please make sure we're all there to receive it.
