February Presidency Message - From Sister Barbara Chamberlain
We wish to express our sincere thanks to all who helped with, or attended our Women's Conference. It was absolutely a very spiritual and delightful presentation. All who attended were certainly blessed for being there. The group, "One Clear Voice" blessed our lives with their beautiful music and inspirational stories and thoughts. One of my favorite songs was entitled, "Because I Know You." And it brought to my mind that we as a Stake Relief Society are so happy for being able to know and work with you sisters. "Because we know you," our lives are made better.
On March 17, 1842, 20 women gathered and heard the Prophet Joseph Smith announce the official establishment of the Relief Society Organization. One hundred seventy years later, more than 6 million sisters around the world still strengthen each other and build the kingdom of God.
This year it seems even more appropriate to celebrate "The glorious heritage of Relief Society," which ties back to the ancient church during the time of Jesus Christ. This year marks 170 years since Relief Society was once again established in this dispensation. The purposes of Relief Society have remained constant through all time, says Relief Society General President, Julie Beck.
So once again, may we thank you and each Relief Society presidency for all you do in the great work of this organization. In each ward you are helping to further the great work of Relief Society. We love you and appreciate you more than we can express.
We encourage each Relief Society sister to read the lessons from our manual before coming to your Relief Society meetings. In the January Ensign there was a beautiful article on President George Albert Smith. This article focused on the love President Smith had in his heart for all people. President Smith believed that "if we truly have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it will manifest itself in our lives - particularly in the way we treat one another. President Smith said that we can "meet our problems in the spirit of love and kindness towards all. What a joy, what a comfort, what a satisfaction can be added to the lives of our neighbors and friends through kindness."
May each of us not judge those around us but treat everyone with love and kindness. We love you sisters and all you do in your wards. May the Lord continue to bless you and your families as you serve.
With love and thanks,
Barbara Chamberlain

Relief Society Spotlight - Sister Marilyn Adams
With many thoughts of giving on my mind lately, I have been thinking about several people…particularly Relief Society sisters who have affected for good my life and the lives of many others. I would like to share with you one such Relief Society sister and dear, sweet friend…who so many times…(well, alwaysJ) has been the epitome of a giving, Christ-like person. Her name is Marilyn Adams.
Sister Marilyn Adams is a beloved member of the Lehi 5th Ward. She has spent her life in the service of her family and so many others. She supported her seven sons as they all earned their Eagle Scout Awards. Marilyn was very active in the Scouting Program, and I am sure her great influence helped many young men learn and grow not only in Scouting, but for life. I have often heard many 5th warders comment on how Marilyn always taught her children how to serve others and that she would be right there with them helping someone in need.
Sister Adams is a very talented person…she has crocheted and knitted many things, such as: scarves, hats, sweaters, socks, earmuffs w/ pretty crocheted flowers on them, towels, wash clothes, hot pads and many things for humanitarian projects. All these things have been made with love for someone else. Her time and talents are surely put to good use.
Marilyn always wanted to serve a mission with her husband Steve. She said that in order for it to happen they had to plan and focus on it in advance. This goal they worked for became a reality when they received their mission call to the Philippines, Bacolod Mission. They served there from April 2009 – September 2010. Marilyn said that she learned many things on her mission…she said that she realized the importance of slowing down and enjoying what is really important. She learned that it’s good to relax… “It is what it is…and that we need to go forward.” She learned on a deeper level about how important family is and how important relationships are. She said, since coming home from their mission, they have really focused on having good relationships. Marilyn said, “So you can replace the worldly things, but if you don’t have good relationships – what are the worldly things worth?”
One of the things Marilyn focused on doing during her mission, was to write in her journal. She faithfully wrote in her journal every day. During their mission she filled 3 journals! Marilyn said her journals were for her children and grandchildren. What a great gift she has given to them!
Marilyn said that in the Philippines she noticed how Christianity was so important to the people there. She realized what a great influence it can have in our lives if we let it shine out more. Well… Marilyn, you are a shining example of a Christ-like person to us all!
Marilyn said that her all time favorite quote is, “NO ACT OF KINDNESS IS EVER WASTED,” and her favorite Hymn is #219, “Because I Have Been Given Much.”
Thank You Sister Marilyn Adams for your never ending, sweet, loving example and influence of giving your time, talents and all your heart to each one of us…We surely do love you!
