Dear Sisters,
We would like to invite you to join us for the Farmington Utah Stake Women’s Conference on Thursday, September 9, 2021 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. It will be an evening of uplifting messages, beautiful music, service, and socializing. We know this letter is an early announcement of that evening, but we also have a prophetic challenge that we invite you to participate in.
In the recent April General Conference, President Russell M. Nelson issued a call to each of us to start today to increase our faith in Jesus Christ. He promised that through our faith, Jesus Christ will increase our ability to move the mountains in our lives—not the mountains of rock that beautify the earth but the mountains of misery in our lives. Our mountains will vary, and yet the answer to each of our challenges is to increase our faith. The mountains in our lives do not always move how or when we would like, but our faith will always propel us forward. Faith always increases our access to godly power. Faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest power available to us in this life. We invite you to study his message, https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/04/49nelson?lang=eng. President Nelson offered five suggestions to help us develop that faith and trust.
We hope that you will take the opportunity to set a goal in each of the five areas to work on between now and September 9th. We want to hear about how this effort helps you, as we know it will. We have started a private Facebook event page with a discussion that is associated with our meeting. This is an opportunity to share your experience with this challenge from the prophet, and read and comment on others’ experiences, by answering the question: How has your faith increased to move the mountains of challenge or misery in your life?
In addition, we will be preparing to participate in a service project the evening of our meeting. We will be putting together “Fresh Start Kits” for the Davis County Jail for inmates being released. We have set up an online sign up sheet to collect the requested items. The link to the SignUp Genius is https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0F4BA4A623AAF58-farmington. Your ward Relief Society presidency will be facilitating the collection of the items prior to the event. This service project is an opportunity to serve those in our community who may be starting down a new path and need a fresh start. Please reach out if you have any questions.
President Nelson reminded us that, “Everything good in life–every potential blessing of eternal significance–begins with faith. Allowing God to prevail in our lives begins with faith that He is willing to guide us.” As a Stake Relief Society presidency we want to express our love to you and our gratitude for our loving Savior who desires to help, guide and bless each of us.
With love,
Jewal Caldwell, Rachel Jensen, Cheryle Mounteer, Natalie Brush
Farmington Utah Stake Relief Society Presidency
