If you missed Enrichment Meeting..

Favorite Johnny Lingo line: "She is worth 10 cows if she is worth a hoof!"

Thanks to the ever entertaining young women for the skit. You all did a great job.

We had a really fun time and got to know a little more about the sisters in our ward. A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, Sister Becky Boone, Sister Kathleen Davis and Brother Smith (seminary instructor) and OF COURSE the enrichment board and the Relief Society presidency for making it happen.

We had a lot of requests for the recipe...here you go:

1 c. chicken broth or water

2 c. chicken, cooked & cubed

Who In the World Is....Stacey Johnson?

We are tickled to have Stacey Lynn Johnson and her family in our ward. Thank you to Stacey for letting us get to know her better! She was born in 29 Palms, CA and did a lot of moving around when she was growing up. She has 3 brothers and 2 sisters with Stacey being the oldest. She and her husband, Butch, met in their high school’s health class and also shared similar friends. They have 4 children, Charlotte age 13, Butch age 12, Jake age 7 and Bailey age 6. Some of the places Stacey has lived include 29 Palms, CA, Orange, CA Oceanside, CA and in Arizona Glendale, Yuma, Phoenix, Buckeye, Tonopah, Avondale, Flagstaff, Litchfield Park, Happy Jack and Eagar. WOW. Stacey says her favorite place to live is everywhere because she was with her family. Her favorite colors are white & green. She enjoys hiking, driving in the forest looking for animals with her family, crochet (although she hasn’t done it for a while), reading and doing anything with her family. Stacey relates one of her most
embarrassing moments: “We moved when I was a Sunbeam and I went to my new ward and very excitedly sang Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam. The first time we sang the word sunbeam, I enthusiastically jumped up out of my seat yelling the word (like we did at my previous ward) while the rest of the primary sang sedately. I don’t really remember what happened after that, but I do remember that it was quickly dropped from my favorite song list.” When asked to share something no one else would know, Stacey reveals: “I have absurdly short toes attached to expansively broad feet.” Good to know! Stacey dreams of traveling the world someday. She has lived in Round Valley a little over two years when Butch was hired to teach computer networking at the high school. Some of her church callings have been: Primary Teacher in CTR 8, Valiant 11 & 12, Counselor. Also in Relief Society: Enrichment Specialist, Chorister, Counselor & Visiting Teacher which has been her favorite because it is easier to help people and she relates she has had some amazing partners. Her favorite Latter-day Prophet is a tie between Spencer W. Kimball and Gordon B. Hinckley. President Kimball because he was always straight forward and President Hinckley because he was straight forward and funny.

Be sure to welcome the Johnsons when you see them!

Do you like to sing? Well now is your chance to shine.

We need at least 8 sisters (we would love to have more) join a one time All Woman's Choir to sing in sacrament meeting, October 18th.

Please contact Sister Jocelyn Jones 3-2481 to join.

If we have enough sisters, we will start practicing in September.

Enrichment Update

READY, SET, BREAK
We would like to encourage all the sisters to invite someone- like one of your neighbors or your visiting teaching ladies to attend the Enrichment meeting on August 29th. Go the extra mile and offer to go with them or car pool.

Enrichment Meeting "How to be a 10 Cow Woman"

In case you are not sure what a 10-cow woman is: It is a reference to a movie titled "Johnny Lingo" in which a Hawaiian (hence the tropical theme) young men desires to increase the self esteem of his future bride by paying far too much to receive her hand in marriage. Often a quality wife went for 4 or 5 cows but he chose to pay 10 cows for his wife Mohana. As a result she BECAME a beautiful woman, living up to his views of her worth.
The date is set for Saturday, August 29th, 6pm at the stake center. To get you in the mood, come wearing your grass skirts & leis!! Seriously-you don’t want to miss this night, we have fun & enriching things planned for you. This is a perfect night to invite & bring a friend. Come enjoy a night off with dinner served & babysitting provided. We will have door prizes too!! In case that doesn't appeal to you.....here are a few more reasons:

TOP 10 reasons to attend Enrichment night:

1) Your husband COULD do the dishes while you are gone.

2) You won’t have to answer the phone.

3) You won’t have to be the referee for the children.

4) You won’t have to help with the homework and embarrass yourself because you don’t know the answers.

August Spotlight

We are so happy to have Cheryl and her family in our ward and she kindly agreed to be our August Spotlight. A big thank you to Cheryl for letting us get to know her

better!

She was born in Miami, AZ and grew up in Roosevelt and Globe/Miami, AZ area. She has 1 brother and 2 sisters and Cheryl is the 2ND oldest. Her and her husband were married in 1987 and they have 2 beautiful little girls, Ayla Ann and Ethel Ann. Cheryl and her husband met at his pool in Globe, she was good friends with his niece and decided they should meet. Later they all went to a George Straight concert. In 1988 they lived in Alabama near Fort Rucker for her husband's training. May 1988, they moved to Berlin Germany for his first duty station. Cheryl says this was the most exciting place they ever lived because it is so different there and they had the opportunity to be there when the Wall fell. Cheryl says even with all the excitement of a new place, the whole time they were there, they missed their families. After that, they moved back to Globe and lived there until 2001 when they moved to Show Low. They moved to Eagar in 2005 to be closer to her husband's work. Cheryl's favorite color is blue and favorite food is chocolate. She likes to sew, read, quilt, work in the yard and visit with family. Cheryl served in the nursery in Berlin and has served in the Primary presidency in Show Low and is now in the nursery again. She loves serving in the nursery the best because the kids are so young and sweet. Cheryl's favorite prophet is President Hinckley.
