Results of Our Latest Service Project

Hello, Ladies!

I am so pleased to announce that our combined efforts made the Write It Out service project boot camp a huge success!!  In conjunction with other women across the net, we made 165 journals to be used by women who are grieving the loss of their husbands to war.  This has been a wonderful project...and as always it has been a pleasure serving with all of you.  Thank you, thank you!  Here are some of the journals that we made for the project!

Also, I have changed the name and address of this blog.  We are now officially "The Lewisburg Service Society"--a group of women, mostly living in Central Pennsylvania, who will serve together whenever we see a need.   I did this to clarify that although most of us are members of the Lewisburg Ward Relief Society, this website functions independently of the church.

PERSONAL PROGRESS--Good Works Value Experience #3

Mosiah 18:7-10, one of the ways my daughter chose to comfort or help cary other people's burdens is by preparing, cooking and delivering 3 meals to the home of an old brother at church who lives by himself and was just diagnosed with early stage Dementia.

"PERSONAL PROGRESS"

One of the things that is keeping me busy is working with my daughters in accomplishing their goals in the 1) Primary "Faith in God" Program and 2) Young Women's "Personal Progress" as shown above. I don't only help them but i am actually working on my own goals in the "Personal Progress". Some of the blessings that i personally received is keeping myself in tune with the Spirit as I help my husband raise our children and working full time as a nurse in the hospital at the same time. It also helps me be more patient and diligent in helping, motivating and encouraging my daughters work on their own goals remembering that the greatest service we will ever perform is found within the walls of our own home. It also uplifts me spiritually when i go back and read my thoughts and feelings about my experiences as I work on a goal, it gives me spiritual energy. Most importantly, President Eyring on his general conference talk counseled parents not to reject but to love the youth.

My family is my greatest source of happiness. My daughters are most precious to me and i am willing to die and sacrifice for them.

I encourage and challenge you to get your own copy of the "PERSONAL PROGRESS" pamphlet and start working on it too, i promise you an outpouring of the Spirit in your life.
