Presidency Message
I believe in Prayer.
I believe in prayer. Prayer is certainly the most basic religious ritual of all faiths. All those who believe in God seek him in some form of prayer. It is the earliest religious behavior we teach to our children. And yet the process of prayer cannot be fathomed by the human mind. None of us understands how it works even though we have had a lifetime of experience with it.
But we do know some things:
The first thing we know is that prayer rests on the principle of faith.
We also know that prayer is an expression agency.
We know that prayer grows out of humility. We need God. An if our troubles can take us to God, we can be thankful for them.
We need to make an individual personal choice to pray. Repeated day after day and year after year, as it states in Alma 37:6, "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass...
Sister Julie Beck has encouraged us as Relief Society sister to pray. She said, "Think of our combined strength if every sister had sincere prayer every morning and night or, better yet, prayer unceasingly as the Lord has commanded."
Sometimes answers to prayers are quite clear, simple and direct. But often prayer becomes a long and personal conversation. We continue to pray and work and find that our problems are gradually resolved.
And so the power of prayer is more than saying at the end of a prayer, "Thy will be done." It is actually finding that His will has become our will.
Pres. Hinckley has said: "Things will work out. If you keep trying and praying and working, things will work out. They always do."
We can trust that the Lord will work in and thru us. I can testify that He does know us and listen to our prayers.

Visiting Teaching Message
Self-reliance is the ability, commitment, and effort to provide for the spiritual and temporal well-being of ourselves and of our families.
As we learn and apply the principles of self-reliance in our homes and communities, we have opportunities to care for the poor and needy and to help others become self-reliant so they can endure times of adversity.

September Preparedness Thought
This month I am taking a turn from preparing with physical means to spiritual preparedness. Earthly materials for an emergency are very important, but just as equally important, if not more important, is spiritual preparedness. Thanks to our daughter and the Ensign this month, we asked a specific question to use in our family scripture study. Our daughter asked to know more about the Second Coming. What a great topic to learn more about, after all isn't that part of what we are preparing for. That and eternal life. Some useful places we have found information are, "Jesus the Christ", "Mormon Doctrine", Book of Revelations, and conference talks. This has been very insightful and fun to learn more as a family.Other topics that would be great to study would be Faith, that can help us not just in preparing for the event of the Second Coming but in all our challenges we face on a daily basis. Forgiveness, Repentance, the Atonement, enduring well, and finding joy at all times. this months challenge is to pick a topic you would like to be more spiritually prepared in and study it out. I hope that as you do this you will feel more prepared and build an even stronger foundation to rely upon when the need arises.
