Some missions online already!

After the recent announcement that missionaries will be able to use some social media (facebook, blogging, etc.) for missionary work, our Young Women found some of our ward missionaries.

and

I have searched for Austin and Lorijane, but they aren't up yet. Keep looking for them and email me when they come online. Take a look for other missionaries and friends you know or enter your own profile!

(Missionaries are only using their first names for security reasons).

So...on http://mormon.org search under "People" then "Meet Mormons" and then enter a first name and any other key words that you think might identify the person...for Jared I did "Jared California mission" and up popped some pictures and I clicked on his smiley face!

And it begins...What an exciting time in the work of the Lord!

Enjoy!

Tips from Louise Jensen:

* When cooking with tomato sauce, remember to add a pinch of brown sugar. (It will help combat the acidity.)

* Adding a pinch of salt to your icing will help take away that sugary feeling/taste

*Sister Sheri McDonald says Cottage Cheese lasts longer when stored upside down.

Donna Beazer shared with us the schedule for the summer reading program at the Jim and Mary Kearl Library. Program begins on July 9th with a kick off carnival from 1pm-3pm. There are weekday activities scheduled for kids aged 3-14 AND a Closing Concert to celebrate a wonderful Summer of Reading on August 15th 2013. A great idea for the kids, especially with the pool being closed!!!

Marty's tips:

To ensure perfectly tender chicken or beef - soak it overnight (in the fridge;) in a "bath" of oil, chopped onion, and lemon juice. (A bath means fully submerged or covered:)!

Marty also uses his favorite spice which is Seasoning Salt WITH extra garlic powder, salt and pepper added to it, and Italian salad dressing on everything to keep it moist.
