Bread of Life--Pictures and Recipes

What a great night, ladies!!

Can you believe how beautiful and delicious those breads were?!  Thank you so much to Ronda and Krista for sharing recipes and demonstrating.  We can't wait to give them a try on our own!

We are also so grateful to you, Korin and Joyce, for your well-prepared, inspired messages.  We felt the spirit and learned things we did not know before.  May we all have testimonies as pure as Mason's, and may we discover the type of seed we are and do our best to grow and thrive!

Some pictures for your enjoyment.  
The recipes can be found at the bottom of the post.

Look how GORGEOUS!!












Yorkshire Pudding
Krista Green

Milk
Bacon fat

Mix flour, salt, egg, and a 1/2 cup of milk together.  Stir in more milk until creamy.  Line cupcake tin with two spoonfuls of liquid bacon fat.  Whip in air to mixture.  Slowly ladle in half a tinful of mixture, keeping it filled with air.  Bake at 425 degrees for 15-25 minutes.  Pudding is done when golden brown.  If baked in a loaf pan, bake 45 minutes.

Bread of Life -- Activity Tomorrow Night

Hello Sisters (and Laurels!),

There is something we are going to need your help with.  It's pretty important because it's a job way too big for just one person.

The job is.......

This.  

Eating this.

That's right.

Tomorrow night will be our RS meeting!  It's bound to be a fun, delicious, uplifting evening.  We hope you are able to make it, and to bring others with you!  This activity will be in Sister Andreasen's home.  We can park in her driveway and on the same side of the street as her home.  For easiest parking, please consider carpooling.  In fact, we would encourage you to reach out to those sisters who are a part of your Circle of Angels to be sure they are told/reminded of the activity and also to help with carpooling efforts.

Laurels, we would love to see you there if you can make it!  (and extra points for bringing your wonderful leaders with you!)

Andreasen Home
13002 S 29th Place
7:00 PM

With bread baking lessons from Ronda Simpson and Krista Green, and mini lessons from Korin Peterson and Joyce Reed, we are looking forward to filling our both bellies and our spirits together.  See you tomorrow!

Childcare for Ward Temple Night

Brother and Sister Frederick have offered to watch children at their home for parents wishing to attend Ward Temple night.  Please call ahead to coordinate.

Sunday Lesson for Jan. 10

Sister Hartigan blessed us with a lesson that both fed and uplifted our spirits.  Thank you, Sister Hartigan!!  You can click here to revisit the lesson, Ch. 1 ("Jesus Christ--Our Only Way to Hope and Joy") of the new Howard W. Hunter manual. For those not with us yesterday and for any who want to keep the message in our minds a bit longer, the following quotes can offer some great counsel.

"Please remember this one thing.  If our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ and his restored gospel, nothing can ever go permanently wrong.  On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and his teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right...."

"We must know Christ better than we know him; we must remember him more often than we remember him; we must serve him more valiantly than we serve him.  Then we will drink water springing up unto eternal life and will eat the bread of life."

If you wish to prepare for next week's lesson and discussion, you will find Ch 2 ("My Peace I Give Unto You") by clicking here

The Faithful Visiting Teacher

“The Faithful Visiting Teacher, who quietly goes about Her Work Month after Month, is just as important to the Work of the Lord as those who occupy what some see as more prominent positions in the Church. 

Visibility does not Equate to Value.”
-Pres. Howard W. Hunter

January Presidency Message


The Errand of Angels
Boyd K Packer once said, “Strong Relief Societies carry a powerful immunizing and healing influence….” As a Relief Society Presidency we have been praying for the inspiration to know how to strengthen our Relief Society.  The answer we received was powerful!
In the beautiful Hymn ‘As Sisters in Zion’ we sing,

The errand of angels is given to women;
And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human,
To cheer and to bless in humanity’s name.

It is not enough to sing it.  We must DO it!!  As we become ANGELS on the Lords Errands, to cheer and to bless one another, we will see and feel the powerful influence Boyd K. Packer promised.  We look forward to a year of Errands and the blessings we will receive as we heed these promptings!

Relief Society Presidency
