So much service

We see so much service blessing the lives of both givers and recipients. Thank you for caring for and loving neighbors close to home and further away.


General Conference… just 16 days to go!

Didn’t Marlene Safsten’s talk in Sacrament meeting get you excited for the upcoming General Conference? She reminded us of the guidance President Nelson has offered in recent conferences, and she shared her family members’ responses to this question: “How do you like to prepare for conference?”

*What are you doing to prepare for this blessed weekend?  


What we’re talking about

Last Sunday,  Shannon Acor led us in a great discussion of President Nelson’s conference addresses “What We Are Learning and Will Never Forget.” I seem to forget things faster than ever these days… So reviewing this talk from last April was a good thing! In his message, President Nelson asked us to “Think back on the past two years. How have you grown? What have you learned?” The answers from our RS sisters were varied and thought-provoking.


What we’re reading

This week our Come Follow Me reading is D&C 102-105, “After Much Tribulation … Cometh the Blessing.”

In times of tribulation, I love listening to this beautiful meditation offered by Sissel in the 2019 Pioneer Concert with the Tabernacle Choir—Know that He is God.


Family History

FYI, the Springville Family History Center has a new website with useful information: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Springville_Utah_Family_History_Center.

The Family History Center was briefly open with limited hours, but has decided to adjust their reopening plan and follow the temple phases to protect staff and patrons. The Center is currently open with limited hours by appointment. Appointments can be made online by visiting https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Springville_Utah_FamilySearch_Center/Appointments and clicking the Reservation link.


Happy Birthday to you

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
