Encouragement by Brother Keith L. Brown Introduction In early January 1998 I was asked to write a letter of encouragement to the young people of the church where my cousin is the pastor. I decided to take the challenge one step further and write a letter/talk addressed to all the members of the church young and old, single and married.

Thursday, February 28, 2008Through some stroke of luck, my class was cancelled and my wife didn't have to go to her student teaching today. We decided to make the most of the time we had together and we headed for the Temple. Today I re-remembered why the Temple means so much to me and why God wants us to attend.
