Service Project
Dear Brethren & Sisters,
Attached below is the email from Bishop Neff to the Nineteenth ward members concerning their Humanitarian project for Haiti at 9:00 AM on Saturday in our ward building. We are inviting all Riverwoods members to participate with the Nineteenth ward in assembling the Hygiene kits. I've asked Rob Faux to represent the Bishopric as both Becky & I will be working Saturday morning.
On Sunday, we will be announcing the need for donations to help pay for the Hygiene kits.
Thanks for your help in getting the word out on this important opportunity to help our brother ans sisters in Haiti.
Bishop Nyman
Dear brothers and sisters,
I am certain you are aware of the suffering caused by the devastating earth that struck Haiti earlier this week. The pain and suffering that these brothers and sisters are experiencing are unimaginable. I, like you, am shocked by reports of the numbers of expected dead, injured and homeless. Veteran members of the media say that they have never seen anything like what they are witnessing on this impoverished island in the Caribbean.
We live in a day when we are blessed beyond measure by a loving Heavenly Father. Part of our responsibility, when so blessed, is to take every opportunity to share our gifts with those in need. As a ward family, I see your generosity and I know that our Heavenly Father loves you because of your goodness.
After prayerful consideration, coordinating with our stake presidency, Provo church humanitarian leadership and with our ward welfare committee, I am asking the following:
• Join with our ward and the Riverwoods ward this
Saturday, January 16th at 9:00 AM to build hygiene kits to be delivered to the church humanitarian services department.
I have been told that what the church has on hand won't be enough to cover the needs from this disaster. All family members are invited to attend. It is expected that we will work for 2 hours building an estimated 1,000 hygiene kits.
Church service missionaries will be on hand to supervise, support and approve the kit building activity.
• Raise the money necessary for the cost of the kits. I am keenly aware of trying economic circumstances. The majority of you pay a full tithe, give a generous fast offering and support multiple charities. Please pray to know how to financially support this most righteous endeavor. Each kit costs approximately $5.00. Money to pay for these supplies needs to be raised prior to Saturday to pay for the supplies. Your priesthood and relief society presidencies will contact you by phone seeking donations and commitments for donations. All checks should be written to Edgemont 19th ward and can be noted "Haiti project."
• All members, regardless of their ability to contribute financially, are encouraged to join us at the ward to help build these hygiene kits.
• This Saturday is also a stake emergency preparedness drill. Your priesthood leaders will be creatively combining our Haiti project with this drill to make sure we are accounting for each member during this exercise.
I know that Heavenly Father will bless each of you with a greater sense of love as we participate in this week's disaster relief program. I promise you a greater love for your brothers and sisters and a greater love for the Savior as you faithfully participate.
Thank you for your love and support,
- Bishop Neff

Letter From Claudia Queiroz
Dear Sisters of the Riverwoods Ward:
Thank you so much for your great love and support. We have missed you so much. You are in our prayers. We think of you often.
The Riverwoods Ward had many trials in 2009. We were sadden by these difficult times. We would want to be there and give extra love to all of those Sisters who had hard trials. Your trials are our trials. We have shed tears for your trials because of our great love for each one of you.
We love our mission. It is the best and hardest thing we ever did. At times I want the time to go fast so I can go home and relax, and at other times I want it to go slow so I can feel the intensity of the mission Spirit a little longer. The Spirit is so close here. I feel inadequate all the time, but have learned to rely on the Lord. I also learned that "whom He calls He qualifies." I have to give many talks all the time and the Lord blesses me over and over again. The messages just seem to pop into my mind...a great miracle!
Our missionaries are divine. We love them so much. By now more of our missionaries have finished their mission than the ones we have here. Many of them are already married. They come to visit us, they write letters all the time. We have acquired a new family. About 450 missionaries will serve with us. That means a lot of wedding gifts. I think I will "go broke" in a few years...haha...
On my p-days, which are rare, I go shoe shopping. I have to say that we have the prettiest shoes I have ever seen in this city. And yes, not even the missionary Spirit changed my weakness for shoes...It is a lost case for sure! The good news is that they are cheap here, so if anyone wants to come and shop for shoes...
We had both Branden and Danyel for Christmas and it was awesome. Branden is finishing his mission in a couple of months and I am so sad about that. He is our right hand here. The Lord brought him to the right place after all. Dan is taking good care of our company and he is living in our house in Vintage. He is still single. He is a faithful son and I know that the Lord is preparing someone special for him. To be honest with you I am getting urged to be a grandmother, so if anyone has a single niece or daughter to introduce to him, please don't be shy...
I found for him in Brazil a blond Brazilian girl named Pamela Walter. It was perfect because her full name would be Pamela Walter Queiroz. She would have her father-in-law's name. I was so excited, but Dan did not like her. Pamela even told me that she wanted to name her first born son Walter, so my grandchild would be named Walter Walter Queiroz. How about that? It was perfect. Dan did not agree. It was so much easier in older times when the parents got to choose the spouses for their children...
Branden says that he has many waiting for him, but we will see about that.....haha.... I have to say that he is tall and handsome.
Well, I better go. I can't wait to go to the activites with all of you again. You live in my heart.
Love,
Sister Claudia Queiroz
