I’m not going to lie…I didn’t catch much of the General Relief Society broadcast last night. I had plans to watch with my mother and sisters, but the stomach flu overcame me and my children, so our plans turned into crackers, water, and sleeping near…

I taped my stepping stones…

I’m teaching lesson 5 for the Family History class. I’m using a handout already on your website for the portion on WHO Abraham is (Title: Abraham Isaac Jesus – Valiant Handout).
