Dear Sisters,

This week our lesson was given by Sister Shelby Hansen on missionary work and hastening the work.   Elder Ballard tells us that one of the reasons that we hesitate to do missionary work is because of fear. “With the help of the Lord, let me remove any fear you or any of our full-time missionaries may have in sharing the gospel with others. Make the decision to do what Jesus Christ has asked us to do.”  We had a great discussion about fear and how some of the sisters have worked to overcome their fear. Sister Hansen also referenced Elder S. Gifford Nielsen talk and showed the following videos: Sharing YourBeliefs We Are One

 Next week is Stake Conference. Please plan to attend the adult and youth (age 12+) session on Saturday night at 6:00 and the general session on Sunday morning at 10:00. This will be broadcast to our building.

Dear Sisters, 

This week our lesson was given by Sister Stacey Wilhelmsen on the topic of the Sacrament.  She referenced Elder James J. Hamula and Sister Cheryl Esplin talks from our last General Conference. 

Sister Esplin quoted Elder Holland when he said “One of the invitations inherent in the sacramental ordinance is that it be a truly spiritual experience, a holy communion, a renewal for the soul.”

We had great discussion about how the sisters in our ward prepare for and use the Sacrament as a time to renew their souls.  

Elder Hamula said, “The ordinance of the sacrament has been called “one of the most holy and sacred ordinances in the Church.”  It needs to become more holy and sacred to each of us.”

Next week, we will hear from Sister Shelby Hansen for our 1st Sunday discussion.

Announcements: (you’re going to need your calendar out)
 

Humanitarian Committee: Once a month, our Humanitarian Committee puts together some kind of activity to serve our community.  This month, they are collecting children's books and DVD’s for the Caldwell Public Library.

Trunk or Treat: Thursday, October 30th at 6:30 PM. Please remind your children to only go around once.  At 7:15, we will move into the gym and have treats and do some visiting.  Plan to attend and invite your neighbors!

Message from our Stake President

Message from our Stake President

Brothers & Sisters, 

I would like to invite you to participate in a "30 for 30" during the month of November. During each day in November, you will have the opportunity to listen to a message from one of our church leaders as part of your daily scripture study. You could listen as a family or as an individual. You could listen while at home, at work, or while driving. It doesn't matter how or when. If you would like to participate, send an email to 466808@ldsmail.net with a subject line of "30 for 30". You will then receive an email invitation to a website called dropbox.com that will have the thirty talks for you to download. They can be played from your computer or any mobile device. They are numbed from 1 to 30 to correspond with the days in November. We are blessed to live in a day when the voices of apostles and other church leaders can be heard so easily and conveniently. I promise that as you make the time for this endeavor you will be uplifted, inspired, and edified.

Thank you for all you do, and may the Lord bless you.

President Reid Stephan

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.

Dear Sisters,
 This week our lesson, titled In the World but Not of the World, was given by Sister Vicki Taylor. President Joseph Fielding Smith tells us that we live in a wicked world and because we have a greater light in our lives, therefore more is expected of us. We had a good discussion on ways that we are unique in the world: the Word of Wisdom, service, keeping the Sabbath Day holy, respecting the name of God, and the way that we dress.
 Next week, we will be discussing Chapter 20, Love and Concern for All Our Father's Children.

Dear Sisters,

This week, we were privileged to be taught by Sister Amy Erickson on President Uchtdorf’s talk from the April 2014 Conference titled, Grateful in Any Circumstances. President Uchtdorf teaches us that it is easy to be grateful when everything is right with our lives but when our world falls apart, gratitude seems to be far out of reach.  Elder Uchtdorf encourages us to be thankful in our circumstances, whatever they may be.  “When we are grateful to God in our circumstances, we can experience gentle peace in the midst of tribulation. In grief, we can still lift up our hearts in praise. In pain, we can glory in Christ’s Atonement. In the cold of bitter sorrow, we can experience the closeness and warmth of heaven’s embrace. We sometimes think that being grateful is what we do after our problems are solved, but how terribly shortsighted that is. How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain?” There is no lesson next week as it is General Conference. The following week, Oct 12th, we will be discussing Chapter 19 of the Joseph Fielding Smith manual, In the World but Not of the World.

Announcements:

Klinginsmith if you need directions or for more specific details.  Please take this opportunity to teach your kids about service- take them with you and work together as a family.

Enrichment- Tuesday, Oct 7th at 7 PM.  A recipe and thought swap.  Please bring a recipe for everyone to sample as well as a thought of any kind that motivates you.
