5. The building cleaning schedule has been passed around Relief Society.  If you don't know when your family is assigned to clean please contact Ben M..  Also, if you can't make your assigned week, it is your responsibility to trade with someone else.

As for the lesson, as it was the fifth Sunday, we had a joint Priesthood/Relief Society meeting and the Bishop taught about temples.  He said that he liked to think that holding a current temple recommend is analogous to the Jewish people putting the blood on their doors during the passover.  He said that it can offer us similar protection.

Have a great week!
