Blog Authors

I sent an email inviting you to be an author on the blog.  Please accept the invitation and feel free to add anything to the blog you would like.  We would like this to be a place for sisters to keep in contact with each other, and have a forum to ask questions and have discussions.  If you did not get an email, please let Megan Tanner know, and I will get you added to the list.  Thanks!

Thanks

We  want to extend a special thanks to those who have helped with service to the Kent family.  They were not able to do the surgery this past week, so it looks like it will be another two weeks before he will be able to come home.  Thanks for all the love and support given.

Finances

We had a great enrichment meeting last night.  Sister Saunders gave a thought about paying our tithing.  After the lesson, we broke into mini classes.  There were 5 to choose from:  Teaching Kids about money by Sister Carey, Food Storage by Sister Anhder, Budgeting by Sister Tanner, Couponing by Sister Sorenson, and Insurance by Brother Ivie.  After the classes, we put together books (thanks Sister Carter) to keep all of our important documents together and organized.  There were refreshments afterwards, thanks to Sisters Christensen, Naylor, Saunders, and Hutchison.  We had cookies and brownies and food storage frosties  (a great way to rotate your dry milk!)

Thanks to all who helped and those who came.  Everybody learned something to take home and improve our lives!

New Year!

I'd like to wish a happy new year to all the Relief Society sisters.  I am excited about the new year, and have made several resolutions of my own, hopefully to keep longer than the first few weeks of the year!  Our theme for this year is "Of One Heart and One Mind."  We are going to study several different attributes of Christ, so we can learn to become like Him.  On doing this, we may have a unified soul which leads to unity within our families, ward, and church.  The attributes we are going to study are:

February: Charity and Love

March: Patience

April: General Conference

May: Diligence

June: Faith

July: Obedience

August: Knowledge

September: Hope

October: General Conference

November: Humility

December:  Virtue

We hope that as we study Christ and the attributes of his heart, we will be more able to withstand temptation and be more like him.
