Visiting Teaching Reminder and Announcements

Sisters,

One more week to complete October Visiting Teaching! Don't forget to report to your supervisor. She needs to get a call from you, whether or not you visited this month.

A Red Cross Blood Drive sign up sheet was passed around. If you didn't have the chance to sign up, and would like to, contact Lael for details.

We will be playing volleyball this Wednesday, at 7 pm at the 15th/16th ward building. Coed volleyball is at 8 pm.

We had a excellent lesson by Sister Casperson this week on Elder Eyring's Ensign talk, "Help Them On Their Way Home." We talked about how Heavenly Father set up a system of rescuers in life to help us on our way. This system is not limited to the atonement. We all have a calling to help rescue those in need, especially in the formative young years in life.

"Of all the help we can give these young people, the greatest will be to let them feel our confidence that they are on the path home to God and that they can make it. And we do that best by going with them. Because the path is steep and sometimes rocky, they will at times feel discouraged and even stumble. They may at times become confused about their destination and wander after less eternally important goals. These inspired programs make that less likely because they will lead the young person to invite and receive the companionship of the Holy Ghost."

Have a great week!

Repentance Lesson

We had a wonderful discussion yesterday in RS led by Lauren Guevara. The lesson was from the Gospel Principles Manual on repentance, but we talked mostly about what it meant to have Godly sorrow that leads to repentance, and eventually to joy.

Do you think of repentance as a thing of joy? Is that hard to do? Do you think repentance comes naturally, or is Christian repentance something that has to be learned?

I know the hour wasn't long enough to get all the great comments in. If you have anything to add, feel free to add it to the comments.

Super Saturday

Super Saturday will be October 23, 9-1:00. Lunch will be served at noon (chili, cornbread and pie). Nursery will be provided.

Next Sunday is the last day to sign-up & pay! All fees must be paid to XXX by next Sunday, October 17. No exceptions. You can also just come to chat, or tie quilts. If you haven't had a chance to sign up, the craft information and costs are below.

V.T. and Upcoming events

Visiting Teaching: As this is the season for so many people to be sick, not feeling well, or out of town- we wanted to remind you about visiting teaching.  If you're not able to make an appointment with the sisters you visit, please try to call or even leave them a note:  This counts as visiting teaching, and helps you to keep in touch with your sisters.  So even if you can't meet with your sisters, you can still check on them, make a contact and let them know you are thinking of them.  Please continue to try to meet with your sisters, but know that if you're not able to meet them personally it still counts towards visiting teaching if you call, or leave a note.  The purpose of visiting teaching is to let the sisters know you care about and love them.  Thanks!!

The Best is Yet to Be

Hey Elders.

Here is a highlight from our quorum lesson on Sunday. We hope to use it as a sort of theme for the month of February. Share it with your families and friends. Go over the talk with them together if you want. It comes from Jeffrey R. Holland's talk, "The Best is Yet to Be" in the last conference edition of the Ensign.

"Faith is for the future. Faith builds on the past but never longs to stay there. Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the 'high priest of good things to come' (Hebrews 9:11). Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away."

Elder's Quorum: Get to Know the Logan 1st Ward Blog

Sorry sisters to be moving in on your territory. We will try not to ruin your beautiful blog. Those of you who might be new to the blog, here are a few features you may want to get familiar with:

If you look to your left, you will find clock that shows you how much time you have left to do your home teaching. Below that are a number of links (including a link to the home teaching message for the month) and other church sponsored or related sites. If you have never visited the church's Family Search site or the Mormon Channel, check them out. They are pretty neat.

On the right, you can search the blog to find past posts. Below each post, there is a "Comments" link where you can leave your suggestions, ideas, or anything else you choose to share. The Relief Society includes monthly calenders in their posts as well which you might review for upcoming events and dates.
