Elder Jett Gatlin, a young man from the North Fort Worth area, is serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Uganda. He shared with his family this week that he sees thousands of chickens delivered to the people who live in his little corner of Uganda. The chickens were purchased for the people by donors at the Giving Machines last year. When people serve him and his companion dinner, it is almost always chicken, and it makes him smile every time, thinking of his visits to the Texas Giving Machine and others. (Last year, donors in DFW donated 11,000 chickens!) He has also seen support given from Giving Machine donations to self-reliance classes and programs to help people start small businesses. Have you visited the Texas Giving Machine yet this season? Its in Grapevine until December 5, then moving on to Frisco and McKinney. You still have many chances!Image attachment

Temples in North Texas

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been building temples since the 1830s. Temples are considered houses of God, places of holiness and peace separate from the world’s preoccupations. They provide a place where Church members can make formal promises and commitments to God to follow His son, Jesus Christ, and live righteous lives. God promises to bless and strengthen those who stay true to these sacred promises. Learn more about the temples located in North Texas below.
