Visiting teaching assignments have changed! If you're not sure who you teach, you teaches you, or who your partner is, contact Kaylin McOmber.

- MISCELLANY -

Liz Chapman has officially published a book of poetry! It's been a long journey, but as of yesterday afternoon, her book is available for purchase online. She's working on getting copies available in a few places around Rexburg, but in the meantime, you can buy a copy here. It will also be available on Amazon Kindle soon. 

T-Bird Hartner has coordinated temple attendance. Every week in Relief Society, a clipboard will be passed around where you can sign up to attend an endowment session at the temple. You can go with friends, with T-Bird, or on your own, and she'll text you to remind you. 

BYU-Idaho has an "Understanding Same Gender Attraction" group on campus. Those interested in attending meetings to show love and support and to gain greater understanding of their brothers and sisters are welcome. Talk to Liz about meeting times and places.

Are you available to babysit? We'd like to put together a babysitter contact sheet here on the blog, with names of those who can watch your kids! That way, young moms can just visit this site for babysitters. Comment on this blog if you'd like to be included as a potential babysitter, along with your availability. Because this is a public blog, we won't include phone numbers--just look folks up on the ward directory.

- SPIRITUAL THOUGHT -

"Under the definition of 'Temple' in the Bible Dictionary, we read the following: It is the most holy of any place of worship on the earth, followed by this insightful statement: Only the home can compare with the temple in sacredness. For me this suggests a sacred relationship between the temple and the home. Not only can we turn the doors of our homes to the temple, or the house of the Lord; we can make our homes a house of the Lord."

-- Gary E. Stevensen, May 2009 Ensign
