Lupes Note's ~ Dec 18, 2011

Good evening, hope you had a good day. One week left.

THOUGHT: “Every sister who stands for truth and righteousness diminishes the influence of evil. Every sister who strengthens and protects her family is doing the work of God. Every sister who lives as a woman of God becomes a beacon for others to follow and plants seeds of righteous influence that will be harvested for decades to come.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                           M.            Russell Ballard

Good evening sisters. Another great Sabbath.

Lupe's Notes ~ Dec 4, 2011

Good evening sisters, what a wonderful Sacrament Meeting we enjoyed today. The Spirit certainly was in attendance.

THOUGHT: “Do you read the Scriptures, my brethren and sisters as though you were writing them a thousand, two thousand, or five thousand years ago? Do you read them as though you stood in the place of the men who wrote them? If you do not feel thus, it is your privilege to do so, that you may be as familiar with the spirit and meaning of the written word of God as you are with your daily walk and conversation. Elder L. Tom Perry

Lupes Notes - Nov 13, 2011

 Good morning sisters. Yes, I am late. I got a new computer and had to wait until my program was installed.

THOUGHT: “We treasure the word of God not only by reading the word of the scriptures, but by studying them. We may be nourished more by pondering a few words, allowing the Holy Ghost to make them treasures to us, than by passing quickly and superficially over whole chapters of scripture.”

Henry B, Eyring

ANNOUCEMENTS:

1. It's our ward's time to clean the kitchen. We will be there on Tuesday at 10:30 am. If you have some time and can help us, you are welcomed. Thanks.
2. The missionaries are offering 15 minutes to ward members from 6-8 pm. Choose a date and contact them. It would be a great opportunity for your children to visit with them. Contact Brother Sandor.
