You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and to others. Do not nag yourself with a sense of failure. Get on your knees and ask for the blessings of the Lord; then stand on your feet and do what you are asked to do. Then leave the matter in the hands of the Lord. You will discover that you have accomplished something beyond price. Gordon B. Hinckley, “To the Women of the Church,” Ensign, Nov 2003, 113

Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment program FYI
Sisters, we would like to remind you of the Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment program guidelines that were introduced by the First Presidency in 2006:
"The enrichment program includes the following:
"--Meetings: Home, family and personal enrichment meetings held quarterly...for all sisters.
"--Activities: Enrichment activities offered regularly...for sisters with similar needs and interests."
We hope that ALL of you will be able to join us for our four "BIG" enrichment meetings each year! Also, we hope that you will join us for various enrichment activities throughout the year, when you feel that those activities will bless your life.
