Rosewood Ward: Relief Society Reading Challenge

11 week Reading and Discussion Challenge will begin Feb. 1 and end April 24 2016

If you need a copy, there are a few options. Downloaded one on LDS.org as MP3 or PDF. or you can read online. Here is my experience trying the various options.

Paper Back
I have the paper back and love how it feels in my hands and being able to mark it up with a highlighter.

Online
 I really enjoyed reading online because I like the ease of cross referencing. The online version is easy peasy, but there is no way to mark-up/highlight

Download PDF
 From my iPad, tried to download the two options available on the church's website. I managed to download the PDF, it's a great way to read the book if cross referencing does not interest you or you don't mind the copy and paste idea.

Download MP3
I was never able to download the MP3 version to my iPad, or maybe I can't figure out where it went. I was able to download  MP3 to my macbook. If you would rather listen to the book, it works beautifully. Not quit as seamlessly as I would like because it is 15 separate MP3 recordings. Still, it will be convenient listening to a chapter while I sew....again no option for easy cross referencing.

The Gospel Library
At the moment, this is probably my favorite option for our group. The book is available in the Gospel Library app.
 >Family (the icon is the Family A Proclamation to the World). See the Note icon? Remember it for future reference.



>Daughters in My Kingdom.

This option is just like using your scriptures in The Gospel library. You can cross reference, take notes, add tags, book mark or listen to it as a podcast episode.

A BIG perk I like is that we can share our Gospel Library notes on Facebook.  As we move closer to the start date, I will put up a tutorial for note sharing.

Relief Society Fiesta Night

                                                     Relief Society Fiesta Night

Lots of love went into making the evening a success.  Cute decorations, delicious side dishes and wonderful teachers.  If you missed any recipes, we will have a few of them in Relief Society on Sunday.

Taking pictures and video was a spur of the moment idea.  Everything was taken with a phone, it was  much better in person.
