Thank you, Thank you, thank you

I can't believe we didn't take a camera on Thursday night to Enrichment Meeting! Everyone did such an amazing job with their presentations, all the tables looked fantastic and everyone had really gone the second-mile with their assignments. We really, really, really appreciate it.

We have so many people to thank and although we will be privately thanking, we also wanted to public thank on the blog all the wonderful people who contributed to our meeting.

1. Thank you to all the sisters who attended. We so appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to come to Enrichment Meeting and so hope and pray that you gain something from coming and feel uplifted and inspired by the time you leave.

2. Thank you to Louella and Lyn who presented 'Kitchen Inspirations' to us. We were overwhelmed by your efforts and all the lovely food and recipes that were produced for us and we all learnt something from your presentation. We also hope Lyn has had some rest since, as the amount of food she presented and cooked was amazing.

3. Thank you to Chris who taught us how to make washing powder for less then 1 cent a load and gave us ideas for a mini first aid kit we can carry with us. Great ideas for storage and 72 hour packs.

4. Thanks to Betty who talked about preparing for death and the important documents we should consider and think about and what we need to have to ease the burdens on our loved ones for the time for us to leave this life comes. (She also made a very beautiful angel!)

5. Thank you to Andrew (and Fran who was hiding!) who taught us about financial preparation and gave us some very thoughtful and timely information. We loved the gold dollar signs pinned up everywhere and yes, we all think you both make such a cute couple!

6. Thanks to Karenne (and Sarah - we missed you Guy!) who talked about vacuum sealing food and different ways of doing this. Hopefully the Stake sealer will be booked out for months to come now as we all busily borrow it to seal our food - but of course, not our pasta!!

7. Thanks to Denise who travelled all the way from the Huon (we are very grateful) with Pam to share all her skill and knowledge when it comes to dehydrating food and we are amazed at all the wonderful produce Denise and her husband not only grows but then dehydrates! Thank you for bringing so much produce to show us and talk about the benefits of dehydrating.

8. Thank you to Miriam who talked about decluttering our homes to help us prepare for the future and we all loved the three bins she had - the throw out, give away or put away bins!
Great and practical tips to help us.

9. Thank you to Wayne (& Bev) who came and talked about preparing us for technology and helping us all to understand a little more about the Stake and Ward Websites and the benefits of accessing them to us and our families.

10. Thanks also to Rachael who spoke about us preparing for the temple and the physical and spiritual things we need to do as we plan trips to the temple.

11. Thank you to Janet and Chris who did all the handouts and reminders for the sisters, who purchased and prepared the handout bags for all the sisters and thank you to the Young Men who helped set up the hall at the end of Mutual with all the tables for us to use the following evening. Thanks to Belle for all her moral support on the evening and her help with setting up and cleaning up. Thank you to all the sisters who helped set up on the Wednesday evening and helped clean up on the Thursday evening. We are very grateful to you all.
