Relief Society 167th Birthday Celebration

Thursday, 19th March 2009

In 2008, the Yuma Stake celebrated the Relief Society's 166th birthday on Saturday, 8 March, with a talentime program and lunch. I don't remember the ward I go to, in 2008, celebrated the occasion. If she did, I didn't attend.

This year the Yuma Stake celebrated on Saturday, 28 February, with a talk and lunch. I lost my concentration with the talk because it was too long for me.

The ward that I go to, this year, celebrated the occasion as her quarterly Home, Family and Personal Enrichment (HFPE) activity tonight, with a small talk, cake and ice-cream.

These decorations, on the tables attracted my attention. I have not seen them before. Very creative!







Ony the cupcakes and the sweets on the tables could be eaten. The rest were glued to the sticks!


Interestingly, the St. Patrick's Day celebration happened to be the same day as the birthday of the Relief Society - 17 March.

Yuma Arizona Stake 50th Anniversary Celebration

Saturday, 26 April 2008

We have the machine. We have the sugar. We have people scheduled to work every half an hour. We have children queuing for it. BUT there was a problem with the supply of electricity to the cotton candy machine. It kept shutting off even before and after our schedule time.



This is one fishing ground where you would definitely get a 'fish'. I went around to check what is behind the curtains. There were a few youth sitting there placing 'fish' (I didn't go closer to see what they were) onto the line/hook that was thrown down to their side.

Yuma Arizona Stake Family Christmas Fireside

Sunday, 9 November 2007

It was a special music program, put forwarded by the Yuma Stake Single Adults tonight. This was the best Christmas Fireside I have attended so far. I love every minute of it, listening to the singers, pianists, guitarist, flutist, violinists and a story-teller. One thing about having performances in the chapel is that we can't clap our hands!

Stake Relief Society Sisters Temple Day

Saturday, 17 November 2007

Thanks to Mike. If it was not for Mike's encouragement, I wouldn't have join this trip.

There were about 50 of us going on the bus. 6 of us were from the same ward, the rest are from the other wards in Yuma. The other Sisters went in their own private cars. I understood there were altogether more than 100 Sisters participating in today's Relief Society activity. .

My 2nd time to the Mesa Arizona temple. Being Saturday, there were a lot of people outside and inside the temple. These 2 couples were married today!

Except for the tiring 6 hrs bus ride of the day, I am glad I took the opportunity to visit the Lord's house and the opportunity to know other Sisters from the other wards.

and saw grapefruit tree for the very first time! There were a row of the trees in the temple ground! Reminded me of the mangoes in my Mum's garden
