Good afternoon Sisters. I hope all is well, and that you enjoyed our all too brief "dusting" of snow.
What a great fast Sunday it has been. Listening to the testimonies shared always lift me and make me want to be a better member of the church.
Fasting for a member of the ward has such a binding spirit for all ward members. We have been so blessed to be witnesses to miracles in our ward and hope that through our faithfulness and the will of the Lord that we can continue to have members get answers to their prayers.
Our RS lesson today was given by Tanya Noland and it was the first lesson from our new manual. Teachings of George Albert Smith. We have received a few more books, if you would like one please contact Jolene Sherwood and she will get you one.
The lesson was Living What We Believe. At the age of 34 Pres. Smith made a list of resolutions that he called his "personal creed"-11 ideals that he committed to live by. Take the time to read these and then with it being the time of year that we are all setting new goals, make a list of your own "ideals to live by"
Tanya handed out this quote that really sums up her lesson:
"Let us do better than we have ever done before. Let us renew our determination to be real Latter-Day Saints, and not just make-believe. I do not know anybody who can not do a little better than he has been doing if he makes up his mind." George Albert Smith
Remember to read you scriptures and Attend the temple this month! We want all sisters at our fall retreat. Have a great week!
