Spirit thought:  

There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. The scriptures are called "the words of life" in D&C 84:85 - Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man. And nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abudance. {You will also enjoy} increased love and harmony in the home, greater respect between parent and child, {and} increased spirituality and righteousness.

Let’s Recycle & Save $$: Why buy new? Bring your quality used items:

{ Kitchenware clothing (women, men, children) holiday items toys shoes purses books music electronics movies craft supplies sewing office supplies linens tools games décor and more! At the end of the evening all items left on tables will be donated to Deseret Industries.

Let’s Reuse & Reclaim is to use an item more than once. This includes conventional reuse where the item is used again for the same function and new-life reuse where it is used for a new function.

{Baby Wipe Containers Use to store and organize just about anything. Arts and crafts supplies, sewing thread and needles, office supplies, pencils, pens, etc.

{Compact Discs Decorate with paper, ribbon, paint, etc. to make Christmas tree ornaments or door hangers. Use as coasters.

{Fabric Softener Sheets Use as stuffing for stuffed animals and decorative pillows. Reuse in your sock or underwear drawer to keep your clothes smelling fresh.
