February spotlight
Sister Yee spoke at BYU Women’s Conference in 2024 (link at the bottom). It is well worth the time to read the whole article. I’ve needed this reminder of “The Blessing of Covenant Rest”. Dear sisters, we know you have many important demands and priorities to balance in your lives. It may seem ever elusive to find the time you want to do all the things that you desire to do. As covenant women, we can seek the Lord’s wisdom and counsel to know what would be most beneficial in our lives and what can be set aside. What needs to be done today and what can be done another time. President Russell M. Nelson pronounced these special blessings upon us recently in the worldwide Relief Society devotional: “I bless you with increased spiritual discernment and the ability to find joy in offering relief to others. I bless you with the wisdom to discern what is needful and not to run faster than you are able.” As covenant women, we have the blessing of God’s priesthood power that comes through honoring our covenants. His power can help us receive expanded capacity and wisdom to know what is needful and to learn how to “not run faster than [we] are able.” The Lord invites us to go about His work in His way, which is different from the world’s way—different from the frenetic pace that often receives the praise of an overstimulated, over-productive, and exhaustive world. President Nelson encourages us and teaches us about this covenant rest. He has said: “The reward for keeping covenants with God is heavenly power—power that strengthens us to withstand our trials, temptations, and heartaches better. This power eases our way. Those who live the higher laws of Jesus Christ have access to His higher power. Thus, covenant keepers are entitled to a special kind of rest that comes to them through their covenantal relationship with God. … Rest comes when we let Him take our burdens and when we choose to sincerely repent. Rest comes when we trust Him with our needs and our concerns and when we choose a higher and holier perspective. Rest comes when we choose to judge each other less and love each other more. Rest comes when we know that God knows us and loves us. His rest comes when we find joy in bringing the Savior’s relief to others and let others bring His relief to us. Rest comes when we worship in the house of the Lord. Rest comes when we remember and reflect upon the beautiful blessings God mercifully grants us each day. President Nelson has invited us to make “the temple [our] place of refuge and recalibration.” A place where we find rest.
Going to the house of the Lord helps us to think differently. I usually come congested with challenges and concerns and leave with peace, clarity, and hope. Life feels livable. Things of less importance recede, and I know better where to put my time and energy. We leave His house armed with His power and perspective and with “angels round about [us], to bear [us] up.” Sisters, I know God keeps His promises. And I know He desires you to have His promised rest, His “peace and relief.” He wants you to be happy now and not just down the road when you’ve accomplished a task or made it to a milestone. Sometimes I forget that, but I have been reminded time and again that we can find happiness and rest in the present by partnering with Jesus Christ and developing our covenant relationship with God, one day at a time.

Nisha Hill
I grew up and was raised in Ogden, UT. I moved to Idaho Falls around 2008 and have lived here ever since! :) I love it here! I was raised Baptist, but later converted to the church in 2009 after I moved here learning about the church through the missionaries! :) I love helping others anyway I can. I chose a career in healthcare because its very rewarding and your constantly able to help others. I love being served with knowledge of the gospel & church by others - valuable stuff! :) Helping others and hearing the Gospel and doing crafts lol and spending time with family bring me joy. If I could travel anywhere I would go to London. I am fascinated with the Harry Potter movies and have always wanted to see the palace, bing ben or I would love to go on a trek reliving and revisiting church history…so maybe Palmyra. |

Jamie Jones
Hi I’m Jamie Jones youngest daughter of Elder and Sister Strasburg. I was raised in the church which was a huge blessing but I gained my own testimony when I served a mission in Fresno, CA same mission Whitney Lewis serves currently. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I was born in Illinois and moved to Georgia when I was 3 and moved to Maryland when I was 11. I consider Maryland home since I finished high school there. I love helping other people which led me to become a lactation counselor for WIC. I love showing my love by giving gifts and I feel the most loved when people remember little things I’ve told them. My babies bring me joy the most. I have a 6 year old named Dantes and a 4 month old named Emily Elizabeth. I love spending time with my family, music, reading and helping others. If I could travel anywhere it would be the holy land to walk where Jesus walked. He is the reason I am alive and standing each day. My favorite scripture is Doctrine and Covenants 122:8: “the Son of Man hath descended below them all, Art thou greater than He?” It brings me so much comfort knowing there’s nothing I can go through that Christ hasn’t already overcome. |
We are excited to be here, have loved getting to know some of you, and can’t wait to get to know more of you!
