Sisters,
Here are a few questions for you. Let's see if we have more in common than we think:
1) Do you ever feel as though you should give more service, but don't feel like you have either the means or the time?
2) Do you wish you could go to the temple more often, but either small children, work commitments, or other circumstances preclude you from going?
3) Do you wish that you could do more geneology but most of it has been done by your family members and so you don't really feel as though you have much to contribute (I can't relate to this as my parents are converts, but I know there are some of you out there that can).
4) Do you ever feel guilty when the words "Geneology" or "Temple Attendance" come up?
5) Does the idea of leaving your home to give service give you heart palpitations because of all of the arrangements you would have to make in advance (childcare, loading up your house in a diaper bag, the cost of gas, and just the fatigue of it all?
6) Do you find yourself wasting time on Facebook (of course our page is not a waste of time, so let's get that out of your heads) or surfing blogs (and I have to cringe when I say this as I'm guilty ... surfing Pinterest) when you know that you could be doing something more productive?
Well ... we have solutions JUST FOR YOU!! We can't wait to show you how you can give service, whenever you have a few minutes of time, from the luxury of your own home! You don't even have to get dressed ... you can be in your jammies or sweats for all we care. You can do it early in the morning before your kids get up (but why you wouldn't want to snag a few zzz's is beyond me). Or you can do it late at night when your children are in bed (much more my style).
You can even do it when your children are taking a nap, or just plain being quiet.
You can do it for a few minutes during your lunch break if you have access to a computer at work and it is allowed.
It is an amazing way to serve, and it is something that everyone who has access to a computer may do.
So ... come one, come all and let Sis. Denise Kelly teach you the ins and outs of the easiest type of service since sliced bread. In fact, it is such an easy thing to do, Elder Bednar talked about youth who were setting examples for us in the amount of indexing that they were doing.
So, those of you who have youth, why not learn and then you could have a family home evening dedicated to teaching them how to give service as well?
As those of us might remember from the Life cereal commercials ... "Try it, You'll like it.!!"
Much love,
The RS Presidency of the Notre Dame Ward
