December 2013 Newsletter



Presidency message

We hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and we want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

President Thomas S Monson said, ‘The Temple provides purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls – not the peace provided by man but the peace promised by the Son of God when He said, ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.’  I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His Holy Temples. To paraphrase a poem:

How far is heaven?
It’s not very far.
In temples of God,
It’s right where we are.’

We, the Relief Society Presidency, would like to encourage each of you to include a visit to the Temple in your busy December schedule.  You and your family will be blessed.
Love, Sue, Lisa, Amy, Debbie, Jenny
