Sunday, August 30th, Bishop and our RS President gave a great 5th Sunday lesson on Provident Living, Self-Reliance and Welfare. It was to help inspire us all to do better as we prepare for the future and to make changes in our lives that will help us be more self-reliant.
The RS President shared a story about Gullible Gulls related by Pres. Marion G. Romney. The article, "The Celestial Nature of Self-Reliance" has been re-printed in the March 2009 Ensign and can also be found online. She also encouraged everyone to think of what they can change or do better at and to write it down and do it.
Bishop relayed a lesson his brother learned from a church training meeting that no matter how well you treat your wife, you can always do better. He applied that to welfare and service: No matter how much you give or serve, you can always do better.
These are a few brief recollections I have from this great lesson, but it was tape recorded. If you missed attending this meeting and are interested in listening to the recording, leave a comment and I will get back to you or you can contact the RS President to get the recording.

Thanks for posting a link to that talk by Pres. Romney! We do have a cassette tape, and it will be available after the former Primary Presidency has had a chance to hear it, because they were diligently teaching all the children so the rest of us could attend! :) Please do talk to me if you want it! :)
