General Conference

2011-09-28T20:22:00.001-07:00

What are your personal challenges and opportunities? President Uchtdorf teaches that “there are messages in each general conference given as a gift and a blessing from heaven specifically for our personal life situations.”

To help us receive these heaven-sent gifts and blessings from conference, he suggests three basic concepts. Find out what they are by reading “General Conference—No Ordinary Blessing.”

General Conference—No Ordinary Blessing

A fine member of the Church was talking with a neighbor who was not of our faith. When the topic of discussion turned to general conference, the neighbor asked, “You say you have prophets and apostles? And twice a year in a worldwide conference they reveal the word of God?”

“Absolutely,” the member replied with confidence.

The neighbor thought about that for a moment. He seemed genuinely interested and then asked, “What did they say in the last general conference?”

At this point the good member of the Church went from feeling excited about sharing the gospel to feeling embarrassed. Try as he might, he couldn’t think of the details of a single talk.

His friend found this troubling and said, “You mean to tell me that God speaks to man in our day and you can’t remember what He said?”

The brother felt humbled by this exchange. He vowed that he would do better to remember the words spoken by the Lord’s servants in general conference.

We all know how hard it is to remember every message of general conference, and I’m confident that we need not be embarrassed if we don’t remember everything. Nevertheless, there are messages in each general conference given as a gift and a blessing from heaven specifically for our personal life situations.

In preparation for general conference, let me suggest three basic concepts that may help us to better receive, remember, and apply the words spoken by the Lord’s servants.

1. Members of the Church are entitled to personal revelation as they listen to and study the inspired words spoken at general conference.

As you prepare for general conference, I invite you to ponder questions you need to have answered. For example, you might yearn for direction and guidance by the Lord regarding challenges you are facing.

Answers to your specific prayers may come directly from a particular talk or from a specific phrase. At other times answers may come in a seemingly unrelated word, phrase, or song. A heart filled with gratitude for the blessings of life and an earnest desire to hear and follow the words of counsel will prepare the way for personal revelation.

2. Don’t discount a message merely because it sounds familiar.

Prophets have always taught by repetition; it is a law of learning. You will hear repetition in themes and doctrines in general conference. Let me reassure you: this is not due to a lack of creativity or imagination. We continue to hear messages on similar issues because the Lord is teaching and impressing upon our minds and hearts certain foundational principles of great eternal importance that must be understood and acted upon before we can move on to other things. A wise builder first lays the foundation before erecting the walls and the roof.

3. The words spoken at general conference should be a compass that points the way for us during the coming months.

If we listen to and follow the promptings of the Spirit, they will serve as a Liahona, guiding us through the unknown, challenging valleys and mountains that are ahead (see 1 Nephi 16).

Since the world began, God has raised up prophets who speak the will of heaven to the people of their times. It is our responsibility to listen and then apply the messages the Lord provides for us.

Our merciful and loving Heavenly Father has not forsaken and will not forsake His children. Today, as well as in times past, He has appointed apostles and prophets. He continues to reveal His word to them.

What a marvelous privilege it is to hear God’s messages for each of us during general conference! Let us prepare well for this great blessing of divine guidance delivered by His chosen servants.

For this is no ordinary blessing.

Teaching from This Message

•
Read the article together. Encourage the family to identify things to listen for during general conference.
•
To help young children apply the counsel given by President Uchtdorf, show them a General Authority chart (found in the conference issue of the Liahona and Ensign). Let them know that the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be speaking in general conference. Encourage children to listen to conference and draw a picture to help them remember what they learned. Parents can visit conferencegames.lds.org for more conference activities for children.

Youth

Good, Better, Best

By Mary-Celeste Lewis

In his October 2007 general conference talk, Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles talked about activities that are “good, better, and best.” When he got to the part about “the overscheduling of children,” I squirmed guiltily in my seat.

I knew I was doing too much. I was in school plays, taking challenging classes in school, and was involved in several other activities. I hadn’t been attending Young Women activities faithfully, and my Sundays were filled with the stress of trying to complete last-minute homework. Practicing music and editing the school newspaper had lost their element of fun and had become work.

Elder Oaks’s talk made me take a good look at my schedule. My activities were good, but there were too many of them. I had to choose the best ones. As I tried to decide which activities to forsake, I realized that the gospel of Jesus Christ was the best priority anyone can have. I put prayer and scripture study at the top of my list, and since then, my life has run more smoothly.

