January 2025 Ministering Handout
Happy New Year Everyone!
Hope your holidays were filled with love and laughter! Do you love the new year and the thought of organizing everything? Or is it just me? I love a new beginning! 
Welcome to the month of Gratitude! Fall is finally in the air here in Utah and as a result I am a happy camper!
This month I chose gratitude for the theme!
And I concentrated on being grateful for a living prophet. I used the prophet’s talk that he just gave in the Oct 2024 General Conference. It is titled “The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again”. Didn’t you just LOVE this talk? I am so excited for when the Savior comes again…I just worry about what more we will have to go through before that happens! But President Nelson assures us that “The Best is Yet to Come!”
Hey everyone! Happy October! I love the fall time with the cooler weather and the leaves changing colors and that it is finally sweater weather!
However, here in Utah…it is not quite sweater weather yet…it has been in the 90’s!!! But we will get there.
Let the Summer begin! I am ready…are you?
This month for the June 2024 ministering handout, I chose the talk from Susan H. Porter: “Pray, He Is There”. Don’t you love this quote:
“When you know that Heavenly Father is real and that He loves you, you can live with courage and hope!”
Given that it’s summer, I wanted, sunshine-inspired colors to brighten everyone’s day.
Another month has already gone by, which means it is time for the May 2024 Ministering Handout.
May always seems to be such a busy month, and it is holding true for us again this year. Besides all of the end of school activities, we have a wedding, lots and lots of doctor appointments, spring cleaning and remodeling, and baseball games! Whew! Busy but exciting times.

April 2024 Ministering Handouts
Happy April everyone! Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to conference…I know I am! Since Easter has already passed, I decided to go with an April Showers theme! I also knew that I wanted to do something on service, so this is what I came up with!
March 2024 Ministering Handouts
Where oh where did February go???? It just seemed to slip by in the blink of an eye and it is already time for the March ministering handouts! 
Easter is in March this year, so I knew that I wanted to do something with a quote on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Here is what I came up with…not one quote…but two! Continue reading
Jan. 2024 Ministering Handouts
Well…hello new year!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, and you are now ready for a NEW YEAR! I love new beginnings and new possibilities! It seems like a great way to start out a new year! In a world filled with despair and wickedness, with problems and pain, we should strive more than ever to have hope.
So, for my Jan. 2024 Ministering Handouts I wanted to bring out the value of hope! This is going to be my word or emphasis for this year. We all can strive to have greater hope!
Dec 2023 Ministering Handout
Happy Holidays everyone!
Hope all is well and you are filled with the Christmas spirit!
Our family is getting started with our annual Sinter Klaas Party the first weekend of December. It is always a fun way to welcome in the Christmas season. This tradition started after our oldest son came home from his mission to The Netherlands and we have been doing it ever since! We have had to change up what we do to adjust for the ages of our grandchildren, but everyone seems to love it and we don’t have to compete with the other families for a date!!
Nov 2023 Ministering Handouts
Hey, everyone welcome to November! I love this time of year when the weather is a little cooler and you can enjoy being outside…even if it’s to do fall cleanup in the yard!
A little tidbit about me, that you probably don’t know…we installed a greenhouse this last summer and I am learning all about planting and propagating and I am hoping to start a lot of my flowers from seed this winter! I am not doing a vegetable garden, I am doing a cut flower garden. I love it and I have a ton to learn! That is why I enjoy being outdoors.
Anyhow, the message this month is about having gratitude in our circumstances. Pretty sure that a lot of you remember this talk, given by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf...”Grateful in Any Circumstances”
