Chicken Soup for the Soul – February Meeting

Our Relief Society focus for February was emotional health. To stick with the theme we had a chicken soup for the soul night. We had yummy soup made by Fawn Olsen & Narie Young and rolls made by Janet Youngberg!

Following our soup and rolls we were privileged to hear from President Lamm. Here is a brief outline (thanks to Kathie Bergquist) of what he spoke about and a few of the great quotes/sayings he mentioned.

Moses 1 Moses is taken up high in the mountain, talks with the Lord face to face.“Thou art my son”/shows him the workmanship of His hand

This was all done for you!

After this experience, Moses was left alone, pondering, realizes I am nothing without Jesus Christ.

Adversary shows up-“Moses, son of man! (lie-should be God)

Moses says-“Get thee behind me” but Satan hangs around

When Moses says “In the name of Jesus Christ-depart” Satan leaves.

The Lord says for mine own purpose, I made these things and it remaineth with me-like “I know what I’m doing and you don’t need to know why."

There is no end to my works and word.

Moses 1:39 This is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Each day on “to do” list of Heavenly Father-what’s on the top of the list? YOU!

Took trip to Germany-saw lots of nice cars: Mer Benz for 400,000-plus extras/Lambroginni/Ferrari What price would he pay for you.

Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy the sunlight-Pres Hinckley

Finding Balance – January Meeting

We had a lot of fun at our January Meeting! We started the night off with a game of floor hockey. It was a great way to burn off some energy and have fun playing with each other. We have some very competitive sisters in our Relief Society!!

After our floor hockey game we enjoyed listening to Sister Susanne Hoopes and Sister Lucille Bergquist. They used an episode from the Mormon Channel to base their talks on. The link is here if you would like to listen to it. Both Sisters gave wonderful talks on how to find balance in our lives by prioritizing and focusing on the most important things.
