Presidency Message:

Happy New Year's Sisters! I have a great love for each of you. Above is a picture that our presidency has chosen for the years we are serving each of you.The Savior went out to find the one that was lost and rejoiced as He brought the lamb home (Luke 15: 4-6). Each of us at one time is the sheep who is lost and needs to be lovingly picked up and brought home. Each of us are beloved and seen by our Savior Jesus Christ. You are known to Him. I know this is true. 

Ministering has been on my mind often as I have been called to this calling. Our stake and ward is making an emphasis on ministering to the one, to love and serve those whom we are called to minister, and to love, share and invite our neighbors and friends to come and see. 

The late Elder Holland said, "I ask you to be a healer, be a helper, be someone who joins in the work of Christ in lifting burdens, in making the load lighter, in making things better..lots of people on your right hand and on your left are carrying bumps and bruises that they hope will be healed and made whole. Someone (living) within reasonable proximity to you is carrying a spiritual or physical or emotional burden of some sort or some other affliction drawn from life’s catalog of a thousand kinds of sorrow." (https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/jeffrey-r-holland/come-unto/). 

I invite you to start the new year with a new goal to renew your efforts to be as the Savior and love, serve, see, and know those around you and those you are called to minister. I know that great blessings and miracles will occur as you involve the Savior in your efforts. I appreciate all you are already doing to serve the sisters in our ward boundaries.  

I love you and am here for each of you! 

Love, Annie Robbins
