(Continuing from yesterday’s post…) 25 More Ideas 26. Make it a family project to clean, weed, and replace old headstones of ancestors. 27.

Years ago, when I was a Family History Consultant, I compiled this list of ideas. Because there are so many of them (101), I will divide them up into fourths and take the rest of the week to post them. Feel free to share them, but please find something that interests you. The most important […]
In Sept. 1999, under Pres. Mary Ellen Smoot’s Presidency, we were given a declaration that encompassed all the ideals, goals, and purposes of the Relief Society. The declaration lists all of the good works established as Relief Society sisters. And as individual RS presidencies organize the women under them, it would serve them well […]
As the Saints settled in the valley, and began organizing various needs for the community, it became clear that medical education needed to be addressed.

We often get reminded to do missionary work. They say to just hand out a Book of Mormon. We’ve got to get them out. You can do it. But how? Here’s a suggestion: Volunteer among those who are not members. Put yourself out there where you can shine some light and cause a little stir, […]
Almost twenty years ago, a regular woman, like you and me, was called as the Young Women’s President in her stake. Her name was Rose Ann Gunther.
