Jan. 2023 Ministering Handout

 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”

Dec 2022 Ministering Handouts

Merry Christmas everyone!  Hope you enjoy the Dec 2022 Ministering Handouts!

This time of year is always so crazy hectic for me.  It seems like we have all of our activities the first week of Dec!  After that I can usually settle in a little more and enjoy the holidays.  I know that some of you have a hard time with the holidays and I totally get that.  It can be a wonderful time and it can be a very difficult time.  I pray that whatever situation you are in that you will feel the love of the Savior and that he can warm your heart.

This month I chose a talk from the 2011 Christmas Devotional by President Thomas S. Monson.

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.

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.

Wow!!

This month for the July Ministering Handouts, I went with a patriotic theme.  I love Americana decor all summer long!

June 2022 Ministering Handout

I would like to welcome summer with my June 2022 Ministering Handout!

It does not feel like summer yet, here in Utah.  We have had rain and even snow up in the mountains this week.  But we really need the moisture, so nobody is complaining!

Because I grew up in Pleasant Grove, UT, I always think of strawberries in June!  Our town celebrations were called Strawberry Days.  I have some fond memories of my grandpa Jensen coming from Canada and taking us to the carnival…and always buying us a bowl of strawberries and cream! 

Thus the handout idea for this month!
