Job Opening

There is an jop opening in the BYU Records Office for a full-time student that is available for Winter Semester. You would work in the afternoons from 12:00pm-5:00pm with a manditory staff meeting from 8:00am-8:50am on Thursday mornings. You would get one afternoon off a week. There is a lot to learn, but the people are awesome (I've been here for over four years now), and if you are interested, just give me a call as soon as possible. I'm in apt. 112.

Congratulations to the Smith's

Congratulations to Roxanna Smith who had her baby on November 25th!

Happy Thanksgiving!

President Joseph F. Smith proclaimed: “The grateful man sees so much in the world to be thankful for, and with him the good outweighs the evil. How much happier we are in the presence of a grateful and loving soul, and how careful we should be to cultivate, through the medium of a prayerful life, a thankful attitude toward God and man!

Congratulations to the Otto's!

Congratulations to Page who had a baby boy yesterday!

Christmas Craft

The activity tomorrow evening will be so much fun!! We will be making a Christmas Craft, which is a cute, small wooden wall hanging that says "Joy." All of the materials will be provided, but the Enrichment Committee asks that you bring a paintbrush or stencil, if you happen to have one. See you at 7:00 pm in the B Basement!

Also, a reminder about MOM's Group tomorrow. At 11:00 am also in the B Basement, we will be making and writing Thank-you cards to get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday next week. We will also provide all supplies for that. (I just got some REALLY cute paper at a craft store!!)

It will be a very crafty day!! We really hope everyone can come.

Mothers Who Know, Julie B. Beck

"Who will prepare this righteous generation of sons and daughters? Latter-day Saint women will do this—women who know and love the Lord and bear testimony of Him, women who are strong and immovable and who do not give up during difficult and discouraging times. We are led by an inspired prophet of God who has called upon the women of the Church to 'stand strong and immovable for that which is correct and proper under the plan of the Lord.' He has asked us to 'begin in [our] own homes' to teach children the ways of truth."

CES Fireside

Elder Oaks will speak this Sunday, November 4th, at 6:00.

Highlights From the Change Presentation

Here are some of they key points of the lecture on change. Enjoy.

1. "It's not your job to change your spouse into what you want him to be." It's his job to be the best person he can be and it's your job to be the best person you can be.

2. "Marriage isn't about choosing a partner. It's about being a partner." Marriage should be 100%/100% on both sides. You might need to say, "If necessary, I will do everything in my marriage."

3. "You can really only change yourself."

4. "Understand differences, then you can adapt." Men and women are different.

5. "Understand needs, then you can care." Understand what it is that your spouse needs and they you will know how you can help and why things often happen the way they do.

Just because you have a persistent challenge doesn't mean you aren't measuring up.
Be a little more accepting of the challenges you face.

Faith

"Faith is the basis of testimony. Faith underlies loyalty to the Church. Faith represents sacrifice, gladly given in moving forward the work of the Lord." President Hinckley, Ensign, May 2001, 69

Coping With Change

On October 30th at 7:00 pm in the Multi Purpose Building, psychologist Dr. Bruce Carpenter will address us regarding topics such as depression, baby blues, and other problems that many of us deal with. The topic is entitled "Coping With Change." You can bring your kids and babysitting will be provided, and you are welcome to bring any other sister that you would like to.

New Babies

Congratulations to Kaori who had her baby girl yesterday and to Alice who had her baby boy today!

Welcome!!!

Welcome to the BYU 37th Ward Relief Society Blog! We're glad that you came. This is just another way for us to stay in touch with each other during the week. We would not only like to post Relief Society information regarding activities and things, but to get to know each other better. We are going to try featuring Relief Society Spotlights, favorite books, activities, and whatever else you would like to see on here. I am not the most technological genius around here, so I don't know how to simply let everyone post all the time, but if you would like to add anything, just email your suggestions to the email address listed above (reliefsocietybyu37@gmail.com) and I'll be happy to put it on for you. Also, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I think this will be fun, and definately welcome any suggestions. And so, with no further ado, lets have fun together...
