Sept 2023 Ministering Handouts
Happy September everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the end of summer and the beginning of fall…or you are enjoying whatever season it is where you live!
Here, the kids are all back in school and things are back to a more scheduled life. I love the fall time! It is a season of gathering and learning. 
Hey everyone, Happy July! It is time for the July 2023 Ministering Handout
Hope you are all enjoying your summer and that you are getting to spend time with your family and friends!
This month I wanted to go with a patriotic theme and what is more patriotic than the “Title of Liberty”?

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.

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.

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.
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
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!
Happy New Year Everyone! I am excited to bring you the January 2022 Ministering Handout!
I love the new year! It is a fresh new page to the story we are going to write in 2022. Do you like to set goals? I like to make goals that I can work on all year or that I can continue working on from year to year. How about you? 
Welcome to December…the most wonderful time of the year!! Do all of you feel that way? I love December in the fact that we all turn to Christ and think of others more. We need to do that all year long, but I love the fact that we have a whole month dedicated to Him!
For the December 2021 Ministering Handout this month, I chose a talk from President Thomas S. Monson titled, “The Best Christmas Ever”.
Well here it is…time for the November 2021 Ministering Handouts!
Of course, this month most of us turn our hearts to gratitude. Which we should really do every month. But I think we concentrate on it more in November. Continue reading
