Building Families June 2013 Relief Society Evening Meeting

Our June Relief Society was a HUGE success!  Our room was overflowing with Sisters, and that is the BEST!  Thank you to our wonderful Additional Meeting Board...you are so wonderful and I am extremely grateful for you!

We started out our evening with Mari F. doing a presentation on Temple Symbals.
Thank YOU Mari for your well prepared presentation!  It was amazing and I learned so much!  I should have been taking notes, there were so many wonderful insights that I really appreciated...the spirit was felt in abundance...What a wonderful opportunity we have at this time in history to have Temples so available to us today.  There multi-faceted teaching, from the architecture to the work that is done within the walls...beckons us to a higher level...turns our hearts and souls Heaven bound.  What a blessed opportunity it was to attend this meeting.
     We would also like to thank Fred F. for the loving AV support he offered his wife, it was really great!

We then traveled to the seminary rooms where Jessica V. enlightened us about family indexing!  She gave us technical direction and filled our hearts with the spirit of the work.  Her sweet testimony and her great enthusiasm encouraged us to be active in the work of Salvation!  Here is a link to the website so you can get started... Family Search Indexing Download the program and enjoy the blessings of this inspired work in your homes!

Another thank you to Todd V. who also came and gave technical support to his wife...what wonderful men you are and a great example of holders of the Priesthood.

Finally...we gathered together to enjoy some wonderful heirloom desserts and beautifully prepared displays of family artifacts of some of the Sisters in our ward.

 Emily's Grandmother was one of the first female pilots in the military!  I love that...Emily obviously comes from a strong, independent female heritage...what a sweet gift!

Beautiful laces made by Sandra T's Grandmother!  Tatting and lace making is a beautiful art form!
