Our lesson this week was on "An Ensign to the Nations" by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. We discussed that an ensign is a flag, banner or sign to symbolize a particular thing. General conference is for everyone - members of the church and those not yet baptized. As we prepare for conferences (general, stake, ward or even church each Sunday) we need to remember a few things. We will receive revelation if we are prepared, we need to proclaim the things we know are true, we need to tune in in tune to the messages being taught and we need to act upon the promptings we receive. Elder Holland quoted President Harold B. Lee when he was talking about all the different messages that may be shared in conference, the gospel is to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the [comfortable]." Tamara encouraged each of us to read the tribute given to the prophet at the end of Elder Holland's talk.

We were also challenged to make an ensign for our family this week. Some ideas given were a picture of the temple or as simple as a bandana on a stick.

Next week's lesson will be taught by a member of the Bishopric.

The lesson this week was on the conference talk given by President Uchtdorf - "Waiting on the Road to Damascus". We discussed that we need to do our part in becoming converted and be a disciple of Christ - we should not need a huge event before we believe. There were 4 things that can help us along our road to Damascus; belief comes one step at a time, harken and heed, serve and share. "...let us not wait too long on our road to Damascus. Instead, let us courageously move forward in faith, hope, and charity, and we will be blessed with the light we are all seeking upon the path of true discipleship."

Next week is general conference which will be broadcast at the Woodgate chapel.

This week's lesson was on a talk by Sherri Dew - "Stand Tall and Stand Together". Tamara wanted to thank everyone that submitted spiritual experiences to her and participated in the lesson today. We discussed how we are here to help each other. We need to follow promptings we receive to visit or call another sister, we need to share the gospel with those around us, we need to "build the kingdom of God and save souls".

"The most effective way to share the gospel is to live it. when we live like disciples of Christ should live, when we aren't just good but happy to be good, others will be drawn to us because we are "distinct and different in happy ways," as President Kimball prophesied ("The Role of Righteous Women," Ensign, Nov. 1979, 104) . Happy about the way we've chosen to live, happy because we're not constantly reshaping ourselves in the world's image, happy because we have "the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost" (1 Ne. 13:37), happy to stand tall so that we may stand out." Sherri Dew

Next week's lesson is on Chapter 36 - The Family Can Be Eternal.

The lesson this week was taught by Sister Johnson (Stake RS Presidency) and President Spackman. We discussed the importance of worship and some ways to worship - through scripture study, at church and in the temple. We were encouraged to spend a little more time worshipping those things that are really important in our lives and a little less time on other things that might take up our valuable time. We were also reminded of one of the stake goals - to be worthy to receive and honor our temple covenants. We discussed the purpose of the temple which is to connect men and women with God. We are connected with God through the covenants we make at baptism and when we attend the temple. President Spackman challenged each of us to take some time in the celestial room of the temple to contemplate what we learned there and even reverently discuss these things with a close friend or spouse there.

4. The RS Anniversary party will be April 21st - if you still have not sent a picture or had one taken, please let us know so we can get one of every sister.
5. Mark your calendars for the Stake Women's Conference on May 14th - it will be a fun evening.

The lesson this week was Chapter 29 - The Lord's Law of Health. We discussed that we need to do and have everything in moderation. As we follow all the do's and don'ts of the word of wisdom we will be blessed. Everybody has their own struggles in this life - the word of wisdom might not be one of those struggles for us but we must have unconditional love for others as they face their trials in this life.

Next week's lesson is October 2010 general conference talk "Never Leave Him" by Elder Neil L Anderson.
