A little introduction

Hi, I live in Houston Texas and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My current calling in the church is Provident Living Specialist. When I first started this calling, I had 3 children, pregnant with the 4th and I wrote email newsletters. Now that I have given birth to our 4th child and several things have changed, including my struggle to keep everyone's contact information current, I have discontinued doing the newsletters. I have started holding monthly classes in my home pretaining to Provident Living. Still several of the ward members here in the area miss the newsletters and some can not attend the classes. So without flooding your email inbox and struggling to keep everyone's email current, here I offer this little corner of the world wide web.

I will continue to hold monthly meeting in my home. After the meeting, I will take a few minutes and post what we talked about, that way if you were unable to come you can still hear what went on, and hopefully you'll be able to come the following month.

Also, I will be posting my own personal adventures with Provident Living and all that this calling, this church and my life has taught me pertaining to that. Even before I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I had a strong desire to be self sufficient. So the things I post are not just my current "job" in church, but also a part of my own journey.

My hope is that perhaps my own personal journey along with the classes held in my home will encourage others to pick themselves up out of debt and strive to be more self succient in all areas of life.

Let not the winds of economic or social change uproot our family trees. Let us keep our values and hold dear to the values of our forefathers. Let us learn from each other both the gospel and of its spiritual matters as well as its temporal matters.

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!
