Happy New Year! Spending the morning in church was such a great way to start off the new year. I am so excited to study the Book of Mormon this year and excited about the theme we've chosen for Relief Society. For those that weren't in RS today our theme for the year will be:
The Purpose of Relief Society: Increase faith and personal righteousness
Strengthen families and homes
Seek out and help those in need
Our activities throughout the year will focus on these three areas and LaDean has given ALL sisters a challenge with a great reward!
Read the Book of Mormon daily and have it finished by October and attend the temple once a month.
For all those that meet this goal we will be going to the Bailey's cabin for an overnight retreat!
This will be a great getaway and really just a little extra bonus to the great blessing we will already be receiving!
The Bishop asked us in Sacrament meeting today to remember Emily Brannelly in our prayers and fasting next Sunday. She is still struggling with her ankle and has some tough decisions ahead of her.
Thanks to all how did their VT in December! We had 100% (thanks to a little extra help from our VT coordinator). Let's keep up our efforts throughout the year. Our sisters need us!!

Good Evening SISTERS!
Hope all the kiddies are settling into the routine of returning to school and you are finding all is well.
We had a beautiful and very moving lesson by Sister Cindy Bailey today. The Lord had a very special message for us that Cindy beautifully conveyed to us. So grateful for the spirit that was felt today and the blessing of the scriptures.
I have added a tab for you to view the Fabulous Friday crafts that we will be doing on OCT. 7th from 6-10 pm
We will be having dinner and dessert, FREE classes on Fondant, hair up-dos, hair bows, fabric flowers, pillows, and several crafts that are available to purchase and make that night. Even if you don't make a craft or take a class come have dinner and visit. You can also bring your own project or an unfinished project and work on it with us. Come enjoy a fun night with your sisters.
Also please make every effort this month to make contact with the sisters that you visit teach. We have several sisters that are NOT being visited! They need you and you need them.
Make it a great week and we will see you Sunday

Good Afternoon Sisters!
We are ordering water and bath towelettes for our 72 hour kits this month. Please see the order form outside the RS Room and in the Binders.
Our lesson this week was given by Sister LaDean Gillman and was on preparing our children to serve missions. LaDean shared with us a message that was given by Elder Bednar at the Institute at UVU. He asked everyone to turn to the Joseph Smith History. He pointed out that after Joseph had seen the Father and the Son in the sacred grove that in verse 20 the next place he went was HOME. There he found his mother and she inquired of him "what was wrong". He replied "never mind, all is well- I am well enough off. I have learned for myself..."
As mothers we have the responsibility to teach our children the gospel so that one day they may learn for themselves that the gospel is true.
Suggestions on how to prepare children for missions:
Set goals, Read the scriptures as a family, start a missionary fund early, Encourage youth to spend time away from home with other family members or church activities or college, Teach them how to work and care for themselves, take care of their mental health, develop positive social skills, develop leadership skills and Manage their money wisely.
Great blessings come to them and to the families of missionaries.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the Karren's funeral luncheon. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

What a beautiful SUN day we've enjoyed today. I hope you've all had the chance to get out and enjoy the sun.
GOOD NEWS MINUTE:
*Cindy Bailey's daughter Cami has finished cosmetology school and will be taking her board soon
*Diane Tenny's daughter Bethany had a baby girl last week
*Happy 39th Anniversary to Carol and Steve Streadbeck
Our lesson this week was Chapter 35 Obedience, Sister Amy Slaughter taught today.
Amy started her lesson with a great analogy have how much happier all parties involved are when we are willingly obedient. It shows a greater level of love to our Father in Heaven when we willingly obey. John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father."
Each of us should ask ourselves why we obey God's commandments. Is it out of fear?, because we desire the rewards for living a good life?, or because we Love God and Jesus Christ and want to serve Them?
It is better to keep commandments out of fear than not at all. But we will be much happier if we obey because we want to.
Sometimes we do not know the reason for a particular commandment. However, we show our faith and trust in God when we obey Him without knowing why.
God will prepare a way for us to keep the commandments 1 Nephi 3:7 "I will go and do the the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
Christ is the sublime example of obedience to our Heavenly Father. He said, "I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will but the will of him that sent me." His whole life was devoted to obeying his Father.
If we are obedient and endure to the end the Lord promised us "eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God" Read D&C 76:5-10 for some of the great blessing we are promised for enduring to the end and keeping the Lord's commandments.
Thanks again Amy for filling in today. We are so grateful for all our sisters in the ward and for all the service both known and unknown to others that you do every day!
