A warm thank you to Sister Mary Alice Ewart for our Sunday lesson. Sister Ewart focused on a talk given by Elder Uchtdorf. On why God loves us.
God does not look on outward appearances. I believe that He doesn't care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely.
Sisters how blessed are we to know of all that love from our Heaveny Father.

Did You Think To Pray
Sisters we can't pray enough. Heavenly Father is just waiting for us to talk with him and receive the blessings he has in store for us.
Sister Bray offered some suggestions on preparing to pray:
Listening to hymns
Putting your thoughts in order
Finding a quiet place to pray
Praying out loud
Having a pencil and paper available for inspirational thoughts
Thank you Sister Bray for the wonderful lesson.

Survey Survey Survey
Sisters we have a new survey to fill out. Each of you are very important to us, so please take the time to fill it out and return it to one of the Relief Society Presidency members. Thank you so much.
Presidents Message
Welcome to our Blog Spot and News Letter. As your new Relief Society Presidency we are grateful for this opportunity to serve you. We are each trying to find our niche and discover how we can best serve you and our Heavenly Father in this new calling.
Kasi Asay is our secretary; she is very willing to serve and brings a youthful perspective to our meetings. I know you will grow to love her. Kasi will only be with us until they go to school in August, so enjoy her while you can!
Janet Kinser will be serving as the Relief Society weekday counselor. She is very capable and has a strong testimony of Relief Society. I am grateful for her knowledge and her "doing" attitude. We can look forward to learning new ways to fulfill the purposes of Relief Society during our weekday activities as we:
Increase our faith and personal righteousness.
Strengthen our families and homes.
And serve the Lord and his children.
Jill Carpenter is our new Education Counselor. Jill has been involved in church education for many years. She has served as an Especially for Youth councilor, and has a love of learning. I appreciate her willingness to share her talents with us as a presidency and with you also. She will be a great strength to our Relief Society.
I am Susan Wilkerson. I have had a love of Relief Society for as long as I can remember. At a very young age I remember attending Relief Society with my mother. What fun we had. As a teenager my mother served as Relief Society President and I was able to see first hand the love and service she gave. As a mother I have always felt a need to attend Relief Society, not just because it gave me needed time out of the house, but because I knew that I had friends at Relief Society and I knew they were trying as hard as I was to live the gospel.
I love Sister Allred's quote from the October 2009 General Conference
"Every righteous woman has a significant role to play in God's plan and the building up of His kingdom. Relief Society needs you, and you need Relief Society."
We are especially grateful for the loving care we have all received over the last few years from Sister Holzer, Sister May, Sister Emmett and Sister Bassett. Thank you for your many hours of service and for the love and concern you have shared with us. May God bless you with your needs and in your future callings.
