Boise Temple Dedication

To Parents and Young Women:
The Boise Temple will be dedicated on November 18th. The sessions will be broadcast to the Ammon Stake Center. The session times are 9 a.m., Noon, and 3 p.m.

To be able to attend any or each of the sessions the young women need to go forward with these steps:
(FYI, members of the church who are of age 8 and are baptized are able to attend, with meeting requirements.)

If a young woman has a current temple recommend, she will need to meet with any of the bishopric members to receive a ticket for the dedication.

If a young woman does not have a current temple recommend, she can meet with Bishop Payne and receive a ticket for the dedication.

For appointments with Bishop Payne, contact Brother Scott Toronto.

I hope you are able to make it! The temple dedications do require Temple modesty dress and a clean, white handkerchief. This is a wonderful experience for the youth, I remember my first with President Gordon B. Hinckley.

All of my love,
Sister Bailey

Highlights from RS Broadcast

The Relief Society broadcast was nothing short of AMAZING! It was such an uplifting meeting. President Uchtdorf's talk was fantastic, and something that would benefit each of us. Here is a little excerpt from his talk:

You Are Not Forgotten

As a child, when I would look at the little forget-me-nots, I sometimes felt a little like that flower—small and very insignificant. I wondered if I would be forgotten by my family or by my Heavenly Father. Years later, I can look back on that young boy with tenderness and compassion. And I do know now I was never forgotten.

And I know something else. As an Apostle of our Master, Jesus Christ, I proclaim with all the certainty and conviction of my heart and soul—neither are you!
You are not forgotten.

Sisters, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love.

—President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