Elder Oaks taught me that when we do what the Lord wants us to do first, everything else will fall neatly into place. If I study my scriptures before I play games or even before I do my homework, everything important will get done. When I base my life around the Lord, instead of adding Him in as an afterthought, my life has an added measure of peace and success.

Now I’m very careful to listen to the counsel given at general conference!

I Can Find Answers through General Conference

President Uchtdorf teaches that if you think of some questions before general conference, the Lord can speak to you through His prophets and apostles during conference.

1.
As a family or class, discuss what you need to learn, either individually or together. (For example: How do I strengthen my testimony? How should I deal with a problem at school?) On a piece of paper or in your journal, write down your questions.
2.
In the weeks leading up to conference, you could think and pray about these questions.
3.
Listen carefully during conference (it may help to take notes). Then write how the Lord—through Church leaders—answered your questions.
4.
On another piece of paper, you could draw a picture of yourself doing what you learned.

“Time Out for Women” presented by Deseret Book

2011-05-02T15:47:00.001-07:00

I heard about this here, and thought I would share the information incase any of you are interested in attending. I think it would be amazing.

Deseret Book is putting on “Time Out for Women.” This year they are holding it in Pocatello, June 3rd-4th, and it should be AWESOME! If you're not familiar with TOFW, it is an event just for women, 16yrs+. It takes place Friday evening and most of the day Saturday. They have speakers and musical guests, and a service project where all who attend will be making kits for a local women's shelter. Some of the speakers this year include Heidi Swinton, who wrote Pres. Monson's biography and she'll be sharing some of the insights she learned while doing that. Another presenter is Jason F. Wright, who wrote The Christmas Jars & The Wednesday Letters. Two of the musical guests include Jenny Oaks Baker and Mercy River.

Anyway, if you get a group of 4 women together and register before May 4th, you get a nice discount! So if anyone wants more information or a brochure or any questions, just let me know! You can also go to their website, http://deseretbook.com/timeout/event/148, and get more details."

January Visiting Teaching Message

The History and Heritage of Relief Society

"The History and Heritage of Relief Society", Liahona, Jan. 2011, 7

Study this material and, as appropriate, discuss it with the sisters you visit. Use the questions to help you strengthen your sisters and make Relief Society an active part of your own life.

09681_000_006

Eliza R. Snow recalled the Prophet Joseph Smith teaching that “although the name [Relief Society] may be of modern date, the institution is of ancient origin.”¹

Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, visited Joseph Smith and, through him, restored the fulness of the gospel to the earth. Relief Society was part of that restoration. The organization of the Church was not complete until the sisters were organized.²

In the coming months, each Visiting Teaching Message will give us the opportunity to learn more about the history of Relief Society and its part in the restored gospel. For many reasons, understanding our history is not only important but essential.

First, an understanding of our history inspires us to be the women of God we need to be. By following the examples of noble Latter-day Saint women, we can learn from the past how to face the future.³

Second, our history teaches that the same principles that existed in the early Church are our foundational principles today. This knowledge and our purposes—to increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and help those in need—draw a connection between our past and our present.

Third, as we value our history, we can better share our spiritual heritage. President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, said: “You pass the heritage along as you help others receive the gift of charity. … The history of Relief Society is recorded in words and numbers, but the heritage is passed heart to heart.”⁴

Finally, understanding our history helps make us an effective part of the future of Relief Society. President Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985) explained, “We know that women who have deep appreciation for the past will be concerned about shaping a righteous future.”⁵

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.

From the Scriptures

Esther 9:28–29; Romans 16:1–2; Alma 37:8; Moroni 7:45–47

From Our History

“Relief Society is the Lord’s organization for women.”⁶ In his capacity as a prophet, Joseph Smith organized the Relief Society on March 17, 1842. The small, diverse group at that first meeting were dedicated women, similar to Relief Society sisters today. “The youngest were three teenagers, and the oldest, a woman in her fifties. Eleven of the women were married, two were widows, six were unmarried, and the marital status of one is unknown. Their education and backgrounds varied greatly, as did their economic circumstances. Their diversity would be magnified many times as the organization’s membership continued to grow, but they were and would continue to be one.”⁷

What Can I Do?

1.
What can I do to help the sisters I visit receive the gift of charity?
2.
What can I begin to do this month to help shape a righteous future for myself? for my family? for others?

Christmas Inspiration…

2010-12-11T17:52:00.001-08:00

A Different Kind of Shopping List for Christmas

One package of cooperation: This is a basic ingredient in every successful venture.

