4-H & RS

I am grateful for the 4-H program which taught me how to sew, how to cook, lots of crafts, how to write my ideas down, and gave me time with my mother.
I am grateful for the Relief Society program which allows me to share this knowledge and improve upon it.

2.  Reading, I know that this has been listed many times, but I am grateful for the ability and seeing it develop in my children.
