Relief Society Lesson - 1-24-10
I'm sorry to have to write this, but for some reason my digital recorder decided to turn off on it's own after 15 minutes :( I'm not sure what happened this time. I am posting the part that I do have though. It was Ward Conference this Sunday, and the Stake Relief Society Presidency presented the lesson. I'm hoping to discover what happened with the recorder to turn off like this, so that we won't have to experience it again.

1/17/10 - Relief Society handout
Here is a copy of the handout from the January 17, 2010 Relief Society lesson
Jeremiah 1:4-5
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Quote #1 God is not only our Ruler and Creator; He is also our Heavenly Father. All men and women are literally the sons and daughters of God. “Man, as a spirit, was begotten and born of heavenly parents, and reared to maturity in the eternal mansions of the Father, prior to coming upon the earth in a temporal [physical] body” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith [1998], 335). (Gospel Doctrine, 9)
Quote #2 All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose. (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)
Abraham 3:24-26
And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;
And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;
And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever.
Quote #3 Our Heavenly Father knew we could not progress beyond a certain point unless we left Him for a time. He wanted us to develop the godlike qualities that He has. To do this, we needed to leave our premortal home to be tested and to gain experience. Our spirits needed to be clothed with physical bodies. We would need to leave our physical bodies at death and reunite with them in the Resurrection. Then we would receive immortal bodies like that of our Heavenly Father. If we passed our tests, we would receive the fulness of joy that our Heavenly Father has received (Gospel Doctrine, 10-11)
Quote #4 A veil covers our memories of our premortal life, but our Father in Heaven knows who we are and what we did before we came here. He has chosen the time and place for each of us to be born so we can learn the lessons we personally need and do the most good with our individual talents and personalities. [emphasis added] (Gospel Doctrine, 10)
How would a daughter of God respond to the crises in her life? How will I?
How would a daughter of God treat those around her? How will I?
How would a daughter of God act toward her family? How will I?
How would a daughter of God improve the world around her? How will I?

Meatball Soup
With our lesson regarding Provident Living/ Self - Reliance, we discussed different ways we could incorporate these areas more into our life. One was through cooking our own meals. This blog may be used to post our favorite recipes we can share with one another (also helps us explore more choices). If you have a favorite recipe you would like to share, please send it to: Kleinman.RS@gmail.com
This recipe was submitted by Linda Black - a quick (15 minutes) and easy family favorite!
Meatball Soup
Meatballs (frozen) – I buy them at Costco or Sam’s – use however many you want.
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 14-ounce can beef broth
1 14-1/2-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 cup tiny bow-tie pasta or ditalini
3 cups torn spinach or 1/2 of a 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
Directions
1.. In a large saucepan stir together garbanzo beans, beef broth, undrained tomatoes, water, mushrooms, frozen meatballs, and Italian seasoning. Bring to boil. Add pasta. Return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or just until spinach is wilted.

Provident Living Notes
Here are some notes from the RS Lesson (1/3/10) regarding Provident Living and Self-Reliance:
The economic clouds that have long threatened the world are now fully upon us. The impact of this economic storm on our Heavenly Father’s children requires a gospel vision of welfare today more than ever before.
The gospel vision of welfare is to put our faith in Jesus Christ into action.
Provident Living
❏ joyfully living within our means and preparing for the ups and downs of life so that we can be ready for the rainy-day emergencies when they come into our lives.
❏ not coveting the things of this world.
❏ using the resources of the earth wisely and not being wasteful, even in times of plenty.
❏ avoiding excessive debt and being content with what we have.
Self-Reliance
❏ Using all of our blessings from Heavenly Father to care for ourselves and our families and to find solutions for our own problems.” Each of us has a responsibility to try to avoid problems before they happen and to learn to overcome challenges when they occur.
❏ Taking responsibility for our own spiritual and temporal welfare and for those whom Heavenly Father has entrusted to our care. Only when we are self-reliant can we truly emulate the Savior in serving and blessing others.
❏ A means to an end. Our ultimate goal is to become like the Savior, and that goal is enhanced by our unselfish service to others. Our ability to serve is increased or diminished by the level of our self-reliance.
How do we become self-reliant?
We become self-reliant through obtaining sufficient knowledge, education, and literacy; by managing money and resources wisely, being spiritually strong, preparing for emergencies and eventualities; and by having physical health and social and emotional well-being.
How do we prepare for the future?
❏ Budgeting – Several Bishops were surveyed as to what self-reliance skill the sisters in the ward need most. #1 answer was budgeting. The #2 answer was cooking – basic cooking skills.
❏ Education - Preparing for the future also includes obtaining an education or vocational training and finding gainful employment. If you are currently employed, do all that you can to be a valued, essential part of the organization you work for.
❏ Maintain your Health – In order to accomplish the work we need to best meet our challenges, good health is essential.
❏ Spiritual Preparation - Just as we save our temporal resources for rainy days, keeping the commandments, praying, reading the scriptures, and relying upon the Holy Ghost prepare us for the rainy-day tests of life. By our obedience, we store up the faith we need to meet the challenges of life.
