LAST CHANCE TO SUBMIT COVEY EXPERIENCE

We have received some great responses to our request for your experiences with President and Sister Covey. We plan to read some of them at the reunion. They are funny, spiritual and some that fall in-between. Please send us send yours! In the near future we will either provide them as an e-book or a printed book depending on the cost.

Distribution of the video tribute to President Covey, for you to view, is pending the approval and blessing of Sister Covey. It will be either be on a private password accessible website or DVD. Maybe both. We hope to have this issue resolved in time for the reunion.

MISSIONARY NEWS

John Fawcett has been appointed the Assistant Temple Recorder at the London Temple. He is serving under President and Sister Raymond Lowry, Temple President and Matron. John and his wife signed up for another two years at the London Temple. He lives in one of the apartments created in the Manor House for temple missionaries.

Our love and condolence goes out to the Robert Larsen family. Elder Larsen’s wife, Susan passed away recently from a brain tumor. The Larsen’s had been serving their second mission together when the tumor was discovered.

FINANCIAL HELP NEEDED

We received two emails recently from Bishop Tom McElhinney of the Londonderry Ward. They have two missionaries in the field with a 3^rd and 4^th ready to go this coming year and have requested our help. One of the main goals given to us by President Covey is that we, The Shamrock Society, continue our support of missionaries from Ireland. Over the years we have helped support about 100 missionaries called from Ireland. At one time we were supporting eight at once. We appreciate all of the support received from you.

We have contributed over $100,000 to missionaries called from Ireland. In addition we have sent $10,000 to the Ireland Dublin Mission and Dublin Stake to purchase a complete copy of the 1901 Irish Census. Although we included all the missionaries that served in Ireland, our “Mission of Destiny” contributed 95% of the funds sent to the Ireland Dublin Mission.

Please let us know how you feel about supporting these four missionaries. We need your support financially to offer them our support. Let’s not let them down.