One pound of mixed nuggets of wisdom and inspiration: The shelf life of these nuggets is very short so serve fresh while still on your mind.

One bottle of enthusiasm: May be sprinkled liberally on everything you do, but it is astonishing what even a few drops can do.

One box of compromise pills: At first, these may seem like bitter pills to swallow, but they contain a magic catalyst that results in improved human relations.

One large economy carton of patience: Keep a good supply on hand—a most useful item, and, during the holiday season, it’s so easy to run short at the most inconvenient times.

A matching pair of bookends marked “Appreciation” and “Gratitude.” No matter how these are used or to whom they are given, they are always welcome.

One spool of tact and understanding: Good for mending hurt feelings and patching up injured egos. Much better than Elmer’s glue. Maybe you’d better get two spools while you’re at it.

One do it yourself humility-hat set: This fully equipped kit has everything you need. The little humility—hat comes in all sizes and shapes. Be sure to select one size smaller than you usually wear because that’s just what you need. Kit also includes one South African head shrinking device made in Japan—guaranteed to keep little minds from getting puffed up. This is one gift you may wish to wrap for yourself. You’ll be proud you did!

A gallon jug of common sense: May be combined with so many other things and in so many different ways. Can also be used as a substitute when other ingredients are not available. This is a must on your shopping list. Costs only a few cents. All stores have a large supply because most people don’t keep much on hand.

One warm and comfy blanket of love: Even the smallest size can be wrapped around all your friends and relatives, especially at Christmas time. Because of the way it is woven, it warms the heart even before the hands. It can be used in emergencies to wipe away tears, cares and sorrows. No couple can afford to be without one, particularly on birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day. If worn constantly, it will last forever.

The Ten Commandments of Christmas

1.Thou shalt not put any other holiday traditions or celebrations (not even Santa Claus) above the celebration of our Savior's birth and the deep meaning of His life, teachings, and sacrifices.
2. Thou shalt look at thy life and make at least one positive change as your gift to the Savior at His birthday celebration.
3. Thou shalt have many traditions, especially those types of traditions that remind you of the Savior, give service to others, and bring your family closer together.
4. Thou shalt remember those who are alone and help them to have a "Merry Christmas" also.
5. Thou shalt give gifts of worth and not merely add to another's collection of clutter simply for the sake of "giving a gift". Give of yourself which is the way Savior gave.
6. Thou shalt value the effort and thought put into gifts received. Just as with the widow's mite, it is the meaning that gives a gift value not the dollar amount paid.
7. Thou shalt give no gift grudgingly or because you have to. This does not mean to not give the gift to someone, but work until you have changed your own attitude.
8. Thou shalt not become so busy that you don't have time to really enjoy the season.
9. Thou shalt remember that of all the beautiful and expensive gifts, what children want and need most is honor, respect, love, and your time.
10. Above all, Thou shalt find a way to keep the spirit of the Christmas season and of giving all through the year.

December Visiting Teaching Message

Our Responsibility to Participate in Temple and Family History Work

"Our Responsibility to Participate in Temple and Family History Work", Liahona, Dec. 2010, 7

Study this material and, as appropriate, discuss it with the sisters you visit. Use the questions to help you strengthen your sisters and to make Relief Society an active part of your own life.

Over the centuries many people have died without knowledge of the gospel. Some of those people are your near and distant relatives. They are waiting for you to do the necessary research to link your families together and perform saving ordinances on their behalf.

Most of the temples of the world are not busy enough. The Lord has promised that your hearts would be turned to the fathers so that the earth would not be utterly wasted at His coming (see D&C 2:2–3).

There are personal blessings you receive as a result of participation in temple and family history work. One of these is the joy that you feel as you serve your ancestors. Another is that you are able to qualify for a temple recommend, which signifies your worthiness before the Lord. Those who are not worthy today of the privilege of having a recommend should be working with a bishop or branch president to qualify as soon as possible. Please don’t be without this vital qualification. I testify that the Atonement is real and that sins can be forgiven upon proper repentance.

As we participate in temple and family history work, we are certain to have the Spirit to comfort us in our challenges and to guide us in important decisions. Temple and family history work is part of our work of providing relief, or service, to our own ancestors.

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.

