With this...you will have no excuse...they make it just sooo easy!

This is an example layout of the lessons:

Song: "I am a child of God"
Prayer

Lesson-Story/quote to read
Activity-you're "it" game or object lesson

Then there is a coloring page, puzzle, etc to print off.

How easy is that! Email me if you want it! Marinda

looking for...

Sis. Sandi Watson would like to find out if anyone in the ward has the 7 volume set of the documentary history of the church. If they do, would they be willing to let her borrow them, perhaps one volume at a time?

Powdered Laundry Soap

As many of you have requested the "recipe" for the laundry soap I thought I would post it here.

Powdered Laundry Soap

1 cup grated Fels Naptha Soap
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup 20 mule team borax

Mix and store in airtight container or bag. For light or small loads, use 1 tablespoon. For normal loads, use 2 tablespoons. For heavy loads, use 3 tablespoons.

To make a large batch - grate 6 bars of Fels Naptha Soap and then add 3 cups of Washing Soda and 3 cups of 20 Mule Team Borax. Mix well and store in covered container.

TIP: The above recipes will NOT make suds in your washer so don't be alarmed. Fels Naptha Soap is a pure soap and typically makes little or no suds in the water. This makes it perfect for use in the new HE washers as well as traditional washers. You will also notice the need to either reduce your laundry softener or in most cases you can even eliminate the use of softener completely.
