For Kristy's family

This is the striped jelly in the process of being made (it was full to the top with different colours and looked great)

Kristy's striped jelly was a major hit with all the sisters at Enrichment last night. This dish is a christmas tradition that was part of Kristy's growing up and she made an enormous bowl to share with everyone.

I am sorry to say that I didn't get a photo of it because it was all eaten before I had a chance to snap a shot.!!! I think Kristy spent most of supper time explaining to sisters how to make it.

Hope you all had a nice thanksgiving - we're thankful Kristy is part of our Ward family and shared a family tradition with all of us. We hope she enjoyed her Thanksgiving here in Tassie.


PS Here is a photo of Kristy's quilt she made at the Quilting Enrichment Activity - hasn't she done a great job!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

No one person was responsible for making last night a lovely evening for those sisters who attended. We are very grateful for all those who helped make it a great night.

We especially wanted to thank the extremely hardworking Enrichment Committee - thank you so, so much Janet and Chris. We had so many meetings, they put in so many hours of work, and we really appreciate it.

Thanks for all those sisters who provided recipes and then cooked those recipes for us to taste on the evening. Thanks also for those who bought a plate of supper even when they were asked. (We have some fantastic, giving sisters in our ward.)

Thank you to Simone who created our wonderful recipe book and made it unique and personal. Thank you to Brother Jim who photocopied 40 copies of the 14 Day Walk with Christ and printed 40 copies of the coloured front cover.

Thanks to Diana for provided (at her own expense) the delicious drink for the evening and it was nice to know Sister Harbeck is still very much thought of in our Ward (as not only the drink was Sister Harback's recipe but so was the shortbread!).

Above you will see two of our gorgeous YSA girls - thanks for coming girls. (We'll get you next time Rach)

Miriam's smocked Christmas balls

Thank you to all the sisters who provided demonstrations for the evening. Great job - interesting, informative, well-prepared and presented. Thank you Janet, Chris, Yvonne, Jill, Maryanne and Miriam.

Thanks to Peggy for helping us exchange our christmas gifts in a fun way.

Thanks to the Primary workers (and Kobie and Kia) for singing such a beautiful song to lift our spirits. Thanks to Fiona and Rachael for playing the piano at very short notice.

Thank you to Chris for provided literally hundreds and hundreds of lights to make the hall look fantastic and all her hard work in setting up.

Thanks to our Relief Society president and all her willing little helpers who support us so much.

Thanks to all the brethren who encouraged and supported their wives to enable them to come along.

Thanks to all those who helped us pack up and enabled us to get home before midnight! We really appreciate it.

Miriam's thoughts on Stake Website

NEW OFFICIAL HOBART STAKE WEBSITE

I just registered for the stake website (which is replacing the “Vision” publication and probably the stake calendar).

It is amazing. I couldn’t believe what I found: calendar info, membership contact details, the RS lesson schedule and some great official LDS links.

How do you register for access to this exclusive and completely useful site?

obtain your baptismal confirmation date and membership number (see your temple recommend or the ward Clerk)
go to www.lds.org/units
click on “Obtain an account”
enter the information requested and “submit”

The level of security on this site appears very sound. I am totally impressed: I especially like the fact that I can happily lose track of most of my Sunday bits of paper and access the information from the internet instead. Brilliant!

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 27TH NOVEMBER

Enrichment Meeting
7 pm
Rosny Chapel
27 November
Please bring a small, inexpensive gift to exchange

What happened on Sunday

1. We had some lovely YSA visitors, Emma, Jess and Rachael, from up north with us.

2. We reminded everyone about Enrichment Meeting on Thursday, 27 November at 7 pm at the Chapel. Please bring a small, inexpensive gift to exchange on the night.

3. Quilting group is meeting this Thursday evening (that wasn't announced today but they are!!)

4. 5 Minute Music with Diana - we were all asked to find our favourite scripture, find the basic theme of the scripture and then turn to page 415 in the hymn book and find a hymn that went with our scripture. Some sisters shared their scriptures and related hymn with the class.

5. Piret led us in the lesson today entitled "Revelation and the Living Prophet". She spoke about the great blessing we have in the church of having a living prophet. "We sustain the President of the Church and other church leaders by praying for them and heeding their counsel." A powerful lesson and her testimony at the end was a spiritual highlight.

Playgroup Activity

Hi all,

Playgroup for this week is to be held at Rosny McDonalds on Thursday 13th November from 10:00am.

Come along and enjoy some adult company as the kids let loose on the play equipment.

Love

Miriam

What happened on Sunday

1. We had the beautiful Primary Presentation today - the children did a wonderful job (so did their leaders). It was a spiritual feast for us.

2. A reminder that our last Enrichment Meeting will be held on Thursday 27 November at the Chapel at 7 pm. Please bring a small gift to exchange on the night. We would love to see all sisters attend.

3. The enrichment activities will all conclude this month and will commence again in the new year. Check out the blog for more details.

4. The service craft group will meet this Tuesday at Yvonnie's and will commence again in February.

5. Diana helped us understand some of the 'old-fashioned' words in some of our hymns by giving us all a little quiz to do.

6. Miriam lead us in the lesson and I hear she did a wonderful job and the spirit was felt strongly. (I had the blessing of looking after Hannah who snuggled into my arms and went to sleep).

(Hey Ev, bring back some great ideas from Burnie to share with us in Relief Society please).
