Dear Sisters,
I loved our lesson yesterday on being "anxiously engaged." I especially love the way you do serve, and do it with love, and without even a sign-up list. There is evidence all around our neighborhood of your love for each other. It is a blessing to live among you.
Some of your comments that stuck with me and inspired me:
- It's the little things - a smile, a hug, a text
- Time to stop and listen and I come away better
- Fed spiritually and learned "not to fear, the Lord will take care of my needs"
Visiting teaching is another way we can be anxiously engaged by giving us the opportunity to watch over, strengthen, and teach each other. A visiting teacher shows her love by prayerfully considering each sister she is called to serve.
May you all be blessed this week as you follow the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ, to love and serve in His behalf.
Much love,
jNae
MICHELLE LEWIS SURGERY
Michelle is having both knees replaced on Friday, March 29. Her daughter-in-law, Bonnie, is coming this week to help her for a week. Michelle should be out of the hospital and home to continue recovery on Tuesday, April 2.
The Relief Society (what a perfect name for this organization!) will provide meals after Bonnie leaves so that Michelle may continue to recover and mend. You may sign up on the Michelle Lewis Family Meal Google Doc.
ATTENTION: All YW and Mothers of YW going to camp this summer!
Sister Doxey needs a photo of each YW standing in a place that is holy to them. It can be a quick snap shot of the girls anywhere they choose... it could be their bedroom, their house, church, the temple, the mountains, the beach, school, ANYWHERE they feel the spirit. Please email the photos to Sis. Doxey at Lesliedoxey@Hotmail.com by March 31st. The girls have known about this for a few weeks and we haven't received any photos... so we're asking for the help of you Moms! :) If you already have a hard copy of a photo that you want to use you can just give it to Sis Doxey (no need to scan it)
Thank you!
Also some camp dates to remember as you're planning your summer:
4th year hike overnighter: June 4-5
6th year overnighter: June 6-7
Girls Camp: June 17-21
