Keep up the good work!

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you to everyone who has signed up to read with us in our Summer Reading Initiative. We still have a few books that could use more readers, so please take a look at the list below (previous post) and email me at yourliteracyspecialist@gmail.com if you make a selection.

Second, as many of you may already know, I have been released as the Shallowford Ward Literacy Specialist and am moving into Primary. It is a bittersweet change because I love being in Primary, but I will miss the great opportunity it has been to learn and grow alongside all of you. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm! I think we've all learned something along the way, and I hope each of you will continue to pursue knowledge and learning in all its varieties.

Now for the good news! Susan H. will be taking over! She is both dynamic and knowledgeable, and I am looking forward to following her down whatever new roads she takes us. Thanks, Susan!

In closing, I just wanted to share with you one last scripture, truly the motto for all we have done this past year:

78 Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand;

79 Of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—
80 That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you.

D&C 88:78-80

Never stop learning! The Lord has great plans for you. And never doubt that He stands willing to help those who seek to learn and grow. I know personally how true that is, and I challenge you to put it to the test. Keep up the good work!

Happy learning!

Love,
Susannah
