FAREWELL Elder Roskelley

What a sweet experience to hear Elder Roskelley speak in church (Mountainville 3rd Ward) on August 19, 2018. Porter gave a beautiful, heartfelt talk on "the blessings of His Spirit to be with us", sharing several personal experiences he has had while serving others . . . forgetting about himself and anything hard he was going through, while serving those in need. He talked about service leading him to love others, then that love invited the Spirit of Jesus Christ, which ultimately made him genuinely happy even during rough times. He also shared. . . in many of his journal entries over the years, he mentioned how much he LOVED the Spirit and the huge difference it had on his life when he sought to have the constant companionship of the Spirit, and lived worthy of it. . . everything just worked out better.  It was so sweet to hear his realization that all he needs to do is just love others and stay close to the Spirit, then everything else will fall into place. Wise counsel, my 18 year old boy!  It was overwhelming to see the chapel completely packed with so many friends, family members, leaders, coaches, beloved elementary school teachers and loved ones who have influenced Porter's life in such a remarkable way, which has helped shape him into the fine young man that he is today. It truly does "take a village..." we are humbled and very grateful for the incredibly loving and supportive village we are part of! Well done Elder Roskelley!!
