THOUGHT: “We are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness....We are the Lord's hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us.” Thomas S. Monson

I apologize for my voice and hope you will be able to understand me. We will talk about Temples. We will hear about stories of sacrifice, of the service we can render.

Lupe's Notes ~ Oct 16, 2011

Good evening sisters, hope you have enjoyed this wonderful day.

THOUGHT: This great circle of sisters will be a protection for each of you and for your families. The Relief Society might be likened to a refuge—the place of safety and protection—the sanctuary of ancient times. You will be safe within it. It encircles each sister like a protecting wall.”

Boyd K. Packer

BIRTHDAYS: Happy Birthday to Kailee Ruth Fisher on October 19^th.

Our lesson today was SIGNS OF THE SECOND COMING presented by Amy Waldron.

Well, I even brought a centerpiece, my first one ever. Janet made it for me last year for my 40^th birthday. I am now 41. If you remember the lesson on “The Postmortal Spirit World', today's lesson relates to that lesson. We quickly will go through that lesson. The pre-existence, mortal life, death, spirit world, resurrection, millennium, final judgment and degrees of glory.

Today we will be talking about the Signs of the Second Coming, before the Savior comes again. The first question is Why do we care about the signs of the second coming? I have been a little ambivalent about the issue. Have even felt that some people have gone a little overboard about it. It gets a little wacky. Just beyond. They seem to focus too much on the signs. I had a friend who, whenever he prayed, whether it was over the food, or whatever, always would say, please have the second coming come soon. I think it is important, but feel uncomfortable about some of the signs. So the question, why do we care?
