“The word motherhood defines women’s eternal roles; it describes their nature as nurturers” (Daughters in My Kingdom [2011], 156).
Have you ever heard of Mother Education? I hadn't either until today. I was looking today on the lds.org website and I found it in the Relief Society section.. Here is the link: http://www.lds.org/service/serving-in-the-church/relief-society/messages-from-leaders/mother-education?lang=eng
I have often felt that my gospel study was not sufficient. I read the scriptures, and while I think this is important, I have often longed for a course of study that was more specific to my chosen field, motherhood. I am very excited about this and intend to start using it as an addition to my scripture study. I hope that you may also find it useful.
Love to you all,
Jaime

Happy Birthday!
On March 17, 2012, the Relief Society commemorated its 170th anniversary. In the Gulfport Ward, we celebrated with a delicious progressive dinner, a cake and we gave away our friendship quilt. We would like to thank all of the sisters who worked so hard to plan and execute such a fun activity. We would also like to thank all of those sisters who came and partied with us. Here are some pictures . . .
Our finished friendship quilt was given to Sister Keron McDaniel.
The first Phase of our progressive dinner was the salad course. We were seating according to birth month which enabled us to get to know each other a little better.
The second phase of the progressive dinner was the main course. There was a yummy corn casserole and a tasty German dish of meat wrapped in a pastry. This time we were seated according to birth year.
While we ate cake we played a game where we got to look at baby pictures of different sisters and guess who they were. Sister Oatman won this game by getting the most correct answers.
Mmmmmmmmm cake.
Happy 170th birthday to the Relief Society!

Humanitarian Project
For the past few months, our Relief Society has been working on humanitarian projects. The sisters in the ward have been sewing baby quilts and layettes as well as crocheting baby booties among other things. It has been a lot of fun and will be great to see all of the finished products.
