OCTOBER 2009
Presidency Message
by Amanda Hancock, Education Counselor
I have been thinking a lot lately about a recent Sunday School lesson in which we dis-
cussed the rescue of the Willey and Martin handcart companies. The point was brought
out that the pioneers who were freezing and starving on the plains had to be willing to
accept help when it was offered. What would the rescuers have thought if the dying
pioneers had turned down their help, saying “Oh thanks, but we’ll be okay. We’ve got
it.”? Such a refusal of help would have been ridiculous and even fatal. But how often do
we turn down the help that willing friends or even strangers offer us? Do we constantly
feel that we need to take care of all of our own needs all the time, no matter what hap-
pens in our lives? Do we, at times, even make the person who is offering help feel bad
that they “bothered” us with their offer? When we allow others to serve, we help them
strengthen their “service muscles” so they are better able to help more people in the
future. We give them an opportunity to build their testimony of the joy that comes from
service.
And what do we do with the service that the Savior has offered to each of us through
his atonement? Christ gave the greatest service of all, knowing that not everyone would
accept it. Because He loves us so much, He was willing to offer his whole life in order to
offer salvation to each one of us. Let us always be grateful for and accepting of this
most perfect of all acts of service. Let us accept Christ’s love and atonement, repent of
our sins, and receive the great blessings He has prepared for us.
With love,
Sister Amanda Hancock
Visiting Teaching Update
Many of you recently received a new visiting teaching route. We would love to
leave routes alone, however due to schedule conflicts, sisters not being visited for
months up to years, visiting teaching requires “updating”. Please know that much
prayer and thoughtful consideration went into each change. We pray that you will
embrace the new changes and bless the lives of the sisters that may be newly as-
signed to you. If you have questions about your new assignments please contact a
member of the RS presidency.
