Once again everyone, I had fun talking to you all! It's great to hear everyone's thoughts on the things we study about. Here are the minutes for this month:
Opening song:
Opening prayer: Mom
Announcements:
Mary: Lucy is doing well. She is getting a partial retainer (did I get that right?). It will keep the space where her permanent teeth are supposed to be so she can get the implants when she is older. Mary is pregnant and the baby is doing well.
Tiffany: Jacob made W2 yesterday. Hooray! Tiffany has lost 13 1/2 pounds doing weight watchers and should loose 30 by Rebekah's baptism. We've had blizzard conditions here, and it's been FUN.
Nettie: Tustin turned 5. Naomi took 3 steps yesterday. Travis isn't sure if he will be fishing for work this summer due to the licensing issues going on this year. He might do construction this year. They are getting a high tunnel for their garden this year. The government is going to reimburse them the cost of the tunnel, for seeds and for irrigation, and in return they get to keep the crops and have to report on how well it works. (how awesome!)
Rachel: Samuel is turning 3 and Matthew just turned 1 this week. They are having a party at Mom's house today to celebrate. Henry is going to Brazil for about 3 weeks to take care of business there and Teresa is going also.
Mom: She is making Dad's Davy Crockett costume for his choir performance, and has also been doing sewing repairs around the house such as curtains for the boy's window.
Mom asked us to find something in nature that is a type of Christ. Mary's was a worm. It eats the dirt and turns it into something good. Christ took persecution willingly and takes the lowliest of us and makes it into something good and wonderful. Nettie's was the sun. It is the light of the world just as Christ is. Tiffany's was also the sun. In the winter we know the sun will someday return just like we know Christ will one day return.
The things of note we noticed in our reading of the Pearl of Great Price were:
Mary: At the end it kept saying to keep these things sacred and not show them to people that don't believe.
Tiffany: Jacob noticed that all things were created spiritually before the earth was created and man, Adam, was the first thing created in the flesh and put in the Garden of Eden.
Nettie: Moses 5? tells of keeping a book of remembrance. It reminded her of the importance of journaling things and also brought to mind Samuel the Lamanite and how he asked the people did they not remember the signs and things which were told onto them. Did they not write them down?
Meeting our goals for the month:
Tiffany is loosing weight with Weight Watchers
Mary is going to work harder on being a good missionary and giving out pass along cards
Nettie is going to get going on Weight Watchers (it's worth it ned!)
Our next meeting will be on food storage and cooking. We each need to collect recipes from food storage only items and come back with reviews: Did you like it? Was it worth the effort? Would you make it again? Mary will get to us with more information on it later.
Next meeting: March 26th
If I missed anything, let me know or go ahead and edit the post
