Quilting Wrap-up

 

Shortly after the devastating earthquake in Haiti we wanted to find a way to contribute relief to the victims of disasters like this.  As a presidency, we soon settled on the idea of making quilts and we asked for your help.  The results have been phenomenal!  Together, we found the time and the resources.  We assembled, bound, and tied seventeen thick and cozy 90" x 90" quilts and two baby quilts.

Many hands make light work....

We plan to deliver the results of this project to the bishops storehouse this Saturday.  We're trying to round up the last few quilts that were distributed to be tied so if you have one, please contact Holly or myself.  We'll do our best to get pictures up of the total finished project.....all stacked up it looks like a full size mattress!

Again, as a presidency, we'd like to share our love and appreciation for each of you, always, and especially in working together in this effort.  It's been a pleasure!  We love you.

Visiting Teaching Message--April

“The temple is a house of learning. Much of the instruction imparted in the temple is symbolic and learned by the Spirit. This means we are taught from on high. … Our understanding of the meaning of the ordinances and covenants will increase as we return to the temple often with the attitude of learning and contemplating the eternal truths taught. … Let us enjoy the spiritual strength and the revelation we receive as we attend the temple regularly.”4
Silvia H. Allred, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency.
