. . . untiring, devoted leadership

Program from Pueblo Stake Conference
January 16, 1983

After serving as Stake President for nine years, Lou was released in January of 1983. The following thoughts he jotted on note cards were the framework for his talk in conference that morning.


One of the notecards

"What a great blessing and honor it is to serve the Lord.

King Benjamin - only way to serve the Lord is to serve His children.


The automatic blessings that come to your family from service to the Lord will astound you.


In all of these opportunities to serve come so many friends. Assume that people always do what they think is best at the time. And remember that they are all children of our Heavenly Father.


One of the great blessings of serving is the fact that you become a member of a team of men and/or women who bring out the very best in you. Strive to be worthy and available to be a member of one of these teams.



"Our heartfelt thanks to you, President Butler!"
