Sister Jennifer Fiso
Mesquite, Nevada Stake Relief Society
Dear Sister Jennifer and all the sisters of the stake,
I enjoyed my visit with you last January and have reflected again and again on the generosity of spirit I felt when we were all together for the Relief Society conference until I simply had to write you and tell you so.
Since I have been at home during the pandemic, I have had a chance to enjoy some of the things you gave me. I have loved the scripture crossword books someone selected (perfect for me!). I have shared with my family the Dian Thomas activity books, and just this week I finished the Mesquite Centennial book “A River and a Road.” The photographs made this history come alive and I loved it. Of course the spectacular lemon cream pie is long gone but the beautiful quilt still reminds me of my sisters in the Virgin River Valley.
These gifts are outward signs of the ministering spirit we try to share with everyone. When I think of a Zion community, I will now think of the Virgin River Valley -- not because everything goes right but because old friends and new try to help each other through anything that happens.
The coronavirus has created new opportunities to minister. It has hit our Navajo and Hopi friends
unusually hard. I have no doubt the Mesquite Nevada sisters are in the middle of all that is good.
I truly love the power of Relief Society to represent the Savior Jesus Christ in the world. You are some of the very best. May the Lord bless you with eyes to see and the power to respond in love and unity. You have certainly made a difference with me
.
Much love, your sister
Sharon Eubank
