I enjoy reading young adult fiction, particularly historical fiction.
8. Share one of your most embarrassing moments.
At my first youth conference when I was 14, I was
on my period, and my pad overflowed and I didn't have a change of pants. It was awful!
9. Share something about you that no one would know about.
I picked my husband out of the "Ward Menu" (my BYU ward picture directory) almost 4 months before we ever even talked!
10. Share a dream that you have, something you would like to do or see some day.
I would love to go on a real vacation with just my husband. We were too poor for a honeymoon, and as soon as we could afford anything, we started to have children. I'd love to spend a week away with just the two of us.
11. Name a movie or book that best describes you or your life.
This one takes too much thought for my mushy brain. :-)
12. What are some of the callings you have had in the church? Which was your favorite? Why?
Sunday School teacher, Primary teacher, Youth Mission Prep teacher, Seminary teacher. My favorite was
teaching Seminary; it was hard to get up everyday and to have a lesson prepared each time, but I loved
forming real relationships with the youth and serving the Lord every single day.
13. Who is your favorite Latter-day Prophet and why?
Gordon B. Hinckley. I got to meet him when he dedicated the Columbus temple. He let my brothers and I put some mortar in the cornerstone.

Don't have just one. The cool colors in general (greens, blues, etc.)
6. Your favorite food?
Depends on the day, but ice cream is usually near the top
7. What are some things that you enjoy doing?
I like to read (fiction), I'd like to learn more sewing/crafting, as I've enjoyed the little I've done. Sleep is always good. I used to like to go for walks, back before I had kids...
8. Share one of your most embarrassing moments.
Can't really think of any good ones.

I think it'd be really cool to work backstage with theater, or TV, or (especially) movies, though I have no experience with it whatsoever.

I'd like to go on a hot air balloon ride. And see the Pacific Northwest of the US.

I'm not sure I could pick just one book. There are too many good ones out there. Most of my favorites tend to be fantasy.

Relief Society, Young Womens, Nursery, a few others. I haven't really kept track. Not sure I had one I particularly liked.

I guess Gordon B Hinckley, just because he's really the only one I've known.

Relief Society Birthday
Come out to the Relief Society Birthday Celebration
Thursday, March 24th 6:30 pm
Fill The Temple Week
The week of April 12-16, 2011 the Stake Presidency has asked the members of our Stake to FILL THE TEMPLE, meaning they would like see every session filled with members from our stake.
President Cummings has stated that, “For most of our members, mid-week temple attendance will require extra planning, sacrifice, and service to one another. We hope that all members will recognize the blessings that will come from these acts of faith in order to gather to the Lord's house.”
We encourage everyone that has a current temple recommend to attend as many sessions as you would like and do other ordinances if time permits. If you need help with carpooling or child care, please contact a member of the Relief Society presidency. When you’ve decided on the day and sessions you would like to attend, please sign up in Relief Society or email Ron Ekenstam at rekenstam@prodigy.net. He is in charge of turning in all the reservations for our ward.
Temple Week Schedule to be posted soon
Family History
Dear Sisters of the Peoria Ward,
Bev Yackley and I staff the family history center every Tuesday morning 9:30AM-1:00PM. We would love to see more members use the family history center. We sometimes sit all morning with no patrons to help.
Even if you have little children, you can still do research. Feel free to bring a friend or two and you can take turns watching the children in the nursery or Primary room while the other sister does research. You can even get a group together and bring lunch! Make it a social time.
If you are a beginner, we can help you learn how to get started with family history. Just bring what you already know about your family and we can sit down for a consultation.
We can help you with instructions on how to use the new familysearch system. If you have your membership number (can obtain from the ward clerk, or look on your temple recommend) or an LDS account we will show you how to register for the system. We will also show you how to use the system. This system is used to prepare names for the temple. It isn't hard to navigate and has plenty of online help guides to answer your questions. We can help you prepare names of your ancestors for the eternal blessings obtained through temple ordinances.
