Relief Society Updates
August 1, 2010


Jodi Dallof is teaching the lesson today titled “As I Have Loved You Love One Another.” In a recent Auxiliary Training meeting we were encouraged to remember our Savior and his example as we visit our sisters. Jesus dedicated his life to doing the work of our Heavenly Father. In humility he gave of himself, by manifesting the greatest love of all mankind. During his brief life on this earth he demonstrated the best example of loving service, even to the end of his life at the last supper when he washed his disciple’s feet. In John Chapter 13 we read the touching account about how he teaches by example as he washes the feet of his disciples, then gives the commandment to Love one another as He has done. He also tells us how happy we will be if we follow his example in John 13:17 “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”
Remember to “Love one another as He has loved us,” (John 13 34) and not only will we feel that joy in our lives, but that love and joy will spread to others around us.
We share a lot of love, as we have witnessed time and time again in this ward. The service rendered to each other is proof of the love that you have for our Savior and for each other.
In our ward there are many friendships, old ones and new ones being created. There is love among us through the loving compassionate service of all of you sisters, and there is enough love and strength that we can reach out past our ward boundaries and help others. I pray we always remember to follow our Saviors example and serve with humility. We love you sisters for all you do. May you all be blessed for your good works.

We will be wishing Happy Birthday this week to Chris Adam on July 29th, Debbie Adams, and Rebecca Haacke on July 30.

At this time of year, when we celebrate our pioneer heritage, we reflect on our own ancestry, and give thanks for all that was sacrificed so that we might enjoy the blessings that we have today. May we plan and prepare in such a way so that our children might live with as much bounty as we do. May we remember to teach our children and set the example that they might want to follow in our footsteps and continue on in a righteous journey.

Love,
