Mothers Who Know

A few years ago, Sister Julie B. Beck, then the president of the Relief Society, gave her first talk in General Conference.  I still remember hearing it for the first time.  I walked away from conference thinking it was one of the best talks I had ever heard spoken at any general conference.  Please take the time to watch, and take note of some of the attributes she shares that will make a successful home.


Wednesday night, we will be discussing Motherhood with women who know.  
Be sure to bring a head full of questions to ask them about parenting, marriage, teaching children the gospel, etc.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Save the Date: New Beginnings


We are excited to announce that our New Beginnings program 
will be held on February 13, 2013 at the church.  
It will be a special night!  
It will be so fun to plan this activity with all of you in the coming weeks.  
Mark your calendars!

Mutual

So, have I gotten behind or what?!  :)  
A few weeks ago at mutual, we discussed setting goals based on our Saviors example.  
Below is a picture of the handout we used to make specific goals that will help you increase in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.  
We hope you continue to take time to look at the goals you have set and make new goals as the year progresses.

January: The Godhead

Hey Ladies!

Sorry I have been MIA these past few weeks!  We have been traveling like crazy over the holiday season, and with a computer out of order for most of it, blogging just didn't happen.  I do hope you can forgive me.  :)

Tomorrow in Young Women, we will be introducing the new curriculum and answering any questions you may have.  We will also be setting some expectations for preparation for each Sunday's lessons.  Please come with questions!!!

This month, most of our blog topics will be focused on just one gospel topic: The Godhead.
All of our lessons this month in Young Women with also be on this topic.  Think you'll get bored?  Think again.  We hope you'll take the time to study the questions listed in the previous post to be familiar and ready to talk (a lot) during the lessons on Sundays.

To introduce this topic, I can't help but turn my mind to the glorious first vision, where the prophet Joseph Smith saw God, the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.  What a reverent and so very sacred experience.  I am so grateful for the faith of the prophet Joseph, to kneel in that grove of trees, and pour out his deepest desires to our Father in Heaven.  Because of this vision, we know better than anyone the nature of the Godhead.  I am forever grateful for this.

Just like the prophet, Joseph Smith, you can kneel and pray to Father in Heaven.  He will always answer your prayers in a way that you recognize and comprehend.  You can come to know your Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ better than ever before as you do this.  The Holy Ghost will be more abundant in your life to help you through trials, insecurities, and unsure times.

With the start of this new year, remember the words of the President Thomas S. Monson: "Your future is as bright as your faith."


Love,
Sister Salmon
