Happy Mothers Day book of Quotes from our Prophet

I was asked by my ward to come up with something to give out to the women this Sunday on Mothers Day along with the chocolates.  My wonderful graphic design program bit the dust, so I had to create something on MS Word instead.  I think it turned out nice, and thought since I have so many hours into this project, others of you might want to use it for gift giving for your Mothers, wives, sisters, friends, etc. on Mothers Day. 

The quotes from the Prophets pages can be printed on one sheet of paper - two sided. The cover with the image, could be printed on a pretty pale pink, blue, cream or light tan for a nicer effect.  Remember to print, you have to click on each image, and save it to your computer and then you print from the file you saved it to on your computer. 

So enjoy!  Love, Katie G

 

Visiting Teaching: Making a Difference by Small and Simple Means Beyond Statistics

By Mary Ellen Edmonds

I have recently begun serving another service mission for the church.  I have already served 2 with my husband, and this one is just for me.  My husband was called to be the bishop of my ward a couple of years ago, and I wanted to do something more beneficial with my time, that he is away from home serving our ward.  So..... I decided to serve a service mission from my home.  I am a member of the LDS Response Team, and we are the ones who answer all the questions that people write in while on LDS.org.  Today, I took on a question about Visiting Teaching, and was so happy to do the research to help the Customer, as we call them, to find what she was looking for.  She was looking for a specific talk by Mary Ellen Edmunds, given at the 2011 BYU Women's Conference.  The talk is titled "Visiting Teaching:  Making a Difference by Small and Simple Means Beyond Statistics.  I didn't go to that Women's conference, so I was excited to find out about this talk and post the links for all of my blog followers to access as well as this particular customer.  She thought she would like to use this talk to be the focal point of a Visiting Teaching Conference.  I totally agree that this would be wonderful, so I thought I would share the links with you.
