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

January Presidency Message
Dear Sisters,
In the thirteenth article of faith it states, “We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things”. The Lord wants us to be filled with hope as it can point us to a brighter tomorrow and change the quality of our lives today. We have been sent to earth to be “tried and tested”. As we go through trials, hope has the power to fill our lives with happiness. If we are wondering if we’re equal to the tasks that are given us, we can turn to the Lord and he can deliver peace and hope. Hope is knowing that whatever comes, the Lord can whisper peace. We can strengthen our hope in Christ by striving to be more obedient to the commandments, studying the scriptures, and by strengthening our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We pray that as we begin a new year that it will be a priority to have a renewed hope in Jesus Christ.
With love,
The Relief Society Presidency
