  1. I can totally feel your pain there... hehe... I have the same problem... Actually, far far worse
  2. If I remember correctly, you guys did very well in the Confederations Cup last year
  3. I am the RS counsellor who is over Additional RS Meetings... It has taken me a few months to actually get into that part of my calling. Have you checked out The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with the latest guidelines? I love the new stuff on the Church website as well as the planning idea that has been provided... Feb will be the first month that we will be using the planning idea. The way that I decided to use this idea was to have one filled in for each meeting & that goes with the RS Pres when she has her montly meeting with the Bishop & he approves or adds what he feels are needs of the sisters. I have recently had had an "enrichment leader" called & had a great first meeting with her. What I did last year was give a survey to the sisters along with a few questions to get the basics of what the sisters are actually interested in in the hopes of getting more to come.. That went off very well. I also have decided on the themes for the months to the end of the year.. I think that makes it much easier. We are a very involved presidency when it comes to these meetings. Some websites that has great planning tools as well as ideas (the basics are the same, you just need to change the headings etc on them): Sugardoodle.net The Idea Door | The Idea Door LDSSplash.com - A fun site full of great ideas and games for the LDS family! (www) Of-Worth.com The Homemaking Cottage - Home Relief Society www.mormonshare.com/relief_society/ Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment Meeting (this one is my favourite one.. I got loads of ideas & planning tools from here) You can also try LDS - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Mormons At the moment I have mini classes etc planned to the end of the year.. We just need to finalise everything.

  18. How would that be inappropriate? So then we should not have babies blessed in meetings.. We should not have converts who were baptised recive the Holy Ghost in meetings? Every child is entitled to that blessing.. Older or not

  20. Reasons why I am considering homeschooling: * Education here - even a not so decent one - is getting really expensive (No, our tax money does not go towards any education here) * I worry about what my child with actually get out of a class that has a 1:30 or even 1:40 ratio. * I worry that things will not improve by the time my child is school going age * I worry about my child's safety * I think that I can offer my child so much more at the same cost if I were to home school him * I think that I can give him a more international exposure to the world that what he would get at school These are just a few resons why I want to homeschool
  21. Mc Donalds in Malaysia is open 24hours.. They also deliver... Till like 3am. They did have a few local additions too. Mc Donalds in South Africa has recently gone to 24hours
