February Newsletter

Presidency Message

During the month of February our thoughts are centered around love. We send valentines and cards and remember those who are important in our lives. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf helps us to remember the true meaning of love.

"True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long—we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it—but until we manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but “sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal." 1 Corinthians 13:1.  Christ did not just speak about love; He showed it each day of His life. He did not remove Himself from the crowd. Being amidst the people, Jesus reached out to the one. He rescued the lost. He didn’t just teach a class about reaching out in love and then delegate the actual work to others. He not only taught but also showed us how to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.” Doctrine and Covenants 81:5 (You Are My Hands, May 2010 Ensign)

As sisters in the gospel we have the opportunity to exercise this true love, or the pure love of Christ, as we serve those around us and do as the Savior would do. Let us look to Christ as our example. Know that we as a presidency love each one of you; you are in our thoughts and prayers always.

Love,
The Relief Society Presidency,
Marty, Lisa, Jan, Debbie & Jenny