From the Scriptures

Malachi 4:5–6; 1 Corinthians 15:29; 1 Peter 3:18–19; D&C 110:13–16; 128:24

From Our History

“The Prophet Joseph Smith said, ‘The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead’ (History of the Church, 6:313). From the beginning, Relief Society sisters have supported this great work. In Nauvoo in 1842, Sarah M. Kimball’s desire to help the temple construction workers prompted a group of sisters to organize themselves so that they could serve more effectively. As they began to meet, the Prophet … organized the first Relief Society after the pattern of the priesthood. From that time on, the Relief Society sisters helped further the work on the Nauvoo Temple. …

“In 1855, eight years after the Saints first arrived in Utah, the Endowment House was established. Eliza R. Snow, who had been one of the original members of the first Relief Society and had preserved the records of that organization, was called by President Brigham Young in 1866 to be the general Relief Society president. She and other sisters were faithful workers in the Endowment House. Then, as the St. George, Logan, and Manti Temples were completed, these sisters traveled to each temple so they could do work for the dead there.”¹

What Can I Do?

How can I help my sisters search out their ancestors and perform temple ordinances for them? Consider the circumstances of each sister as you ponder how to meet her needs. You might consider that family history work can often strengthen new, returning, and less-active members.
When has temple and family history work comforted me in my challenges or guided me in important decisions?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a great poem that goes along with this months Visiting Teaching message (Thanks Shelley)

Another's Hands
Like a child seeks help from a parent
my fingers extend.
Reaching,
hoping that my life will be more
than the little I can be alone.
Other hands,
some wrinkled, some soft
some long gone,
extend to me as I go about my days.
What joys have they known?
What child have they touched?
What pains have they born?
Like Michaelangelo's Adam
reached for his Father's hand
I reach tentatively for another's grasp.
Can I share something?
Can I feel as another does?
Can I learn to find joy?
Hands are tools
sent with loving purpose
offering us a taste of heaven
from our mother above.
Will You Take Mine?
Will we reach together?
Will you give me yours?

So any used coats, gloves, hats, snow pants, etc would be greatly appreciated. They can be brought to the Friday Fun Night on October 22 or can be brought to my house. They can still donate knits hats as it is said on the humanitarian handout for the year if they choose.

We are also asking for any left over, scrap material, bats,or donated fabric to be made into quilts for families here in our community. We will also be asking for help in piecing the quilts together and finishing them (hopefully before Christmas).

There will also be a Humanitarian Corner at the Friday Fun Night on October 22 for those who want to help

WHEN YOU KNOW A SISTER
By Edgar A. Guest
When you get to know a sister, know her joys and know her cares,
When you've come to understand her and the burdens that she bears,
When you've learned the fight she's making and the troubles in her way,
Then you find that she is different than you thought her yesterday.
You find her faults are trivial and there's not so much to blame
In the sister that you jeered at when you only knew her name.
You are quick to see the blemish in the distant neighbor's style,
You can point to all her errors and may sneer at her the while,
And your prejudices fatten and your hates more violent grow
As you talk about the failures of the one you do not know,
But when drawn a little closer, and your hands and shoulders touch,
You find the traits you hated really don't amount to much.
When you get to know a sister, know her every mood and whim,
You begin to find the texture of the splendid side of them;
You begin to understand her, and you cease to scoff and sneer,
For with understanding always prejudices disappear.
You begin to find her virtues and her faults you cease to tell,
For you seldom hate a sister when you know her very well.
When next you start in sneering and your phrases turn to blame,
Know more of her you censure than her business and her name;
For it's likely that acquaintance would your prejudice dispel
And you'd really come to like her if you knew her very well

IT IS A NEW MONTH LETS TRY AND GET OUR VISITING TEACHING DONE. EVERY SISTER SHOULD FEEL LOVED AND APPRECIATED!!!

I have already talked with Shon Moulton, the attorney in Driggs & he's going to do one of the classes on "wills". We have 4 others in mind, and are working on making those arrangements. We're hoping to have a meeting in the next week or so to discuss more details, so stay tuned...

Becoming Self-Reliant

2010-02-07T19:46:00.001-08:00

Sunday February 7th lesson from Sister Bagley. She gave a beautiful heartfelt lesson on Becoming Self-Reliant. This is a handout she gave us. It is intended to help us identify the areas of self-reliance we are lacking in, to help us start thinking about the next steps and goals we can give ourselves in becoming more self-reliant.

“Food for the hungry cannot come from empty shelves;

Money to assist the needy cannot come from an empty purse;

Support and understanding cannot come from the emotionally starved;

Teaching cannot come from the unlearned;

Spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually week.”

