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!

8:00 walk/run

Our Presidency Message was given by Ladean this month. She talked about Modesty
Modesty is a quality of mind, heart and body. Modesty is an attitude of humility, desency and propiety, that may be evindent in thought, language, dress and behavior.
If we treated our bodies truely as temple of God, would it change our thought, dress, behavior and language?
Moses 2:27, we are created in GOd's image. As grateful recipients we must treat our bodies as God meant them to be treated.
God's standard is high. His standard is higher than the worlds. The way we dress says alot about our attitude and priorities.
Modesty is one way we show respect for Heavenly Father and others.
The manequin wears whatever the world is selling. Your standards are set higher than that.
Thanks LaDean for this reminder how how important it is to maintain a higher standard of thought, language and dress than what the worlds standard is.

Meet at the church for a great and uplifting morning
Our lesson this week was given by Karen Wilcken from the conference talk, Our Very Survival by Elder Kevin R Duncan.
"May we have the wisdom to trust in and follow the counsel of the living prophets and apostles"
Why do we have a living prophet?
People are confused, we need modern revelation, convey the word of God for what meets
the need of the people today.
How can we sustain the prophet?
Read his teachings, honor and follow our local leaders
Pres. Benson declared that "our very salvation hangs on following the prophet." He described what he called "Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet"
1-the prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything
2-the living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works
3-the living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet
4-the prophet will never lead the church astray
5-the prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on
any subject or act on any matter at any time
6-the prophet does not have to say "Thus saith the Lord" to give us scripture
7-the prophet tell us what we need to know, not always what we want to know
8-the prophet is not limited by men's reasoning
9-the prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual
10-the prophet may be involved in civic matters
11-the two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who
are learned and the proud who are rich
12-the prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly
13-the prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency-the highest quorum in the
Church
14-Follow the living prophet and the First Presidency and be blessed; reject them and suffer
Elder Duncan closes with his testimony "I am a witness of their goodness. I testify that they are called of God. I also testify that there is no safer way to approach life, find answers to our problems, gain peace and happiness in this world, and protect our very salvation than by obeying their words."
