Sisters -

My apologies for not having the RS Lesson links from June & July on the blog!  A bit of a computer issue at my house (and my lack of technical intelligence, truthfully) have been the problem.  But I'm back at it & ready to go!  Thanks for your patience.

We were beautifully taught by our bishop on the last Sunday of July.  We apologize for the recording - the recorder cut off about halfway through his amazing lesson.  Please listen to what we have.  We hope it will inspire you to ponder & pray over his words & his timely topic.  We know that you will be uplifted by his words.

Here is the link for the Bishop's lesson:

We were lucky to hear from our 2nd Counselor, Yvonne Rodabough, on the first Sunday in August.  She spoke on the theme: Forget Not Your Ancestors & Your Heritage.  She did a wonderful job & asked some thoughtful questions like "What kind of ancestor will I be?  What will the heritage be that I leave for my children, grandchildren?"  Great lesson!  Here is the link:

We are grateful for our faithful leaders who teach us the truths of the gospel!

With love,