-Ana Maria Coburn, Primary General Board

Area of Self Reliance	My Next Steps and Goals
Spiritual Strengths:
Physical, Emotional and Social Strengths:
Preparedness for Emergencies and/or Eventualities
Financial Management:

WORK and LEARN

Work is an antidote for anxiety, and ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility. Those who aren’t unafraid to roll up their sleeves and lose themselves in the pursuit of worthwhile goals are a blessing to their families, community, nations and to the Church.

Knowledge does away with darkness, anxiety, and doubt; for these cannot exist where knowledge is. Strive to increase your knowledge of all that is “virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy.” Seek knowledge “by study and also by faith.” Seek with a humble spirit and contrite heart. -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 13th Article of Faith, D&C 109:7

Primary Activity

2010-02-07T19:31:00.001-08:00

Just a little reminder for those mothers who didn’t hear about the Primary Activity. It is this Tuesday, February 9th after school till 4:30. They are going to spread some love and joy to others and hope that you can come. Parents are always welcome.

Visiting Teaching Message for FEBRUARY…don’t forget your sisters this month

2010-02-07T19:26:00.001-08:00

Managing Resources Wisely and Staying Out of Debt

“Managing Resources Wisely and Staying Out of Debt,” Liahona, Feb 2010, 7

Teach these scriptures and quotations or, if needed, another principle that will bless the sisters you visit. Bear testimony of the doctrine. Invite those you visit to share what they have felt and learned.

Managing Resources

“‘Provident living’ … implies the [conserving] of our resources, the wise planning of financial matters, full provision for personal health, and adequate preparation for education and career development, giving appropriate attention to home production and storage as well as the development of emotional resiliency. … If we live wisely and providently, we will be as safe as in the palm of His hand.”1

President Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985).

“What skills do we need to help us become self-reliant? … In the early days of the Church, Brigham Young pled with the sisters to learn to prevent illness in families, establish home industries, and learn accounting and bookkeeping and other practical skills. Those principles still apply today. Education continues to be vitally important. …

“I asked several bishops what self-reliance skills the sisters in their wards needed most, and they said budgeting. Women need to understand the implications of buying on credit and not living within a budget. The second skill bishops listed was cooking. Meals prepared and eaten at home generally cost less, are healthier, and contribute to stronger family relationships.”2

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.

Avoiding Debt

“May I suggest five key steps to financial freedom. …

“First, pay your tithing. …

“Second, spend less than you earn. …

“Third, learn to save. …

“Fourth, honor your financial obligations. …

“Fifth, teach your children to follow your example.”3

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin (1917–2008) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“When we go into debt, we give away some of our precious, priceless agency and place ourselves in self-imposed servitude. We obligate our time, energy, and means to repay what we have borrowed—resources that could have been used to help ourselves, our families, and others. …

“To pay our debts now and to avoid future debt require us to exercise faith in the Savior—not just to do better but to be better. It takes great faith to utter those simple words, ‘We can’t afford it.’ It takes faith to trust that life will be better as we sacrifice our wants in order to meet our own and others’ needs.”4

Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Helps for Visiting Teachers

Counsel with your companion about how to sensitively adapt this message to each sister’s circumstances. What self-reliance skills can you share with her?

Our new Presidency

2010-01-11T11:05:00.000-08:00

Just a little introduction to our New Relief Society Presidency

Nancy Richardson (President)

I have been married for 26 years to my wonderful husband Andy. I have 2 children, James and Nicole. James has been married for 2 years to Amanda and Nicole has been married for 1 year to Sean Goodman. We both come from Idaho Falls and we have lived in the valley for 14 years. I love to spend time with my family we love to ride 4-wheelers, have a lot of bon fires and just hand out. Other than my family I have a strong love for horses. In the summer I travel anywhere from New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, Utah and Montana to show my Arabian. I have been doing this for 9 years, I started with Nicole showing for a few years then when she turned 18 it was moms turn. I travel with a group that ranges from 6-60. I'm grateful for this calling and I'm looking forward to getting to know all the sisters in the ward.

Pauline Bagley (1st Counselor)

I was born and raised in Teton Valley of goodly parents, having an older sister, a younger sister and younger brother. Since my brother was the youngest, I am my sisters spent a lot of time on the tractors farming and feeding cattle. I married my high school sweetheart after he returned from his mission to Australia. After being away from the Valley for about 8 years for schooling and work, we realized we were country people so we moved back to Teton Valley to farm. We have three married children and 9 and 2/3 grandchildren. I am an outdoor person and like to walk, hike, ride horses, camp, ski, drive tractors, feed cattle, or whatever else needs done outside. However, when the weather is bad I like to be indoors playing the piano, reading, sewing, cleaning or trying new recipes. I love my family and friends and am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Victor 3rd Ward.

