Eternal Sisters

This a poem shared by Betty Roberts:

ETERNAL SISTERS

Oh, look! She's coming!
Isn't it wonderful?
She's doing my work for me today
And she's smiling because she's here.
I'm so glad. I prayed that she would be happy today
And that she would leave her worldly cares outside
So she can sense that I am here with her,
And that I am thrilled to finally have my
Temple blessings so I can progress.
It's been such a long time...
I'm so glad that she is concentrating
On all the blessings she is receiving for me.
There are tears in her eyes.
I hope that she feels that, I too, have tears in mine.
How beautiful these blessings are!
How sweet and humble the ordinance workers are
And I really liked eh new name I received.
Isn't this a glorious endowment room!
Everyone looks so beautiful all in white.
I'm so glad they are all reverent
So I can understand the tokens, signs
And covenants I am making today.
How beautiful her voice is as she
Talks to the Lord through the veil...
The celestial room is magnificent and so peaceful
And now---I'm so glad she is kneeling at the alter for me
So I can, at last, be sealed to may family.
Thank you, dear sister, for doing this work for me today!
I must leave you now
But when you arrive in the Spirit World,
I will know you.
I will throw my arms around you
And I will thank you...and I will love you!

Plums!!

Gayle Nielson has a plum tree in her back yard that people can help themselves too. You might need to bring a ladder for the higher plums. You are welcome to come get a bag or buckets full.

Job Opportunity

June Burrow's daughter Michelle Tuttle informed me that the company Flowserve (located in Springville across from Stouffers) is hiring and they have 30 job openings. Michelle said it's a great job and they usually start out around $11.00 - $12.00/hr for the first 3 months. If you are interested you can go to their website at www.flowserve.com to apply or get more information. Also, if you mention Michelle Tuttle referred you then she receives credit for that.

HYGIENE KITS!!!

Our Ward is collecting the needed items to put together hygiene kits. Please bring any of the items on this sheet to church and place in one of the baskets outside of the Chapel, Primary room, or Relief Society room. We thank you for your help!
Hygiene Kits provide disaster victims with basic items necessary for health and cleanliness.

Or, if you would like to pitch in to buy a kit with someone else, or wish to buy one yourself, please contact someone in the RS Presidency. They are $4.37 each and you can make the check out to Mandalay International. Thank you.

Alice Fay Cox Simons returned to her Heavenly Father on June 22, 2011. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family and loved ones.

She was born July 17, 1921 in Fairview, Utah to Jehu and Emeline Cox. She married the love of her life, Jay Simons, on August 2, 1939 and they were later sealed in the Manti Temple. Together they raised 3 children, and were blessed with 19 grandchildren, 49 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren whom she loved dearly.

She had a lifetime of service to others and was a tremendous source of hope for all. She was a member of the LDS church and served faithfully as a Sunday School teacher for 17 years, a Relief Society Teacher, the Junior Sunday School Presidency and an ordinance worker in the Provo Temple. Alice retired from Barbizon after 25 years of service and previously to that she had worked in the Troy Laundry in Provo.

RS Directory

We are putting together a RS Ward Directory. We need you to email a picture of yourself to Muffin ASAP. You can email it to her at mufninc@gmail.com. It just needs to be a good picture. We do have some that have been taken but they are relatively old. If you want the one in the Relief Society Directory of you to be new and updated send it to muffin. :) Thanks Ladies!
