January Calendar!!
Hope you can read this. At least you can see the dates and what's on them.
If you can't read the message from the First Presidency, I will type it for you...
President Henry B. Eyring
Happiness for those we love...
"From accounts in the Book of Mormon and for many of us, from our own experience, we know that the gift of happiness is well marked. We also know that maintaining happiness is not easy unless, as with the Nephites after the Savior's visit. 'the love of God' dwells in our hearts."
Also at the bottom, this is the quote..
"This beautiful gospel is so simple a child can grasp it, yet so profound and complex , that it will take a lifetime--even an eternity---of study and discovery to fully understand it. But sometimes we take the beautiful lily of God's truth and gild it with layer upon layer of man-made good ideas, programs, and expectations. Each one, by itself, might be helpful and appropriate for a certain time and circumstance, but when they are laid on top of each other, they can create a mountain of sediment that becomes so think and heavy that we risk losing sight of that precious flower we once loved so dearly."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Oh, and by the way...thank you Kathy for doing the calendar each month. It's a lot of work putting it together and finding great quotes to help and inspire us!!
January Activity...
Come put packets together for new babies born here in the Cedar hospital. We have a non-profit organization called "Great Beginnings" that has been in existence for the past 8-10 years. We have the new parents of the new babies watch a video that stresses the importance of reading to their children every day from the day they are born. It's amazing the effects it has on the children. How prepared they are entering school and their success in life. And it also provides quiet and quality time with the parents. Bonding time!!! So we put together packets to give to them before they leave the hospital. It has information in it that will help parents understand this very concept. And it also has 4 books that they can take home and start reading today. Most of them, after seeing the video, open the packet at the hospital and start there. It's awesome!! So we are going to be putting the packets together for our service project. We will be meeting at the church first and then riding together over to the warehouse where the books are stored. We may even have a potluck. So plan on it
January 20th
6:30
Meet at church
We may have you bring your favorite treat??? Don't know yet!! Still planning!! But please mark that date on your calendar!!
Goals for our Relief Society for the 2016 year..
1. To develop and gain a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ, and then be truly converted.

We have a plan in place to help accomplish these goals. We hope you will come and join with us and be a part of our success. We pray that we will be inspired as a presidency to help all of us achieve this together.

December 9th...A Christmas Celebration!!
The Christmas Party was a huge success too. We had over 150 people come and had great food. Actually we ran out but that's what we hope for every year. Kathy and Dennis Hansen and Mandy and Jared Black were the committee chairs and they did a great job. There were other families that helped and it was a lot of fun. Just fun to get together and visit and see our neighbors. Thanks to all who helped and to all who came.
Super Saturday was a huge success!!
Our November 7th Super Saturday was so fun. We had tons of crafts and tons of ladies come. If the crafts weren't a motivator, then the soup and bread sticks were. It was a great day. Sorry if you missed it. Great fun!! No pictures because I was at the hospital with my dad. Sorry. But we will do better in the future!! This could be sisters in our ward, but it's not!!
New sisters in the ward...
Boy...missing a couple of months in our ward makes a huge difference. Especially when it comes to move-ins and move-outs.

Brendan 8, kailey 5, and RaeAnn 1. Melinda is very shy and really wants to come to church so she said if you see her, don't talk to her!!! She's funny!! They could sure use some fellowshipping!! Cookies would be great!!
Kortny Bagy has moved onto Pinecone in a basement apartment. 439 is the house number. Brice is her husband and Taylie and Hurley are their kids. We welcome them too.
Sharyl Morgado has been to our ward several times before because she is the mother of Carisa Wood. But she is officially in our ward now. Sister Cowley, that lived in the apartment next to the LaMarca's moved to the care center and so Sharyl moved in. We are thrilled to have her in our ward!!
We lost cute Sister Brianna St. Andre. They moved up north. But we gained a wonderful family there. The Corry's. Brittney and Daniel. Their address is 1530 Sunset. They moved in and she had a baby the very next week. They have a 2 year old, Hanson and a brand new baby girl. YEAH!!! So glad to have them.
