June 2023 Ministering Handout

Hey Everyone!  Welcome to the June 2023 Ministering Handout!

I hope you are all doing well and are ready for summer!  I have been working like a crazy old lady out in my yard.  I am so excited, because I am getting a greenhouse!!  I am going to learn how to propagate, plant from seed, and re-grow all kinds of plants.  I am not trying to grow a big vegetable garden, but rather a cut flower garden!  It is so fun and I am learning so many new things.  I’ll show you pictures when it is all installed and ready to go.

So throughout this process I am learning about the importance of bees and butterflies and that is what lead me to the theme for this month!  So here’s the Buzzz…. Continue reading

May 2023 Ministering Handouts

Happy May to Everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and enjoying Spring.  That is, if it is Spring where you live!  Here in Utah, we are finally getting some warm weather, but our state is in great danger of flooding with all the snow melt!  Yikes!

This month for the ministering message, I wanted to honor all women in honor of Mothers Day.  So therefore,  I chose President Nelson’s talk, “A Plea to My Sisters”

I am sure that many of you will remember this talk.  It was given in Oct 2015 Conference. Continue reading

April 2023 Ministering Handout

Hey everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and enjoying a beautiful Spring.  Here in Utah, it is still winter with more snow in the forecast!!  Ugh!  But I am excited for all the water and we definitely need the moisture, so I guess I need to quit complaining!

This month for the ministering message, I have had a song playing over and over in my mind.  So, I decided that I needed to incorporate it into my message for this month. Continue reading

March 2023 Ministering Handout

Hi everyone! The old March winds have blown in along with more SNOW!  I know we need it here in Utah…but could it please just snow up in the mountains and not on my driveway!!!  :)

This month for the March 2023 Ministering Handout, I chose a quote from President Russell M. Nelson.  But I found it in the talk from President Ballard, titled “Follow Jesus Christ with Footsteps of Faith”.

There are several things going on in my life right now that are making me think about how strong my faith is and ways that I can increase my faith.  So I have been dwelling on this quite a bit lately. Continue reading

Hey everyone, it is time for the February 2023 Ministering Handout!

I hope all of you are just a little bit warmer than we are here in Utah!  It is freezing this week!  It just makes me want to stay home and curl up with a good book all afternoon. (I may need a nap also!) Continue reading

 Jan. 2023 Ministering Handout!

I love January and the new BEGININGS!  I am not one to make a lot of resolutions, but I do like to start new things and learn new things…this year is no different.  Are you as excited as I am to learn more about the Savior’s life in the New Testament?

This month, for the Jan. 2023 Ministering Handout, I have chosen one of Pres. Nelson’s talk from last conference, titled: “Overcome the World and Find Rest”

Hey everyone, I am so excited about the Nov 2022 Ministering Handouts!  The message this month comes from the ENTIRE Oct 2022 conference talks! The idea for this handout comes from my good friend, Becky Burgess Eastmond.

Because she is the one that did all of the work putting all of these conference quotes together!  As a result, you get to benefit also!  Thank you so much Becky, for letting me share your talents here on Pink Polka Dot Creations. Continue reading

Hey everyone, hope all is well with you and you are ready for Autumn to begin!  I am so ready, but there is just one small problem…it is still in the upper 90 degrees and even 100 degrees all week here in Utah!  It is pretty hard to get into Sweater Weather just yet.

August 2022 Ministering Handouts

Hey everyone!  Happy August!  Can you believe it?  Our grandkids are going to be back in school in a couple of weeks!!  Whaaat???  Where did the summer go?  

Sometimes I can be a little bit of a broken record, when it comes to back to school time.  I have such a strong testimony about education and developing our talents.  And every year at this time, I start thinking about these things.
