Let's Build on a Solid Foundation

January RS Meeting

UPDATE: 
Many of you have expressed interest in this activity. It was held about about 4 years ago, and we are no longer consistently monitoring this blog. I was finally able to track down the original documents and have included them as images here for reference. I apologize if this does not meet your needs. Thanks for your patience. 

2013 Relief Society Theme

We are excited to announce our new RS theme for the year 2013.

Let's be wise and build upon a strong foundation together!

New Baby!

Sisters--

Let's welcome Bradley Feleti Aiono into the world and into our ward. This new son of Kate and Dallin Aiono was born on December 31st. He was 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20 inches long and he is no doubt as beautiful as his parents. Kate, Dallin and Bradley are all doing well.

Welcome, Bradley! We are looking forward to getting to know you!
