Brothers and Sisters,

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, my thoughts naturally turn to the abundance of blessings in our lives. Reflecting on last month’s general conference, I am especially thankful for the Savior’s gospel and the steady guidance of living prophets and apostles. I invite everyone to spend time in those messages this month and share a talk or principle that touched you with someone who might need that encouragement.

I also want to express just how grateful I am for our ward family. Serving alongside you in the Lord’s work is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I often say we have the best ward in the world, and it is truly because of your goodness, faith, and dedication.

Thank you for who you are and for all the many ways you serve.

With love,

Bishop Finlinson
