July Presidency Message

Count your blessings name them one by one…Whenever I am feeling discouraged about my struggles I am facing, I remember the words to this hymn to remind myself that the Lord has given me so many blessings. Certainly, one of the greatest blessings we have all been given are the freedoms we enjoy from being citizens of this great country.
How blessed are we to be free to worship the Lord as we choose? To be able to live and work where we desire? To choose the occupations that interest us? To travel freely? To raise our families as we see fit?
This month we celebrate our nation’s independence. While we are all enjoying the wonderful summer weather, good food and fireworks, I hope we can remember the military men and women who sacrifice their time, their families and sometimes their lives in service to all of us who are blessed to be living in this great land. We owe them a debt of gratitude we can never re-pay.
Last year President Uchtdorf spoke at a fireside honoring our military members. He invited a family to speak whose son had been killed in Afghanistan. The father said he has been repeatedly asked by many people, “What can we do to help?” His answer was this, “Pray for the soldiers; remember them in your prayers. That's what you can do for us, and that will mean the most to us.” This month I hope we can all try to honor this father’s wish. Love, Trisha White

June Presidency Message

 Every spring I am amazed when the plants star growing and life returns to my garden. It bewilders me as fresh green shoots reach up into the sky, knowing that they began as teeny little seeds. Each year it seems like a miracle all over again. I've learned many lessons in my garden. The first time I planted carrots I remember thinking, "I can barely even see these puny little seeds. Can these possibly grow to be carrots?" but just like the primary song says, "Faith is like a little seed: if planted it will grow." (Children’s Songbook, 96–97) My carrots did grow and I learned a lesson in faith.
"Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith, ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." (Alma 32:21) There are lots of times in life when we can't see the end. We don't know how things will turn out or why we are faced with challenges or trials. Often in these times all we can do is have faith; faith to press on and faith to do our best in following His will…even when we're not sure of the why and how.
President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a conference talk: ―This is my prayer for all of us. … Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. … Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. … Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequences follow.‖ (―Lord, Increase Our Faith,‖ Ensign, Nov. 1987, 52–53)
This too is my prayer, that we will exercise faith in our gardens of life and grow to be the women God wants each of us to be. Love, Natalie Kahumoku

May Presidency Message

President Thomas S. Monson said at the close of the recent General Conference. "May we long remember the messages we have heard and as we receive the issues of the En-sign magazine which will contain these messages in written form, may we read and study them. We face challenges in the world today, but I assure you that our Heavenly Father is mindful of us. He loves each of us and will bless us as we seek Him through prayer and strive to keep His commandments… May we be good citizens of the nations in which we live and good neighbors in our communities, reaching out to those of other faiths as well as to those of our own… May we be examples of honesty and integrity wherever we go and in whatever we do."
We love the sister in our Ward Relief Society and pray that as we all study the messages given in this last General Conference we will be strengthened in our testimonies and our abilities to live the gospel in our lives. Then with that strength we will be able to help our families and one another. Sincerely, Olivia Anderson

April Celebrates our Savior with Easter

Although Easter is a time for family traditions and fun, this holy day is the time we commemorate the most sacred religious event in the world’s history—the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Here are some ideas to help you focus your celebration of Easter on the Savior:

Commit yourself to read the scriptures every day during the month before Easter, particularly the accounts of the Savior’s ministry in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and 3 Nephi.

 Prepare a family home evening lesson on the Atonement and give the lesson the week before Easter.

 Read conference addresses given by General Authorities on the life, Atonement, and Resurrection of the Sav-ior.

 During each day of the week before Easter, read about what Christ did that day. (See Matt. 21–28; Mark 11–16; Luke 19–24; John 11–21.)

 Do what Christ would do if he were here: spend time serving others.

 Make a list of the ways the Atonement affects your life. Put the list in your journal and review it often.

 Watch the sunrise on Easter morning. Think about the beauty of the earth and the sacrifices of its Creator.

 On Easter morning give each member of your family a small picture of the Savior. Write a note or your favorite scripture on the back.

 During the sacrament, make a concerted effort to worship the Savior and Heavenly Father.

 Share your testimony of the Savior and his Atonement with your family, your ward or branch, or a nonmember friend. Make sure your actions reflect what you know to be true.

 Memorize a scripture about the Savior’s Atonement.

Here are some suggestions: Luke 22:44; John 6:51; John 10:17; Rom. 6:9; 1 Pet. 2:21; 1 Ne. 11:33; 2 Ne. 2:7; Mosiah 26:23; Alma 11:42; Morm. 7:5
