Bishopric Message

Mapleton 26th Ward,

This summer has gone by so fast! Hopefully, everyone has been able to spend quality time with family and enjoy the company of friends and neighbors.

This year, the World Cup came to America, and I have had so much fun following the games and taking in all the excitement. But even more than the matches themselves, I’ve loved the stories of people coming together to share in the experience—the surprise and joy of discovering new cultures, new places, and new friends.

A good friend and neighbor mentioned recently that she hopes this is a small glimpse of what the Millennium might look like, and I couldn’t agree more! As we prepare for the Second Coming, it is my hope that we can draw together as ward members and friends to support, forgive, and love one another.

Each one of us is unique, with our own individual strengths and weaknesses, and it is that very uniqueness that makes us so vital on the Lord’s team. I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing restored gospel and to be on the Savior’s winning team with all of you.

With love,

Bishop Finlinson

Family Spotlight

The Bone Family

Hello from the Bones! Here's a little about us: Jeremy and Kami grew up in Springville. We have been married 28 years and moved to Mapleton 10 years ago. Jeremy works for Western States Mechanical as a project manager where he often gets to work on new temple construction. Kami works as an English teacher at Maple Mountain High Scho0l where she gets to work on new essay construction. Both of those endeavors take a lot of faith.

We have 3 spectacular children and one soon-to-be daughter-in-law. Maret (pronounced Muh-ray) is 25 and living in Lindon. She works for IHC's signage and printing department as a graphic designer. Bridger (22) is finishing up his senior year at UVU studying mechanical engineering. He is engaged to Maddie Gale (from the 9th ward) and we couldn't be more excited! Zach is 19 and starting his freshman year at SUU: major undecided and the world wide open. We also have 1 dog, 1 turtle, and 8 chickens to keep us sufficiently unhinged. Our family loves traveling and the outdoors, though Jeremy takes it to an entirely new level. He no doubt can regale you with stories of his crazy adventures.

Coming up in the 26th Ward...
