         It was another exhausting but fulfilling day with a variety of responsibilities that kept us going strong.  The laundry can be a massive job, especially when the missionaries come in such large numbers like they did this week.  Each one gets clothing to wear in the session plus a packet; and it all has to be laundered, sorted, re-packeted, and made ready for the next group.

         Following is number nine on the improvement list. 

         9. Increase your fast offering

When speaking about caring for the poor, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland asked Church members to be “as generous as circumstances permit” in their contributions.

“Cherish that sacred privilege [to fast] at least monthly, and be as generous as circumstances permit in your fast offering and other humanitarian, educational, and missionary contributions,” he said. “I promise that God will be generous to you, and those who find relief at your hand will call your name blessed forever.”

“Because the Atonement of Jesus Christ is very practical, you should apply it generously 24/7, for it never runs out.” —Elder Jörg Klebingat, Of the Seventy

Have a wonderful week-end.  Love you all!!
