Priest/Laurel Prom

Sister Skinner, who is in a different ward, contacted me about the Priest/Laurel Prom. She’s in need of WHITE Christmas lights for decorations. Here’s part of her email:

We are in need of multiple Small Clear or white (white cord) lights for the Priest Laurel Prom. It is on May 8th. We would need them by May 6th.
If you have lights to loan her, please give contact me and I will give you her contact info. Thanks and Love,

Holy Cow Cake

Holy Cow Cake
Serves: 20

Cake: 1 package (18.25 oz.) plain devil's food cake mix

Topping: 1 Jar (8 oz.) caramel topping
1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
4 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 oz. each), crushed
1 container (12 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package cream cheese (8 oz.), at room temperature

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a 9 X 13 baking pan. Set aside.
2. Bake cake. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Immediately poke holes in the top of the cake with a drinking straw or chopsticks. ( I used the end of a wooden spoon)
3. Prepare the topping. Place the caramel topping and sweetened condensed milk in a small bowl and stir to combine. Spoon this mixture over the warm cake so that it can seep down into the holes. Measure out half of the crushed candy bars and sprinkle the pieces over the cake.
4. Place the whipped topping and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and combined, 1 minute. Spread the mixture over the top of the candy. Sprinkle the remaining candy pieces on top.
5. Place the pan, uncovered, in the refrigerator to chill the cake for about 20 minutes before cutting it into squares and serving.
(Store this cake, covered in waxed paper, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)

Book Club - March

This month's book for the Church Book Club is Yearning for the Living God, by F. Enzio Busche.

Below is a description taken from Desert Book.com:

F. Enzio Busche, emeritus member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, was born in Germany in 1930, three years before Hitler's rise to power. Fifteen years later, when World War II ended, Enzio was a prisoner of war, having been drafted into the German army at age fourteen. The war left Enzio with many questions: Is there a God? What is the purpose of Life? What happens after death? In time, he learned the answers. Yearning for the Living God is a collection of Elder Busche's experiences — both before and after his conversion — and an account of the life-changing awakening that can come to all who search for truth in this world.

They have their shoes resoled, they patch, they mend, they sew, and they save money. they avoid insallment buying, and making purchases only after waving enough to pay case, thus avoiding interest charges. Frugality means to practice careful economy.} James E. Faust
