April 7th, there is a baby shower for Melissa Sparks and they are looking for baby sitters for 2 hours for her kids at the church, so she can be at her shower, the shower is at 12:00, it would be a great service and could be used for personal progress. Just contact Sister Wilton, if you can help.  Thank you!

This Wednesday we will be meeting at the church to watch the General Young Women broadcast.  It is a great broadcast!  We are so blessed that we can hear from General YW leaders and our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson. 
We will also be getting started on pillow cases.  

Fast Sunday

Fast Sunday will be this Sunday March 25th, 2012 due to General Conference the following weekend and Easter in April.

Wednesday Happenings ~ March 21st, 2012

This week we will be doing family history.  I LOVE family history.  On our last youth temple trip I was able to prepare about 20 of my family's names to be baptized and confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  One of those names was my dear, sweet Grandpa Oien.  I was surprised and touched when Zack got up in Sacrament meeting and spoke of his experience in the temple when he said he got to do a special name and he felt more of a connection to him.  I know that we are doing the work of the Lord.  We are so blessed to be able to do this work and have this spiritual connection to our family members who have passed.  It is an amazing feeling to be touched by the spirit!  I hope that everyone can make it this Wednesday to get started on preparing your family history.  Please bring a family pedigree chart.

Love, Sister Tollefson
