Valentines to Troops!
Last Wednesday, our Relief Society took on an Operation Support Our Troops, Inc. project to send Valentine packages to servicemen and women deployed in Afghanistan. With the help of our sisters (and the young women later in the day), packages containing stationary and valentine candy will reach over 600 by Valentines Day. What a sweet way to serve! Thanks to everyone involved!
Healthy Eating in 2011
January is a season of New Year's Resolutions. Some goals that reach the top each year include spending more time with family and friends, exercising, and losing weight or dieting. Have you made your list? Maybe dieting or making a change to eat healthy is on your list. The best diet, I believe, is one that can be maintained, and the healthiest approach is through whole foods. It includes lots of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, while minimizing trans and saturated fats and sugars. This type of diet aids weight loss, increases metabolism, provides energy, promotes health, and will make you look and feel great!
It may take a little bit of effort at first (everything worthwhile does), but then it becomes easier. It is something that can be incorporated into your lifestyle as a healthy change.
My challenge to you is to make whole foods your goal. Substitute wheat for white flour. Take a veggie or fruit tray in place of sugary snacks. Try meatless Mondays or go lean. Use the Word of Wisdom as your guide and reach your health goals in 2011!

Yesterday's Lesson
Shauna Leavitt taught us from Elder Hales’ and Elder Cook’s talks from the last General Conference.
Elder Hales said, “Whenever we choose to come unto Christ, take His name upon us, and follow His servants, we progress along the path to eternal life.”
Elder Cook said, “If we do not black out evil from our homes and lives, do not be surprised if devastating moral explosions shatter the peace which is the reward for righteous living. Our responsibility is to be in the world but not of the world.” He went on to promise us, “If we make of our homes holy places that shelter us from evil, we will be protected from the adverse consequences that the scriptures have foretold.”
