To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The Mormon women, who first lived in the Salt Lake Valley, were persecuted for their devotion to polygamy. To us, polygamy is pretty distasteful, and we avoid the subject. But to them, it was their lifestyle, their belief, and their choice, and they wanted the world to just leave them alone. In the Dec. 1, […]
Another article found in the Women’s Exponent (1878), gives us an idea of the times our sisters were living in. Mormon women wanted the right to vote all for the purpose of keeping their freedom to live in polygamy. They felt this lifestyle, not only came from God, but allowed them freedom to become their […]
I found this interesting article written by “Aunt Em” (Emmeline B. Wells) in the Women’s Exponent (Nov. 15, 1878). A couple of things you need to know before you read on. Emmeline was very vocal in her role as editor of this paper. Her opinions were very strong, but more importantly, she was a spokesperson […]
Why do the men get all the good talks? Thank goodness we women have the opportunity to read these talks eventually. Many of them are used as lesson material for our Third Sunday lessons, so watch for an opportunity to use this great talk, by President Eyring, about Visiting Teaching. He opens his talk with […]
I’m not into politics, but I think I’m going to have to bone up. We can’t help but hear (and worry) about what’s going on in our country. As I recall from history lessons, this country was set up to be governed by the voice of the people. But it is my opinion there are […]
Conference talks are meant to inspire us and remind us. We keep getting warned of the evils of the world encroaching upon us. We keep getting encouragement to fight the good fight and stay strong. And we keep feeling the Spirit as we listen to our prophets speak to us. Elder D. Todd Christofferson spoke […]
Our fifth General Relief Society President, Emmeline B. Wells, was an amazing woman. We need to remember her and her great work for us Emmeline Blanche Woodward was born in Petersham, Massachusetts on February 29th, 1828 (leap-year). Since her childhood years, she felt she was meant to accomplish something specific and significant. She was bright […]
Joseph asked Emma to collect hymns to be used at worship services almost immediately after the organization of the church. Emma spent the next five years compiling what would become a collection of ninety hymns. She was careful in her selection and took time to pick and organize the best. William W. Phelps helped […]
Have you ever taken the time to read the beautiful words of our hymns? These words can give us comfort, hope, and motivation just when we need them most. When music is added to them, it can almost wash all our anxieties away. “Where, when my aching grows, Where when I languish, Where, in my […]
Spiritual Preparedness is a message the leaders of our church have been teaching us for a very long time; and that would include Bible and Book of Mormon leaders. We listen well enough, but sometimes that’s as far as it goes. We don’t internalize the gospel until it means something to us. While preparing a […]
