October 2011 Visiting Teaching Message!

It's Here!

I don't know if it's just because I have 4 boys or what,

but this is one of my favorite scripture stories.

(My boys love it as much as I do!)

As a mother, I feel like I am waging a war against

the adversary EVERYDAY...ALL DAY!

Our children need to be stronger than ever

and that means we as mother's and father's have to

work even harder to prepare them.
We have now established the...
Stripling Warrior Training Zone

(Or maybe it should be called a BOOT CAMP!)
in our home.

In Sister Beck's Message

she challenged us to...

"LIVE OUR COVENANTS WITH PRECISION."

She gave some examples of what we can do:

and

As we strive to be precise

in each of these areas, we can with exactness,

be on target with what the Lord would have us do.

I cut and copied each of the cards and then

tied them together with a piece of jute.

I stuck a skewer into a pumpkin and slid the tied

cards on the part that was sticking out of the pumpkin.

Our ward declared October as Visiting Teaching Month!

Our Challenge:

Make a personal visit with each of your sisters

BEFORE the end of the month!

We can do this.

On your mark, get set...

GO!!!

MediaFire Tutorial!

....NOTICE...
I just talked to Valerie and she set me
straight on the All Access Pass.
It's only an All Access Pass to ME!
Here I was thinking that I had just made everything
SO EASY!
It was only easy for me because I am always
logged into MediaFire.
I had no idea it wouldn't work the same for you.
GOOD NEWS THOUGH
You can still have access to ALL of the files
but you will have to go to the side bar, on the top right of my blog,
under the title that says "Past PDF's for the 2010 year".
Folder 1 is the very start of the blog
and the folders continue chronologically from there.
If you click on a folder it will take you to the Media Fire
site where all my files under that folder are listed.
Here is where you can do an individual search for what you want.
The instructions are the same as far as how
MediaFire works, it just won't let
you search all of the folders at once.
The folders are saved in the order of the blog,
so if you are looking for a Halloween idea,
you would look in folder 4 or 5.
I'm soooo sorry for the headaches
but hopefully this will solve the problem!
THANK YOU FOR BEING
SO PATIENT!
My dad always told me,
"Blessed are the FLEXIBLE . . . for they shall bend and NOT BREAK!"
What a wise and cute man!
. . . . .

I'm not sure why....but everytime I try to comment

on the blog, it won't let me.

This whole time I've been thinking we were having

the greatest conversations, only to find out,

I've just been talking to myself!

(Happens all the time!)

AAahhhhhhh!

So now you know why I never respond

to your questions or comments!
I'm just technology challenged!
I'm sure it's an easy fix, BUT I can't figure it out to save my life.
(I'll keep trying though!)
In the meantime we can work on...
Finding those missing files! 

MediaFire is a little tricky to use at first

so I thought a little tutorial would help!

(My friend V-bybes gave me the same tutorial and it helped tons!)

Thank Ya Bybes!

If you click on the

Folders on the top right side,
it will pull up a "SEARCH" box for that folder.

It has the magnifying glass.

Type the title of the file you are searching for into the box.

From there it will pull up any of the files I have with the same title.

Click on the file you want to download and it will

pull up a YELLOW BOX that says
"PROCESSING DOWNLOAD REQUEST"

When it's ready, it will say:

"CLICK HERE TO START DOWNLOAD REQUEST FROM MEDIAFIRE"

Once you have clicked on the YELLOW BOX,

it will ask you if you want to "OPEN" or "SAVE"

Click "OPEN" and your file will load.

You may need to wait a second for the larger files to load,

but they should all be there.
. . . . .
I will be posting the
October Visiting Teaching Message
sometime tonight!
What a GREAT message...I can't wait!

No More Lost Files.....I Hope!

I'm giving you an

ALL ACCESS PASS

to every file I have ever posted!

The google group I used in the beginning

of this blog to store my files....is no longer in service,

but THANKS to my good friend

Valerie's insight,

THEY HAVE BEEN SAVED

AND SAFELY STORED

with Mediafire!

YAY!!!

Here's the Link:

ALL ACCESS PASS FOLDER LINK

You may have to do an individual search in each of the

folders, but you should be able to find what you are

looking for in just a couple of clicks!

THANK YOU

for being so patient with me,

and

THANK YOU

for you sweet comments!

YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST!!!

The September Visiting Teaching Message Is Here!

This month's message is

AMAZING!

We all have our

"TO DO LISTS"

in fact, most of our lists never seem to end...

BUT are the things on OUR LISTS the things

that are really going to bring us closer

to the SPIRIT and OUR FAMILIES?

If we want to grow closer as families we can't lose focus!

If we fill our lists to quickly with things that have no value,

we lose the opportunity to work on the things

that matter most....

We have to keep an ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

when we are making our lists,
by doing so we will allow the Spirit to work in

our HOMES and in our HEARTS!
Elder M. Russell Ballard asked this question:
"What can we do to better prepare our children spiritually
for their eternal roles?"
"Perhaps the most inclusive answer is:
Teach them how to live the principles of the gospel."
This teaching comes through...
Daily Prayer
Scripture Study
and Family Mealtimes
as well as
Family Home Evening
and
Church Attendance.
"We prepare each day, right now, for eternal life.
If we are not preparing for eternal life,
we are preparing for something less,
perhaps something far less."
..........

Here's This Month's Message:

I've included a:

Spiritual To Do List

This would be fun to laminate so that

your sisters can use it daily with a dry erase marker.

This Apple Pie Recipe is DELISH!

I'm also including a Blank Check List

for your sisters to use along with their

Spiritual Checklist!

Here's the PDF:

Here's a Larger Version:

September Visiting Teaching Packet 2 PDF

(I lost my glasses, so I printed a larger version for myself....

the other one was so small it gave me a headache when I tried to read it.)

I'm going to give my sisters a bag of apples

with this month's message.

Hope your sisters are all doing well!

I found a small seedless watermelon to give with the message,

but you could also use:

Sour Watermelon Candies,

Green and Pink Jelly Beans,

or

Watermelon Licorice.

...YOU COULD EVEN...

Invite them over to whip up a Watermelon Smoothie

with you and your companion!

July Visiting Teaching Message

I know that July is about as close

to over as it can get,

but . . .

 THERE IS STILL TIME

 to do your Visiting Teaching

if you haven't yet!

Hopefully this will help!

Just print, cut and tie the cards together

with a piece of ribbon.

Attach a Wet Erase Marker to the ribbon

along with a mini loaf of wheat bread and you're

good to go!

If you don't have time to make the bread....

You can fill a cellophane bag with some wheat

WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAVE,

cause you're Prepared NOT Scared . . . . RIGHT?!?

Attach the cards to the bag of wheat

to put it all together.... and WAH-LAH, you've created

a BEAUTIFUL message for your sistas!

My Gospel Standards!

You've seen this one before,
although it has changed a little.
I've had several requests for 8 1/2 x 11 sized

My Gospel Standards Cards
(Marvelous idea BTW....Glad YOU ALL thought of it! 
This size should be alot easier for the primary kids to see.)

Here's the PDF:
