February Presidency Message

Dear Sisters,

President Uchtdorf councils, “If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made

it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on
what matters most.” Our Father in Heaven does want us to “rejoice”. He wants us to be
happy. “Man is that he might have joy.” How do we find joy is such a fast paced world?
We should try slowing down, and focusing of the basic principles and doctrines of the
gospel… the things that matter most. President Uchtdorf states that, “These principles
and doctrines of the gospel will lead us to the peace, joy, and understanding that
Heavenly father has promised to His children who hear and obey Him.” Let us simplify
our lives a little that we may make time for the things that matter most.

Love,
The 8th Ward Relief Society
