Happy Birthday to Jaycee Stevens! 

-Jaycee is beautiful and she makes her house beautiful.  

-I love how she is always willing to help, whether that's through listening, babysitting, or just being Jaycee!

-She is beautiful on the inside and out. Jaycee has a beautiful voice! She is a natural leader, a good friend, and a truly humble woman. 

-She is a great friend and made me feel welcome when we moved into the ward. Jaycee is also a lot of fun and very thoughtful. She brought us a delicious dinner when I was 38 weeks pregnant and overloaded with schoolwork

We hope you have a great birthday Jaycee! You are awesome! :)

Happy Birthday Samantha Shulca!

Here are some nice things that a few of the sisters in the ward had to say about her:

*Sam always has great comments in Relief Society.

*Her little man is adorable!

*Sam is a wonderful person and friend. She gives the best advice and is so down-to-earth. 

*She cares deeply for her family and is the best mom to Benjamin! I am grateful that Sam is in our ward; she brings a positive outlook on life and has a beautiful spirit about her. We are going to miss her and her family when they move away!

*She is always willing to help out and is a great listener. Tons of fun! True friend. Wonderful mother and wife.

*She cracks me up! :)

*Sam is beautiful inside and out!

We hope you have a fabulous birthday Sam! :)

Moving Out Procedures

Since so many of us are moving out, we just wanted to make everyone aware of how the moving out procedures should work. We really want to utilize the visiting teaching system.

If you are moving out and you need help cleaning, please let your visiting teachers know. (Also note, as a visiting teacher, please make your best efforts to be available if the sister you visit needs help!) If your visiting teachers cannot help you, then they should try their best to find someone else to help out. Also, if you know of the SPECIFIC time you are going to be cleaning, you can email us back and we can let all the sisters in the ward know. Then, whoever is available at that time and wants to help can! You can also let your visiting teachers know if you need help babysitting while you clean or pack if you prefer that instead.

For help moving out, the Elders Quorum should be sending a similar email to all the brethren in the ward and it will kind of work the same as this procedure, except with home teachers instead. 

If you have any questions, please email the Relief Society Presidency back and we will do our best to help you out. We hope that everyone who is taking finals is doing well and that those who are moving get the help they need! We are all busy, but we can all help each other. 

Thanks,

The Relief Society Presidency

A Good Woman

"A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy things her heart yearns to do. Life is not calm for most women, and each day seems to require the accomplishment of a million things, most of which are important. A good woman must constantly resist alluring and deceptive messages from many sources telling her that she is entitled to more time away from her responsibilities and that she deserves a life of greater ease and independence. But with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently."
- Sister Beck
