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."

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.
