MONDAY MEMO March 11 - 16


Dear Sisters!

I almost forgot to get this info out! I've been dusting and vacuuming for the baby shower at my house tomorrow night! That threw me off of my semi-annual routine.

There is springtime in my soul today.....the flow'rs of grace appear!

Have a lovely week!

FREEZER MEAL IDEAS

Suggestions - use disposable pans from Dollar Store or freeze them laying flat in a ziploc bag so they will stack!

Debbie Shepherd pushed the time of her book party back to 8, so you may drop by the shower and then her place after - more treats!

FAVORITE THINGS
NOTE THE DATE CHANGE BECAUSE OF SPRING BREAK - April 10th at 7:00 pm is our Ward RS monthly meeting for April. We will be having a "Favorite Things"night...just like Oprah used to have! (Well, perhaps on a slightly smaller scale than hers...but definitely will still be fun and informative, and exciting because YOU might even get treats or win a prize!) You won't want to miss this fun night! Here's how it works:
  • We all know your favorite things are really your family and the gospel...but, we're talking about your other favorite things...you know; that mascara that never smudges, or your grandma's amazing oatmeal cookies, or the auto mechanic who is honest and does a great job! We want to hear about those kinds of favorite things!
  • Come prepared to "show and tell" about one of your favorite things. 
  • If you'd like, you can bring a sample to share. This is how you can share: let's say, you want to tell everybody about that honest auto mechanic. Well, maybe you could just print out his contact info on little pieces of paper and give everyone a copy, or ask him to give you a bunch of his business cards. Or, you want to share your grandma's cookies with us; how about making a batch and letting each sister have a cookie, and make copies of the recipe for us! What about that fabulous mascara? Bring a sample of it so the sisters can see it...and if you want (but don't have to) you could even donate the mascara to our raffle drawing and one lucky sister will win it at the end of the evening! Maybe your favorite thing is how you can cut open and slice an avocado without getting it all mushy...well, don't just tell us about it...gives us a demonstration!!!  Have we got you thinking now???? :-) It's going to be a great night!
FRUIT TREE PRUNING DEMO

HEAVENLY FATHER REVEALS HIS GOSPEL IN EVERY DISPENSATION
One important way that God shows His love for us is by calling prophets, who are given the priesthood—the power and authority given to man to act in God’s name for the salvation of His children. Prophets learn the gospel of Jesus Christ by revelation. They in turn teach the gospel to others and testify of Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer. The teachings of prophets are found in sacred books called scriptures. 

Our Father’s plan for us to be successful in this life and to return to live with Him is called the gospel of Jesus Christ, with Jesus’ Atonement at the center of that plan. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can receive eternal life if we exercise faith in Jesus Christ, repent, are baptized by immersion for the remission of sins, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. “This is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ” (2 Nephi 31:21). All people have the gift of agency, which includes the freedom to accept or reject the gospel as taught by the prophets and apostles. Those who choose to obey are blessed, but those who ignore, reject, or distort the gospel do not receive God’s promised blessings. (Preach My Gospel: A Guide to Missionary Service, Lesson 1: The Message of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ)
