Dear Sisters,

This week our lesson was from Chapter 20 of the Joseph Fielding Smith manual, Love and Concern for All Our Father's Children. Ultimately, we can learn to love our neighbors, as ourselves, if we understand the doctrine that we (you and I !!!) are a Child of God. President Smith says, "I believe it is our solemn duty to love one another, to believe in each other, to have faith in each other, that it is our duty to overlook the faults and the failings of each other, and not to magnify them in our own eyes nor before the eyes of the world... If we will do this, respecting all the commandments of the Lord, we shall be a power in the world for good; we shall overwhelm and overcome all evil, all opposition to the truth, and bring to pass righteousness upon the face of the earth." If you are struggling with someone this week, try to find "one good thing" about them. Remember who they really are- a Child of God.
Next week, we will hear from Sister Stacey Wilhelmsen as she teaches from our latest Conference addresses: Sister Cheryl Esplin's talk ,The Sacrament- a Renewal for the Soul and a talk by Elder James J. Hamula, The Sacrament and the Atonement. Please print out and bring these talks with you.

The lesson this month can be found here. To make Visiting Teaching a rewarding experience for everyone, consider the following questions: Are you able to make arrangements for your children when you go visiting teaching? Have you prepared a message from the Ensign to give to your sister? Do you and your partner pray before visiting your sisters? Do you do your best to set up an appointment to visit your sisters? Is there a special event in your sisters lives that needs to be recognized this month, i.e. birthday, anniversary, etc.? Temple: There is a sister in our ward who goes to the temple and is willing to give others a ride. If you are interested in getting a ride with her, please talk to Sister Pam Eames and she will pass your information along. Do any of you sisters speak Spanish? We have a non-member (investigator) in our ward who could use some fellowshipping. If you speak Spanish, will you please contact Sister Eames and let her know. Birthdays- Happy Birthday to Sister Krystle Danner this week on the 22nd! We hope your day is fantastic Sister Danner! Have a wonderful week!
