You are not sure if you are good at it? Well, come give it a try at Larkin's house next Wednesday evening at 7:30! As Guardians of the Hearth (our theme for LYS this month), it is important for us to help preserve our family history. One way we can do that is through indexing. Check out the link below to learn more about indexing. You can take a two minute "test drive" to see if you like indexing. Then, when you realize that indexing is actually fun definitely more useful than playing angry birds/scrabble on your phone, you can easily download the software to your computer or smart phone and index anytime you want! Dont let the phrase "download software" throw you off (i hate the word software, it scares me), the church website makes it super easy.

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So bring your laptops/smart phones and a snack to Larkins house on Wednesday 27th at 7:30pm and we will chat and learn how to index together. Larkin is pretty good at indexing, so she can be our guide if we need help. We thought 7:30 would be a good time because it would allow moms to get kids ready for bed before heading out, but if it is too late, we can move the time back a bit. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are anti-indexing, that is ok too! Just come to chat and hang out.</span></div>

"Christmas is a time for remembering the Son of God and renewing our determination to take upon us His name. It is a time to reassess our lives and examine our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Let this be a time of remembrance, of gratitude, and a time of forgiveness. Let it be a time to ponder the Atonement of Jesus Christ and its meaning for each of us personally. Let it especially be a time of renewal and recommitment to live by the word of God and to obey His commandments. By doing this, we honor Him far more than we ever could with lights, gifts, or parties."<br />

Families staying at the Ronald McDonald House appreciate home cooked meals following a long and stressful day at the hospital. </span></span></span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #303030; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Just as with any home, it takes a lot of work and helping hands to keep the Ronald McDonald House tidy and neat. We always welcome volunteer groups that are interested in performing service projects, such as dusting, sweeping, and cleaning all of the areas of the House. Volunteer groups can also organize craft and game activities for the families and children.</span></span></span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #303030; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="background-color: white;">It is always difficult for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House to be away from their home and families during the holidays. From Valentine’s Day to Christmas and Hanukkah, volunteers can assist the staff by making holiday meals and treats for the families and children. Volunteers willing to help decorate the House are also needed prior to the holiday season.</span></span></span></li>

<br />
We are beginning the fourth month of the Lengthening Your Stride program -- time flies when you are having fun! A special thanks to all of those who contributed to our November gratitude journal.

<br />
The monthly theme for December is <i>disciple of Christ. </i>Be sure to check out the goal suggestions tab for goals that fit this theme. <br />

In the Book of Mormon, Nephi teaches us the importance of Jesus Christ:<br />

I just found out about some fun Christmas festivities going on downtown tomorrow and wanted to let you all know about it. There's free carriage rides, a visit from Santa, and lots of fun activities for kids. And parking is free, too! Can't beat that! Maybe we'll see you there!</div>

Of
course I am grateful for the bucket list... family, income, shelter,
gospel, etc... but here are a few things I am especially grateful for
today!</div>
<div>
I am grateful for indoor plumbing. I can not imagine a
life without showers, toilets, kitchen faucets, washing machines, and a
toddler to boot!<br />
I am grateful for our infrastructure, the trucking
lanes, and the highways that allow ease of travel and things like food
shipments to get to our hometowns. </div>
<div>
I am grateful for innovative minds that have made and continue to make everyday "chores" more convenient and easy.</div>
<div>
I am grateful to be given the opportunities to learn new things every day.</div>
<div>
I
am grateful for the Lord letting me borrow from his endless supply of
patience and I am grateful for a daughter who seems to drain my supply
as fast as I can borrow it.</div>
<div>
I am grateful for the trials I
have been entrusted with throughout my life. They have shaped me into
who I am today, and even though I'm not perfect I know I'd be a lot less
whole without the growth they have provided.</div>
<div>
I am grateful
for college football. Fall + NCAA football + Hot Chocolate = SATURDAY
ECSTASY!!!! Really, NCAA football makes life worth living :)</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;">One thing that has constantly been near the top of my thankful list is the ability to read. I love to read for pleasure and information. Perhaps that was one thing that motivated me to become a teacher. I am so grateful for the great thoughts and words open to me because of my ability to read.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;">No gratitude list is complete without "family" written down. I have much family to be thankful for.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;">I am thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is such a blessing to have the truth and to know that it is true.</span></span><br />

husband who both complements and compliments me. I'm grateful that
babies learn how to smile before they learn how to talk. I'm grateful
for my dishwasher. I'm grateful for the family I grew up in, the one I
married into, and the one I'm currently building. I'm grateful that this
list could go on forever if I had enough time.<br />

I am grateful that we met and fell in

works so hard at making sure we have a successful future. <br />

1,900 miles away from my parents. I love to chat with them in my living
room (even if it is through a computer).<br />-I am grateful for my
in-laws. They are so kind and loving and have made me feel like I was
part of the family the moment I met them. <br />
-I am grateful that we had the opportunity to visit my in-laws on their
mission in Guyana. It was a very humbling experience that will always
remind me to be grateful for everything that I have. <br />-I am grateful
for my dog, Lucy. Her sweet personality and charismatic face brightens
up our home. She has kept me company on many long days while David has
been away. I never thought it would be possible to have an animal be
such a close friend. But, Lucy is definitely one of my closet friends. <br />

were put on this Earth for a divine purpose. I am grateful to have a

I am thankful for (In no Particular order):<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li> My husband and all the hard work he puts into law school to make a better life for us.</li>
<li>William and the lessons he has taught me. (Patience,Love,Unselfishness)</li>
<li>A wonderful apartment and all the space we have!</li>
<li>The sunshine and how it warms my face</li>
<li>Rain for the relaxing sound that puts me to sleep as well as the wonderful smell!</li>
<li>Music and how I can feel the spirit when I listen to it as well as feeling the emotions it conveys to me</li>
<li>My
Life and how the lord is allowing me to take breath every day to
learn,feel,see,taste, and hear the wonderful things he created</li>
<li>My family and their support</li>
<li>Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
and their plan for me as well as the sacrifice they both suffered so
that I can live with them again.</li>
<li>The Temple and the spirit I feel there</li>
<li>My covenants</li>
<li>My talents, even the ones I don't think I'm very good at!</li>
<li>Kisses, hugs, and snuggle time</li>
<li>Books and the knowledge I can obtain from them-or just relaxing with a good book is great too! </li>
</ol>
