Happy Valentines Week!!
For those of you with your youth during Relief Society or those that serve in primary, I will try, but will fail miserably to summarize the message given by President Wilcox today.
Pres. Wilcox said that he wanted all of us to know how much the Lord is aware of each one of us and our needs and accomplishments. He wanted to convey to each of us that we need not get too down on ourselves and find pleasure in all the good that we are doing. The 3 purposes of Relief Society are Increase faith and personal righteousness, Strengthen families and homes, Seek out and help those in need. Notice that these are words that show progress. Our work here is ongoing. The Lord is pleased with us as long as we are moving forward.
Pres. Wilcox also talked about sharing our testimony. Many have talked about our testimony being conveyed through our actions, but he challenged us to speak out and verbally share our testimony of Christ. When we share our testimony, no matter how small, it is returned to us with increase.
Find someone to share your testimony of the Savior with.
Remember Stake Conference this Saturday and Sunday

What a great Sabbath Day! I'm so grateful to belong to such a strong organization of women. LaDean gave a very uplifting message encouraging us to find JOY! The Lord wants us to be happy, "Men are that they may have joy". 2 Nephi 2:25. We can wish our lives away, waiting for this or that to happen so we can finally be happy. Or we can choose to be happy now! We are living in our "Once upon a time" right NOW! LaDean told a great story about an elderly lady who had a positive attitude and decided she would decide to be happen no matter what her circumstances may be. She called it putting positive deposits into the bank account. What are we depositing? How much happier we will be if our bank account is full of JOY.
Don't forget about Ward Conference next week. President Wilcox will be giving the Relief Society Lesson so you won't want to miss that!
Thanks to everyone who helped the Brannely's on Saturday. They were so grateful for the service.
Have a great week and enJOY!!
