Dear Families and Friends,
This week has been a lot of fun as the Halloween festivities have begun. Our branch had a trunk or treat type activity, but instead of cars, each family signs up to decorate a classroom in the church building and hand out candy there. We decided to set up an area with a Halloween backdrop where families could take their family Halloween pictures. We set up this quote from The Family:A Proclamation to the World :”Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.” We encouraged families to post their family photo on social media and say what helps them build a strong family and use the hashtag #sharegoodness. There was also a chili cook off and dessert contest. We had to leave halfway through though so that we could help judged the city’s costume contest at their Halloween event called the Boozar. The library is in charge of it and since we volunteer at the library, they asked if we could help out! We also passed out some candy at the local flower shop where we also do service occasionally.
Before I got here some people in a truck backed into our car and tomorrow it goes into the shop to get repaired. That will leave us with just our bikes for about 10 days or so. The area is mostly highways, so it should be an adventure. Extra prayers for safety are appreciated!
Elder Oaks was quoted in Conference as saying this: “Healing blessings come in many ways, each suited to our individual needs, as known to Him who loves us best. Sometimes a ‘healing’ cures our illness or lifts our burden. But sometimes we are ‘healed’ by being given strength or understanding or patience to bear the burdens placed upon us.”
Thanks for all your love and support!
Love,
Sister Prue
