*The ward is putting together a book of advice for the graduating seniors in our ward. That includes: Hannah Abbott, Nicole Shumway, and Katelyn Smith. If you have advice to share please make it 500 words or less and send it to Shad Vick at shad@lunawebs.com.
*We know that not all of you sisters have had the opportunity to share your testimonies in the traveling scriptures we will be presenting to the graduating Laurels in the next few weeks, and we're running out of time!. If you haven't yet had this chance, please email carrieclinton@gmail.com with your favorite Book of Mormon scripture and a brief testimony to be included with your scripture. Carrie will print it out, mark your favorite scripture, and include your testimony inside the Book of Mormon to give to one of the Laurels at the beginning of May. The Young Women who will be receiving one of these books are: Hannah Abbott, Nicole Shumway, and Katelyn Smith. Thank you for your willingness to take a few minutes of your day to do this. It will be a great opportunity to share with these young women a little about yourself, and we hope it will be a treasured gift for them.

* Back to Basics Challenge- April--Bearing testimony not only helps to inspire others to live the gospel principles being testified of, but it strengthens our own testimony as well. Emerson R. West said, “Bearing our testimony, after we have carefully thought through and evaluated our feelings, often helps us realize how deep our convictions really are. As we share with others our personal experiences in living the gospel, we often see more clearly principles and situations we never fully recognized before. This inward search, accompanied by the outward bearing of testimony, becomes a great source of personal spiritual strength.” “This I Know” Ensign, December 1993
This month, make a conscious effort to testify of principles you have been pondering in your gospel study. Whether in a formal setting such as Fast and Testimony meeting or Family Home Evening, or in casual conversation with family and friends, your testimony will be strengthened as you complete this challenge.
