September Presidency Message
Dear
Sisters,
This
month we are focusing on the Christlike
Attribute
of “Virtue.” Virtue means purity.
It
begins in the heart and in the mind.
“It
is
a pattern of thought and behavior based on
High
moral standards.” A core element of virtue,
one
that is often ignored by the world, is chastity.
Virtue
and chastity are inseparably connected.
Some
have suggested that virtue is primarily for women,
but
it is not gender based. The Latin
root word for virtue
is
virtus, which means “strength.”
Thus virtue applies not
just
to women but to all. In order to
remain virtuous,
we
need each other. We will all need
to help each other,
and
if one of us falls or fails, we can help him or her “return”
The
Book of Mormon relates the story of two thousand
young
heroes whose virtue and purity gave them the
strength
to defend their parents’ covenants and their
Families’
faith (Alma 56-58). Their virtue
and
commitment
to be true at all times changed the world!
As
we run life’s race, it is virtue, meaning purity and
power,
that will sustain us through the long miles.
May
we all stand for virtue in a world that is so rapidly
departing
from it as our Heavenly Father would want us to do.
Love,
Dantzel,
Gaylene, Cindy, Tracey

August Presidency Message
Dear Sisters,
This month we are focusing on the Christlike attribute of "Humility." To be humble is to recognize gratefully our dependence on the Lord--to understand that we have constant need for His support. Humility is an acknowledgment that our talents and abilities are gifts from God. It is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that we know where our true strength lies. We can be both humble and fearless. We can be both humble and courageous. In D&C 112:10 it says, "Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers." May we ever be humble and worthy of our Heavenly Father's choicest blessings.
Love,
Dantzel, Gaylene, Cindy and Tracey
