To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This month’s message is on how we must bleed service to one another. It has to be part of our nature, our very DNA. As Pres. Monson said in last month’s First Presidency message (Aug 2012): “All who have studied mathematics know what a common denominator is. For Latter-day Saints, there is a common denominator […]
Don’t Stop Now!–Suggestions For More Writing Go Back to Lesson 11 This is the last challenge for this course. I would love to hear about Relief Societies following this workshop, and hear some of the beautiful writings they’ve created. This is just one of the ways Relief Society sisters can help one another […]
What If…–Would That My Life Had Been Different Go Back to Lesson 10. We all have regrets. Some are bitter and some are wistful. Write your feelings, but do your best to keep it light, positive, and teaching, like these words from an older man who took the class in my mother’s ward: […]
I am always on the lookout to find people with knowledge and experience. Think what pain we could avoid if we took one another’s experienced advice. Learning from others is the greatest gift we can give ourselves, and our children. My friends, the Stephensons, have raised a brood of children. He worked as a high […]
I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about its history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store? When the gospel was […]
Testimony–A Record for your Posterity Go Back to Lesson 9. Writing down your testimony can be the most important record you leave for your children.

The more I understand about the covenant I make over and over again, when I partake of the Sacrament, the more I feel grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, His atoning sacrifice, and my commitment to Him and the will of my Heavenly Father. We’ve all had multiple lessons on keeping the Sabbath Day […]
In the past, if there was a family having difficulty, the Bishop would find out about it, tell the Relief Society President, who went to the Compassionate Service Leader, who then went to the Visiting Teachers to check up on, and assist. That is a very long protocol. There has been a slight shift, for […]
Combining Historical Research with Family Lore Go Back to Lesson 8. Even though this is a writing course–and hopefully will get you to write your thoughts down in a pleasant, non-threatening atmosphere–this lesson calls for a little more than just sitting down and writing. Where did your family legends come from? Is […]
It’s pretty amazing to think that the Church, in this last dispensation, started with just six people at its organization. Martin Harris, who was one of the Three Witnesses, had lot’s of money, and supplied the means to publish the Book of Mormon. People were put in Joseph Smith’s path that helped him carry forward […]
