June 2010 Relief Society Newsletter
Dear Sisters,
Once again we want to thank you for your special service and the love you give to the sisters in your wards.  You are the ones who are serving in the trenches and giving so much.  Remember when you seem over whelmed and exhausted that the Lord is aware of you and will help you and bless both you and your family. 
I think of the story Elder Uchtdorf told in our last conference.  During the bombing of a city in World War II, a large statue of Jesus Christ was severely damaged.  When the townspeople found the statue among the rubble, they mourned because it had been a beloved symbol of their faith and of God’s presence in their lives.
Experts were able to repair most of the statue, but its hands had been damaged so severely that they could not be restored.  Some suggested that they hire a sculptor to make new hands, but others wanted to leave it as it was-a permanent reminder of the tragedy of war.  Ultimately, the statue remained without hands.  However, the people of the city added on the base of the statue of Jesus Christ a sign with these words: “You are my hands.”  Thanks to you for being those who serve as Christ’s hands!!!
As we look over the June calendar it appears to be a slow month.  Which is probably a good thing and a good time for family fun and vacations.  Also we will have our “RODEO DAYS” to celebrate, yard work to do and kids and grandkids out of school, which always keeps us extra busy.
We have really enjoyed visiting in your wards and participating in you Ward Conferences.  It is great for us to get to know each of you better and to associate with the sisters in your wards.
