June 2006 message, “Renewing Covenants through the Sacrament,” is centered on our Savior, Jesus Christ. We make & keep sacred covenants and promise to always remember Him. We can remember Jesus by not only thinking of him, but by being like Him. As children we are taught to think of Jesus during the sacrament, I still think of Him but now I find myself thinking about how to keep our son quiet, and possibly end up making more noise in the process. We purchased a board book for our son …

Click on some of the images to get recipes if you need them, otherwise buy the pre-packaged ones. Note: If you …

I really do love them, it’s just busy. So, these treat ideas are for Supervisors, Coordinators &/or Relief Society Presidencies to motivate the sisters (mainly me) to do their Visiting Teaching. Obviously you’d have to print these more than just 1 time, so I have designed business card sized tags for each with 10 on each …

Today’s Treat is so great, it’s also a great enhancer.
