Dear Sisters,

Thank you Sister Emilee Diehl for teaching lesson #6, Sustaining Those Whom the Lord Sustaineth.  We discussed different ways in which we can sustain our leaders, like responding positively when asked to do something, refraining from criticizing, and praying for them.  We also talked about how the Lord's qualifications for a calling are different than we may perceive.  He knows us the best and what we can do, what we need to improve upon and what can help us become more like Him.

Next week's lesson will be Teachings for Our Times will be based on the following talks: General Conference-- No Ordinary Blessing by President Uchtdorf, and  Preparing for General Conference from this month's Ensign.
Next week is also Fast Sunday due to General Conference the following weekend.

Please remember to pray for our Focus Five sisters by name. We are having good experiences with these sisters and your prayers matter.

Happy (belated) birthday to Hadlee Rose (Mar. 13th), Kristen Lindsay (Mar. 14th), Cindy Zoltan (Mar. 19th), Susan Jorgensen (Mar. 22nd), and Janel Gleason (Mar. 24th).
