Our dear sisters,
This month we have the opportunity to listen to general conference and receive instructions from the prophet and other church leaders. We encourage you to review what will be taught during conference and strive to encorporate it into your daily lives.
At the most recent general Relief Society broadcast Sister Beck shared with us the importance and blessing of belonging to a women's organization with as much purpose and potential to do good as Relief Society. Relief Society was restored as the priesthood was restored and we have the priviledge and responsibility to assist the brethren in their efforts to uplift and bless the lives of individuals and families.
"When our purpose is clear, it naturally follows that there is an appropriate way to carry out our responsibilities. Let us review how the faith-based work of Relief Society is to be administered. One of the most precious commodities we all have is time. Most women have many responsibilities and never have sufficient time to do everything their hearts and minds want to do. We show respect for the Lord and the sisters when we use Relief Society time in an inspired way.
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught: “A wise man once distinguished between ‘the noble art of getting things done’ and ‘a nobler art of leaving things undone.’ True ‘wisdom in life,’ he taught, consists of ‘the elimination of non-essentials.’ ” President Uchtdorf then asked: “What are the nonessential things that clutter your days and steal your time? What are the habits you may have developed that do not serve a useful purpose? What are the unfinished or unstarted things that could add vigor, meaning, and joy to your life?”5 We can apply his questions to all Relief Society meetings and work." Julie B. Beck
Our hope is that you will cherish your membership in the Relief Society and appreciate the opportunities that it gives you to find fellowship, service and spiritual strength in a world of increasing uncertainty and struggle.
With love,
The Relief Society Presidency

september Presidency Message
Dear Sisters,
This month my first presidency message and lesson is inspired from the November 2008 General Conference talk entitled “Returning Home” given by Elder Eduardo Gavaret of the Seventy. He tells of his fond memories of his home growing up and the comfort and peace that he felt there. These feelings of belonging and comfort that we find with our families can also be found with our church families. He talks of their missionary efforts in Peru reaching out to over 1,700 names of members have returned home to wards and branches. “They accepted the invitation made by priesthood leaders, full-time missionaries, and others who took upon themselves the responsibility to help them return to Church and come unto Christ. To each one of them, we say, “Welcome. Welcome home!”
We have recently had the wonderful and exciting opportunity in our ward of “welcoming home” both families that have moved into the ward, new members of the church and members who are returning with us again. We are so glad to have you with us! I urge those of you who see new faces to introduce yourselves and get to know these new members of our ward family. To those of you who haven’t joined us lately we invite you to join us. I know that the Lord knows each of us by name. He loves us and wants us all to return to him. At times in our lives we might feel like we are far from him but he will always reach out to us, always love us and always invite us home back to him.
With love,
Christine Beaulieu

Price is Right
Just a note to let everyone know we had a BIG winner on the Price is Right today. Breanna a friend of Lisa Vega, Adele's Granddaughter won a Mini Cooper convertable car!! She also won a device to put into your car to protect you from hitting things??? She is a starving student and this will really make things easier for her! What a sweetheart she is. I am so glad she was able to take the LAST available ticket! Then she overslept this morning and Lisa actually roused her out of bed. She wasn't the only one we got out of bed this morning. I want to thank Erin Ellsworth for being such a trooper when I showed up at her house this morning (unannounced) to make her go with us. We had a sister get sick and couldn't go. So Erin joined us at the spur of the moment. That girl was ready in 10 minutes looking beautiful I might add!! Thanks to her hubby for fixing her breakfast too! We had Adele and Bruce Lingenfelter, Bryan and Becky Burton, Myself and my son Shaun, Lisa and Breanna, Trisha McAbee, Christina Hales, Erin Ellsworth, Margarita Pierson, and Kristen, Jamie, and Bettie Thompson. What a fun group. I think we smiled all the way home! We are planning another trip soon.
Love to all Wanda May

August Presidency Message
R.S. Presidency Message
Sisters,
Our lives are full of routines. As we continue to take care of our family, work or volunteer in the community, it is important that we take care of ourselves spiritually. Each of us have been given the gift of the Holy ghost after baptism. This new companion stays with us as we walk down a righteous path on our journey to return back to Heavenly Father. Our goal is to fill our lamps with the light of Christ to illuminate the way. Countess sources in the church allow us to put drops of this precious oil in our lamps. It is our desire as a presidency that the choices you make every day help you walk in the light.
Love to you all,
Catherine Burke