Tanya Bingham (2nd Counselor)

I am the happy mother of 4 great kids (Janessa, Breklyn, Kambria and Cayson), and love that I get to stay home with them. I met my sweetheart, Logan at what was then Ricks College...first day of my fall semester, Freshman Year! Not exactly what I had planned, but NO regrets! I have lived in several different states including Arizona, Illinois, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico and Hawaii, but my family is mostly in Utah now. I am the 5th child of 10...6 sisters and 3 brothers. something unique about me is that I've been Life Flighted once (off the ski hill) and almost a second time, and Logan's been Life Flighted too (Hunting accident '06)! Not sure that's anything to be proud of, but certainly something unique!

Shelley Streit (Secretary)

I grew up in California and decided to attend BYU Provo for a bit of a change of pace. Little did I know how big of a change I was in for. I was baptized at the end of my Freshman year and met my husband Jason that same year. Most of my time is spent with my three children (Cambrie, Tatum and Jake) but I spend my Wednesdays working as a dental hygienist at Cottonwood Dental. I enjoy travelling, snowshoeing, sunshine, reading, just started quilting, am addicted to chocolate and though I'm taking a break right now. I've been working on learning Spanish. I would be lost without my Heavenly Father and definitely wouldn't have chosen to give up 80 degree weather and frequent mall shopping without His influence. Of course, now that I'm here there is no place I'd rather be living.

June Family Canning Schedule-Idaho Falls, ID

2009-05-06T09:53:00.000-07:00

This is a letter received from the Cannery:

Brothers & Sisters:

You will find attached the June Schedule for Family Canning at the Idaho Falls ID Cannery.

I thought I would give you an update as to where we are at in regards to canning any meat products, as most of you are aware we have not done since last year. It has been determined that we will not be able to offer any Family Canning of any Meat Products, which is the Chicken Chucks, Chili, Beef Stew, etc.

There may still be hope. We are looking into the possibility of becoming a USDA Certified Facility. If we are successful in accomplishing this, we would be able to offer these products. Given our present welfare canning schedule, it would probably not happen until towards the end of the year. We will keep you informed as to our progress.

Sincerely,
Charlie Olsen
Manager

PS: We will only be sending out the Family Canning Schedules via e-mail. If you have friends, family, etc that would like to get on our e-mail list and receive any future notification, please have them e-mail me at: 0lsench@ldschurch.org and request to be put on our e-mail list. Please have them include their name along with their e-mail address.

Here is the June Schedule:

June 2, 2009 (Tuesday): Seedless Raspberry Jam-in cannery Smooth pint bottles. $2.24/Pint

June 3, 2009 (Wednesday): Seedless Strawberry Jam-in cannery Smooth pint bottles $1.44Pint

Visiting Teaching Message-APRIL

2009-04-17T19:10:00.000-07:00

Why Search the Scriptures?

President Howard W. Hunter (1907–95): “I commend to you the revelations of God as the standard by which we must live our lives and by which we must measure every decision and every deed. Accordingly, when you have worries and challenges, face them by turning to the scriptures and the prophets” (“Fear Not, Little Flock,” in 1988–89 Devotional and Fireside Speeches [1989], 112).

President Ezra Taft Benson (1899–1994): “Success in righteousness, the power to avoid deception and resist temptation, guidance in our daily lives, healing of the soul—these are but a few of the promises the Lord has given to those who will come to His word. … Certain blessings are to be found only in the scriptures, only in coming to the word of the Lord and holding fast to it. …

“… Recommit yourselves to a study of the scriptures. Immerse yourselves in them daily so you will have the power of the Spirit to attend you in your callings. Read them in your families and teach your children to love and treasure them” (“The Power of the Word,” Ensign, May 1986, 82).

President Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985): “As you become more and more familiar with the truths of the scriptures, you will be more and more effective in keeping the second great commandment, to love your neighbor as yourself. Become scholars of the scriptures—not to put others down, but to lift them up! After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?” (“The Role of Righteous Women,” Ensign, Nov. 1979, 102).

