Relief Society Page


Dear Sisters,

Thank you Sarah Bean for teaching a wonderful lesson to us about being "active" in the Gospel as well as in the church.  We learned how we can better serve the sisters we visit teach and as we realize that visiting teaching is a privilege and not an obligation, we will love more, serve better and become more like our Savior. She used Elder Halstrom's talk "Converted to His Gospel Through His Church" from the April 2012 General Conference and President Uchtdorf's talk "Forget Me Not"from the October 2011 General Relief Society Meeting as reference material.

Next week's lesson will be lesson #9 Open Your Soul to the Lord in Prayer out of the George Albert Smith manual

Please remember to pray for our Focus Five sisters by name. 

Happy Birthday this week to Sally Rodriguez (May 11th).
