We were blessed to hear from our new RS teacher this week, Karen Wilcken. She was given the not so easy task of teaching about the dangers of pornography. Way to jump right in with both feet Karen! The lesson was from the conference talk "Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul" given by Elder Jeffrey Holland. Self deception is something that we need to be very aware of . It leads us to believe that infrequent bits of inappropriate behavior will not lead to addiction. As women and mothers, and wives we must be ever diligent and mindful of the items and programs that are being brought into our homes. Be careful with magazines, newspaper ads and TV programs. What may seem totally innocent to us, could be very arousing to the men/boys in our home.
While men are addicted through visual pornography, as women we are more verbal. We must be very cautious in the books we read. Romance novels can also be very addictive and inappropriate.
Pornography is damaging to relationships because it brings in the element of lust into something that was once a very sacred and spiritual relationship. Lust is shame, an open appetite and shakes trust and faith. Pornography exaggerates every negative part of our persona.
The church has a website to help us combat pornography that is available if needed.
Some suggestion from the lesson today are:
*Run! Run as far away from it as you can.
*Acknowledge that you need help
*Exercise self-control, even over the most minor details. A journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step. Don't take that first step!
*Quickly banish unwelcome thoughts
*Cultivate the spirit and be where the spirit is.

We'd also like to thank Adrienne Morris for all her great lessons!
Have a great week sisters!

We had a great lesson on baptism today, given by Heather Keele, she reminded us that even though we have all been baptized its important to remember why we made this covenant and remind us of the promises that we made at baptism. Several points were discussed some being; why we are baptized, how, when and who should.
Why are we baptized? become a member of the church, wash away our sins, receive the Holy Ghost, first covenant we make with the Lord and because it is a commandment.
How are we baptized? by immersion. It symbolizes a rebirth and a newness of life. Romans 6:3-5
Who and When? All should be baptized and at the age of eight. Also those that are responsible for their actions only need to be baptized.
We talked about the covenants we made at baptism:
We Promise to: Bear one another burdens, morn with those who morn, comfort, take His name upon us, stand as a witness, serve, and keep the commandments.
God Promises to: Forgive our sins, pour out His spirit upon us, offer daily guidance, give us eternal life, bless us with the Holy Ghost, and we will come forth in the 1st resurrection.
Jesus said that unless we are born of the water and of the Spirit, we cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:3-5
Remembering the importance of that first covenant really make me want to live my life better, and reminds me of the other covenants I have made with the Lord. May we all try to live a pure life and have the spirit of Christ with us always.
Make it a good week sisters. We love you!!!

Good News Minute- Kim Adams celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary. Sharon Eyre celebrated her 48th wedding anniversary. Karlene Karper bottled her tomatoes that miraculously grew from the seeds that where left over from last year! Rebecca Erickson's salon will be on TV Sunday Night. Chelsi Wood was able to go to an orphanage in Mexico last week with her family to provide service to the children living there.
A big Thank You to Ashlee Rees for giving the lesson this week! Her lesson was on Repentance, and started with defining what is sin. It is things that are contrary to the will of God. In Moses 6:57 the Lord says, "All men, everywhere, must repent". Except for Jesus Christ, everyone who lived on earth has sinned, so all of us must repent. What is Repentance? to become free from sins. Some words the sisters used were; erased, sorrow, humility, weight lifted, awareness of wrongdoing, guilt, forsake, mercy and faith. Ashlee went on to lead a great discussion on the Principles of Repentance. They are 1-Recognize our sins 2-Feel sorrow 3-Forsake our sins 4-Confess our sins 5- Make restitution 6- Forgive others 7-Keep the commandments. In closing she reminded us that repentance frees us from bondage and we find joy.
We love you all and have a great week!