How Can I Treasure the Scriptures?
2 Nephi 4:15: “For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children.”
Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president: “One good way to start studying the scriptures is to ‘liken’ them to ourselves (see 1 Nephi 19:23). Some people start by choosing a subject in the Topical Guide that they need to know more about. Or they start at the beginning of a book of scripture and look for specific teachings. …

“Whichever way a person starts studying the scriptures, the key to unlocking important knowledge is to keep studying. I never tire of discovering the rich treasures of truth in the scriptures because they teach with ‘plainness, even as plain as word can be’ (2 Nephi 32:7). The scriptures testify of Christ (see John 5:39). They tell us all things we should do (see 2 Nephi 32:3). They ‘make [us] wise unto salvation’ (2 Timothy 3:15).

“Through my scripture reading and the prayers that accompany my study, I have gained knowledge which brings me peace and helps me keep my energies focused on eternal priorities. Because I started reading the scriptures daily, I have learned about my Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and what I need to do to be like Them” (“My Soul Delighteth in the Scriptures,” Liahona and Ensign, May 2004, 108–9).

President Thomas S. Monson: “The holy scriptures adorn our bookshelves. Make certain they provide nourishment to our minds and guidance for our lives” (“The Mighty Strength of the Relief Society,” Ensign, Nov. 1997, 95).

{You are Special...}

2009-03-02T15:21:00.000-08:00

I saw on this short video on a blog and wanted to share it with all the sisters. It is a great reminder of your worth and value. I think if we are honest there are just some days when we forget how important we are. We need to remember that we are Daughters of our Heavenly Father and he loves us more then we can comprehend.

Tell yourself that you’re beautiful in every way, and special, and loved, and needed more than you will ever know. Thanks for being so special...

(Thanks Chris-if you read this)

Don't forget to report...

2009-01-28T13:07:00.000-08:00

...your visiting teaching to your adviser. If you don't know who you are suppose to report to, then you can contact Ann-Marie Kunz at 787-4120, and she can tell you.

There is a list to the left of all the advisers.

If you are yet to get you visiting teaching done for January you still have a few days left. Try to contact your sisters and let them know you are thinking of them. If you are done, then make it a goal to get February done with-in the first couple weeks. Start making appointments today!!!

Have a GREAT day!!!

Must Try Recipes from the Cooking Group...

2009-01-20T11:51:00.000-08:00

All these soups are delicious and fairly easy to make! A big THANKS goes out to Rachel Nelson for hosting our Cooking Group last week. You are much appreciated. Also, thanks to all who attended, and brought such great recipes to share with our sisters.

French Onion Soup
1/2 C butter
2 TBS olive oil
4 cups sliced onions
3 cups beef broth
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp. thyme
salt & pepper to taste
4 slices french bread (toasted)
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Shredded parmesan cheese

Melt butter with olive oil in an 8 quart stock pot on medium heat. Add onions and saute until tender and translucent. Add broth & thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 30 minutes. Heat the oven broiler. Ladle soup into oven safe serving bowls and place one slice of bread on top of each (bread may be broken into pieces if you prefer.) Layer cheese on top of bread. Place bowls on cookie sheet and broil until cheese bubbles and browns slightly. The more cheese the better (in my opinion).

Restaurant Style Zuppa Toscana
1 (16oz) package hot sausage
2 potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
3/4 cup chopped onion
6 slices bacon
1&1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 cups kale - washed, dried, shredded
4 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream

Pre-cook sausage until done and bacon until crispy. In large saucepan cook onions until almost clear, add garlic and cook an additional minute. Add chicken broth and potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes. Add crumbled bacon, sausage, kale, and cream. Simmer until ready to serve. The kale takes a little while to cook. You could make this in your crock pot and it would be an easy supper. This soup is also great the next day!

Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
4 C chicken broth
1 C carrots, diced
1/2 onion, chopped or 1TBS dried chopped onion
1/4 C wild & brown rice
!/2 to 1 C mushrooms, chopped
1/2 tsp basil
2-3 Chicken breasts, pre-cooked
1/2 cup heavy cream

1. Cook rice in separate pot with 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil and let simmer for @ 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine broth, carrots, onion, mushrooms & basil. Bring to a boil, cook until carrots are tender @ 10-15 minutes. Add cooked chicken & cream. Add cooked rice just before serving.

This would also be easy in the crock-pot, just wait to add cooked rice until 20 minutes before serving or it will turn to mush.

Just a reminder...

