February Enrichment Meeting

At our February Enrichment meeting Ralina K., led our discussion on parenting teens, which was an extension of her lesson the previous month. Many great ideas and points were shared by the sisters in attendance. 

In our next class, Kristen F.,  shared with us ways we can bring the spirit into our homes through our decorating.  Her emphasis, however, was less on the things we purchase and more on the types of family activities we encourage and participate in such as Family Home Evening, Scripture Study, and service to others.  She shared with us some family photo albums.  The memories and good feelings these simple  picture albums bring, have helped to contribute to the spirit she seeks to have in her home.  

Kristi C. then shared with us how to make homemade 

egg noodles for soups.
