Letter from a Sister at the Well

We would love to hear about you and your scripture study group.  If you will email us at 
sistersatthewell@mac.com
I can turn it into a post on this blog.  Not that I'm promising to post EVERY email.  I'm not that organized.  But we like knowing what people are doing .
The following comes from Sister Michelle Waddell from the El Cerrito Ward in Corona, CA where they have two groups meeting.  Once you hear their idea you say, Why didn't I think of that!  Great idea:
"I think that it has been very beneficial- there are some of the sisters that felt that they were not as spiritually smart as some of the others and were quite relieved when they came up with the same answer- it def. gave them confidence. We rotate who is going to lead the discussion. But we keep the meeting place at the same persons home and they are the one who sends out the reminder to each sister. So far that has been working well for us. There are some that never want to be the one to lead the discussion which is fine but I think that all feel comfortable to speak up and voice what they feel. For me it has helped me to really think about what I am reading and how I can apply it. We read every day with my 3 young children but this is something that is just for me plus it shows them that Mommy also studies the scriptures on her own." Michelle Waddell