2009-01-15T18:46:00.000-08:00

that you have 16 days to get your Visiting Teaching done. The message title for the month of January is Stand Strong and Immovable in Faith. It is a message of inspiration that every sister should hear. Our Heavenly Father felt a great need for unity in our sisterhood, that is why we are called to be Visiting Teachers. It was not intended to be an inconvenience, or a burden you feel once a month. You just never know how your examples could change someones life. Here is one example of 2 sisters making a difference not only in the sister they visited, but in her family.

Ethel and Edna
By Karie Lyne Jackson
When I was a young woman, newly married and pregnant with my first child, I did not attend church regularly. My parents had taught me the gospel, but I was struggling with my testimony. My husband and I felt unsure what direction we wanted our lives to go. I went to church when it was convenient for me, but I certainly did not want a calling or to have anything to do with Relief Society. In my mind Relief Society was for my grandmothers—not for me.
Then along came my first visiting teachers, Ethel Hiatt and Edna Nickels. They were in their 80s, and I wondered why they had been assigned to me. Our lives were so different, and I was sure that these sisters couldn’t possibly understand me. It wasn’t until later that I realized these women had brought blessings into my life.
Neither of these sisters had a vehicle or a telephone, so they walked each month, regardless of the weather, to visit me in my home. When they came, they brought a calm spirit of long lives of gospel service. Both had endured many trials. Both knew pain and suffering. But more important, they knew the art of cheerfulness and the gift of loving others.
When my child was born, they rejoiced in the newness of life. They didn’t bring meals and gifts, just a simple card telling me how happy they were for me. Their messages were never long, nor did they make me feel guilty or misunderstood. Sister Hiatt and Sister Nickels loved me and inspired me by their examples. Through their simple kindness, my heart was touched and I began to look forward to their visits.
As I matured, I realized that these sisters had weathered the storms of life and yet were still faithful in the gospel. My desire to follow their example grew, and before long, I found myself attending all of my Church meetings. My visiting teachers did not directly invite me to go, but I felt comfort knowing that they would be there to support me when I arrived.
Sister Hiatt and Sister Nickels have long since left this world, but their examples will remain with me always. They opened the door not only for me but also for my husband and our children. Were it not for them, we might have missed out on the blessings of eternity. I think of them often and wonder what my life would be like had they given up on me. I’ve learned that there truly is simpleness and sweetness in the tender mercies of the Lord.

Visiting Teaching Video

2008-10-13T20:42:00.000-07:00

Regardless of personal circumstances, we all need to know that we are loved and that someone cares. Visiting teaching is not just a lesson or a phone call. It is concerned, deep interest in the lives of others. It is about giving what the other person needs, not necessarily what we want to give. More than anything else, visiting teaching is a way for us to help each other feel the Savior's love in our lives. October 2008 Ensign - Name Withheld

Please pause the "playlist" at the end of the blog before playing video.

As most everyone is aware, the Church has suspended the canning of all meat products. We will be conducting a test run on October 10th, with a new set of procedures that must be followed. It is critical that anyone wishing to participate in the canning of meat products review thoroughly the attached documents. (Documents available from R.S. Presidency Sunday.) A signed copy of the “Note of Ownership (Bill of Sale)” must be received by October 3, 2008, in order to participate in this canning session. (This can either be a faxed copy of the document [Fax: 529-9956], or a signed original document.) Any questions can be directed to the cannery. Calling in to sign up will not be complete nor secure you a place in this family canning activity until we have the signed “Note of Ownership (Bill of Sale)” in our possession. If someone fails to show up on the canning date, the product cannot be sold to anyone else, nor given away. The only alternative the cannery will have will be to throw the product away.

This test run will assist the Church in evaluating the feasibility of offering meat products for family canning in the future. Your cooperation, patience and understanding is appreciated.

Cans & Lids & Fun, Oh, My!

-Just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz - only the sisters of the Victor 3rd Ward weren't surrounded by lions and tigers and bears, just cans & lids, & flour & sugar &&&&&&&. And our adventure didn't start in Kansas. It started at the LDS Cannery in Idaho Falls where Amber, Jill , and Amber's kids picked up 500 cans, lids, and oxygen absorption packets.

From there, our yellow brick road led us to Chris Johnson's garage in Brookside where we set up tables and dry pack canners and went to work. From 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a break at noon for a delicious lunch, we canned and laughed and canned some more. Here's what our day looked like:

Bishop Kunz has given the ok to purchase a dry pack canner for our ward. If you would like to contribute toward the purchase price, you can do so by marking "other" on your donataion slip and writing in "ward dry pack canner."

Recipes from May and June Enrichment will be available on Sunday.
