2000 stripling warriors in the Bountiful Handcart Days parade

The 2000 stripling warriors in the Bountiful Handcart Days parade video was talked about yesterday in Sunday School so I thought it might be good to post it here. I hope you enjoy and feel some inspiration from it!

Welcome Kathy!!

We have a new 1st counselor in our presidency. Sister Kathy Smith has joined us and we are so excited to get to know her.

Super Saturday is over and I think everyone who came had a wonderful time. As always nothing goes by without it's issues but we were able to work through them and have a great time. Thanks to all who put together crafts and classes. I know that some crafts were unable to be completed and classes had few in numbers so if you are interested in having a make up day please comment and let me know.

Here are pictures. Enjoy!

Super Saturday Sign-ups closed!

Sign-ups are now closed for Super Saturday. You can still come and participate in the free crafts and classes such as quilting and crocheting pot scrubbers and grippers, Stress relief, bread demo, FHE, and home management classes or just come and enjoy the socializing and lunch. Bring your friends and neighbors, your mom's and sisters. We will have a blast!!

February Visiting Teaching Message

The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Good Shepherd

As we come to understand that Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd, our desire increases to follow His example and serve those in need. Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. … And I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10:14–15). Because of Christ’s Atonement, none of us will ever be so lost that we cannot find our way home (see Luke 15).

President Thomas S. Monson said, “Ours is the responsibility to care for the flock. … May we each step up to serve.”¹

From the Scriptures

Psalm 23; Isaiah 40:11; Mosiah 26:21

From Our History

Elizabeth Ann Whitney, who attended the first Relief Society meeting, said of her conversion in 1830: “As soon as I heard the Gospel as the Elders preached it, I knew it to be the voice of the Good Shepherd.”² Elizabeth followed the voice of the Good Shepherd and was baptized and confirmed.

We too can hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and share His teachings with others. President Monson said, “We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children.”³

Just as a shepherd seeks out a lost sheep, parents may seek after a child who has wandered. President James E. Faust (1920–2007), Second Counselor in the First Presidency, said: “To those brokenhearted parents who have been righteous, diligent, and prayerful in the teaching of their disobedient children, we say to you, the Good Shepherd is watching over them. God knows and understands your deep sorrow. There is hope.”⁴

What Can I Do?

How does knowing that the Savior is the Good Shepherd bring peace into our lives?
How can I support parents whose children have wandered from living the gospel?
