November Presidency Message

Most of us just enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving feast, and we numbered the many blessings that we have received from a loving Heavenly Father! This month, as we celebrate the birth of the Savior, we have the opportunity to partake of a SPIRITUAL FEAST, by increasing our effort to draw nearer to Him. As we contemplate His miraculous birth, His perfect life, and the reality of His atoning sacrifice and glorious resurrection, let us strive to center our lives in Him - through fasting and prayer, studying and pondering

His teachings, and through following His supreme example of unselfish service. It is our hope that amid the hustle and bustle of the season, that each of you will find a quiet moment to feel His love for you, and

to express your love to Him. May our hearts be filled with gratitude and joy as we celebrate His life this Christmas season! “O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!”

Merry Christmas!

Under The Umberella of Self Reliance- October

October is Family History Month and although some run scared at thought of putting all those names together, there are other ways to get involved in family history. You could display pictures of your ancestors, learn about the countries they came from and adopt some of their tradtions, visit your grandparents and start recording their childhood memories, call a "long lost" cousin and re-connect. start a family facebook page. You may just get the family history "bug" and start preparing all those names. Once those names are prepared, be sure to download onto a cd or flash drive and include it in your 72 hour kit.
