What happened on Sunday?

1. Lots of announcements - please refer to previous posts, all the information is there about upcoming General RS broadcast, Stake Fireside, and Ward Enrichment night.
2. We discussed Lesson 14 'Words of Hope and Consolation at the time of Death' from the Joseph Smith manual. It's a wonderful lesson to read, with many uplifting messages for us all. One quote from the lesson reads "..we have reason to have the greatest hope and consolation for our dead.." A message from the lesson when talking about the death of children reads "..the only difference between the old and young dying is, one lives longer in heaven and eternal light and glory than the other, and is freed a little sooner from this miserable, wicked world.." We are blessed to be able to have a feeling of hope as we mourn the loss of loved ones because of the knowledge of an eternal life. How blessed we are.
