It's been another dry spell... but the rain is here so we're gonna try to fill your cup!!

Can any of you believe that its October already?? Where did this year go?? Everyone we speak to agrees that we scarcely had a summer this year. Our recent heat spell has received mixed emotion after our all but non existent summer. Today its raining...who knows what tomorrow will bring!!

This past weekend we were treated to a wonderful General Conference. It's always great to hear our prophet, Pres Thomas S Monson, speak....but especially wonderful during our Conference sessions. He is such a warm & genuine man...we LOVED his talks...as well as all of those who shared during this 180th Semi-Annual General Conference.

On Sunday evening, Oct 4th...we were delighted to share in the joy as Delia Torres was baptized by her husband, Emilio Torres. It was a beautiful service. Her brother-in-law, Hector Torres, gave a great talk about baptism. Sister Cathy Torres, Emilio's mother... blessed the meeting with a musical number...and Emilio's grand mother, Sister Elizabeth Ausman, spoke about the Holy Ghost. We are sooo excited to welcome Delia to our ward family. If you have not had the privilege of meeting her...please make every effort to introduce yourself to her. She is a beautiful young lady & we know she will be a great asset to our ward.

This Wednesday, Oct 6th, 2010.....is our ward Temple Night...our session begins at 6:30pm. Please plan to attend...there are many waiting for their work to be done!!

Thursday, Oct 21st, 2010 will be a RS Activity Night at 6:30pm at the Foothill Bldg...Martha Rivera...a recent convert & member of our ward...will be teaching us how to make some really cute aprons. These will be great for Christmas gifts!! We will also have another seasonal activity available. Details forthcoming!!

Saturday, Oct 3oth, 2010 at 4:30-7:30pm is our Ward Halloween Party. Please come join us for a F-U-N filled evening of games, food and trunk or treating. Dinner will be served promptly at 5pm...there will be game booths, a cookie walk....trunk or treating will take place in our parking lot at dark.

We hope all of you are enjoying this Autumn season...life just picks up speed from now through the holidays...make sure you take some time to stop, slow down and enjoy the beauty of the season.
