Thank You! and Looking Ahead

We had a great time at the Relief Society Meeting last night! A HUGE thank you to our "teachers"!

We will have copies of the handouts available in the binder on Sunday if you missed it.

Looking ahead, it looks like the date for our retreat will be October 22. And we will be at the Bradshaw cabin. Thanks Boyd and Kaylyn for being willing to share!

We are super excited about this activity, and hope that you will try to make arrangements with your husband, etc. so you can come!

*a reminder, check the scripture schedule on the left sidebar for the 3 in 3 challenge!

Book of Mormon Challenge & October RS Meeting (responses requested)

Sisters - if you notice on the left sidebar, there is a schedule to follow if you are doing the Book of Mormon 3x in 3 months challenge that was issued at Stake Conference.

(My kids are doing a modified version of the challenge - they are reading it 1 time in 3 months or 6 pgs per day)

We were promised some pretty amazing things if we accept this challenge - increased testimony, closer relationship with our Savior, more peace in our homes...

It isn't easy. But few things that really matter are easy.

Now, here's the part where I need some responses. We are trying to plan a retreat or late night social for the Relief Society in October. There will be a sign up going around on Sunday, but if you are not there, or don't see it, please respond here.

We need to know: 1) if you are interested, 2) if you prefer an overnight retreat or just a late Friday Night activity, 3) which date would work best, October 8 or October 22, and 4) if you know of or have access to a cabin/venue that would be available for a large(ish) group overnight. if we do a late night thing, it will be at the church.

Please leave me a comment and answer these questions so we know how to proceed with planning! Thanks!

September Activity

I just wanted to call your attention to the sidebar for details regarding our upcoming September Relief Society Meeting.

It should be a really fun night, and I hope you can attend.

Oh What a Night!

Oh. My. Goodness! Thank you to all who came to our activity last night! It was better than I ever hoped. We laughed, we cried, we ate ice cream...

It was so fun to get to know some of our sisters just a little better!

Thank you all again. You are all truly unique and wonderful women who have so much to offer. I am grateful for your examples and your testimonies and even for your weaknesses!

Keep checking back for details about our next activity.

Welcome to MY World - Aug. 3 Activity

I hope many of you are still checking in here every now and then. I again sincerely apologize for slacking in my blog-keeping duties.

But. We have an activity coming up in less than 2 weeks! This is not just about our new sisters. This is about all of us reconnecting, learning something new, and strengthening friendships.

The details:

Tues. Aug. 3

7 p.m.

at the church

nursery provided

**Bring: an item that you feel represents something about you. This doesn't have to define or represent you as a whole person. This item should simply illustrate some quality about you, or some passion you have, or something important to you, or represent a defining moment, etc...

After some games and sharing our items, we will have a YUMMY ice cream sundae bar!!! Delish toppings and ice cream.

So please come and get to know your ward-sisters a little better. You never know what you have in common!!

Better Late Than Never!

Here is one of the recipes from our Summer Salad Social!

I think that I will just scan and paste the rest of them here. I have no patience to re-type them all :)
