The Stake President, Lynn Shurtleff, has given us these goals for 1999. They were delivered at a stake fireside on Sunday January 10, 1999. If we are faithful, diligent, and prayerful, these goals can be attained. And in so doing, we can make the vision that he has seen happen. That is: that by 2025 there will be 3 stakes where the San Jose CA South stake is now.

The goals can be easily remembered by associating certain keywords from the common LDS hymn ``I Am a Child of God''.

Hymn: I am a child of God
