A wonderful Saturday : )

I feel like this has been the most productive Saturday i've had in awhile. It was busy but Wonderful! I still had a few pictures I needed to take for I-Comm so I went to The Nature park here in Rexburg with my roommate Dawn. There was a skate park that I got some awesome shots of people on and then there's dawn....Feeding the ducks. : ) It was so cute and such a peaceful little photo shoot. I love being in nature especially when my mind is wandering in so many other things it just helps to get away and even though I was taking pictures for the paper it didn't feel like work because I love the camera. I successfully did a lot of my homework before we went to the General Relief Society Broadcast. It was amazing! One thing I really love about going to big group events like that is the spirit that is present the entire time. You can just feel it when your voices are singing the praises.
I took with me some notes that I will cherish from now til forever.

*As women we have an essential part in the plan of happiness. -Silvia H. Alred
*Feed the Hungry, Visit the sick, and teach one another the doctorine
*Long walks mean nothing in the eyes of the blessings you will receive from doing it.
*The most important thing you can do on your visiting teaching is Listen
*Follow the promptings of the spirit when it tells you to go and visit someone with or without your partner..the  spirit knows when they need something.

President Monson Spoke of so many wonderful stories I would love to share with you but i'll leave you with just one of the thoughts he give.....if you would like to see the stories he shares go to the link I've posted at the bottom and it takes you to the broadcast. It was amazing and I recommend everyone watch it.

Charity Needed Everywhere

There is a serious need for the charity that gives attention to those who are unnoticed, hope to those who are discouraged, aid to those who are afflicted. True charity is love in action. The need for charity is everywhere.

Needed is the charity which refuses to find satisfaction in hearing or in repeating the reports of misfortunes that come to others, unless by so doing the unfortunate one may be benefitted. The American educator and politician Horace Mann once said, “To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.”

Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down; it is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.

—President Thomas S. Monson
