Ammon 25th Ward Relief Society

04/18/2024

Good Morning all you beautiful ladies!

Our service project is fast approaching. On THURSDAY May 16 from 6:30-8:00 we will meet at the church to work on MULTIPLE service projects needed for the Humanitarian Center. We will have MANY items tom complete so PLEASE reach out to your neighbors, your ministering sisters and invite them to come participate in this fun evening of service.

We know that our donation of our time and our monetary purchases allows the Humanitarian Center to accomplish their mission which includes: to prolong life, reduce suffering, foster self-reliance, prepare for individual, family and community emergencies, sustain life, not a lifestyle, promote personal responsibility, and provide an opportunity for individuals to serve their fellowmen.

"When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

The projects we have chosen to complete for this activity include:

* Braiding Jump ropes

* Coloring Folder activities

* Tying two baby quilt tops (please let us know if you have some quilt stands that we could borrow)

* Assembling Hygiene Kits

We also have 2 quilt top kits that need to be sewn if a couple of ladies that know how to do that could offer to help with those that would be wonderful. Please reach out to Kara Purcell if you are interested in doing that.

Our local Humanitarian Center sends out 100 Hygiene kits A WEEK! They are truly needed items, and we would VERY MUCH like to provide one weeks worth of kits (100 kits) for them to distribute if possible. I will be providing a list of the items needed along with how many we currently have to donate. While you are out shopping PLEASE keep these items in mind. The dollar store is an INCREDIBLE place to purchase most of these items.

We WILL have a container in the Relief Society room each Sunday with May 12 being the last day to collect so that we can purchase the necessary items to complete the kits. You may also drop items purchased off to any member of the Relief Society Presidency or to Mckenzie Williams.

A Single Hygiene Kit Contains:

> 1 bar bath size soap that is still in the wrapper.... (We currently have: 16/100)

> 1 comb..NO rat tail combs..... (We currently have 8/100)

> 1 Shampoo OR combo shampoo & conditioner 12.5 to 16 oz (We currently have 3/100)

> 1 Hand towel 15x25 inches (We currently have 27/100)

> 1 travel size facial tissue (We currently have 12/100)

> 1 6 oz boxed toothpaste (We currently have 25/100)

> 1 individually wrapped toothbrush ( We currently have 10/100)

We will send updates as we collect more items. We are truly grateful to all who have currently donated, and we look forward to working together to assemble 100 kits.

We are happy to put together a nursery for this evening. IF that is something you would be in need of so that you can come participate PLEASE let a member of the presidency know ASAP!

Please bring your favorite summertime munchie to share. We will have a couple yummy drinks available while we visit, and work together. We can't wait!!!!

WE LOVE YOU

Have a wonderful day!

Thoughts for the week:

We have to learn to see the message in our misfortune.

There’s no problem that can’t be made worse by murmuring about it.
-Holland

I often wonder, where am I in Lehi’s dream?

The biggest mistake you could ever make is being too afraid to make one

When poisons become fashionable, they do not cease to kill.
C. S. Lewis

Every single person has a story that will break your heart. And if you're paying attention, many people... have a story that will bring you to your knees. Nobody rides for free.

Be patient when becoming someone you haven't been before.

I pray that we can each learn what Heavenly Father is trying to teach us this week. ❤️🙏🏼

Thoughts for the week:

"No such thing as a life that's better than yours".
J. Cole

"There's no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections."

"When we have become distracted by the things that matter least at the expense of that which matters most, our Heavenly Father will sometimes interrupt our lives with adversities in order to get our attention.
Elder Neil L Andersen reminded us to pray to God. He will open doors. Remove road blocks and help us overcome obstacles.
Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while in order that we can see with a clear perspective again"
David Smith

Have a good week recognizing how wonderful your life actually is!
And make it a habit to pray each day to be an answer to someone else's prayer.

Quotes for the week:

Can we see the tragic and ultimate irony of not granting to others what we need so badly ourselves?"
Jeffrey R. Holland

Hebrews 1-6

Thoughts for the week:

"I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things."
- Mother Teresa

"It's easy to do what you already know, and to live at the level you've already mastered. It's much harder to step towards what you haven't yet mastered. It's so uncomfortable to exercise the muscles that are weak.
That's why the courage to grow has moral value, because it takes courage.
Growth takes courage."

Have a courageous week!

1st and 2nd Timothy, Titus, Philemon

Quotes for the week:

“A rising tide, rises all ships”.
We rise by lifting others!
-
"God does draft men and women, into the spiritual warfare of this world.
And if any of us come to genuine religious faith and a conviction, as a result of that, as many a drafted soldier has done, it will nevertheless be a faith and a conviction which in the first flames of the battle we did not enjoy and certainly did not expect."
Jeffery R. Holland

I pray that we can all stay strong and faithful and hopeful as we experience all the things in this life- the good, the bad, all of it. And that we can give grace and love to others. That we can see the good, be the good, and seek the good. And that we can also recognize the bad around us so that we can avoid it and remove it from our lives. And love like our Savior does. ❤️
Have a great week!

Quotes for the week:

God is saying to you today,
"It's time to get excited again.
It's time to remember you are not in this thing alone. I'm working on your challenges. I have already assigned My Angels to you. So let go of the stress and trust Me. I have an incredible ending in store for you. In fact, that's why you need to get excited again.
Because the HAPPY ENDING I've got coming your way, is going to ROCK YOUR WORLD."

"To begin, begin."
