To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Do you have a Gift of the Spirit? Have you nurtured it, practiced it, used it for good? Many gifts of the spirit are listed in the scriptures, but I would guess there are more to be considered. I will begin the list, but I would like to see us all add to this list. […]
The Book of Mormon parallels the time of the restoration to the end of the Millennium or the celestialization of the earth. Book of Mormon Lehi – Father, Patriarch and had Vision of the Tree of Life Nephi – Younger son, Prophet, King or Governor of the land Mosiah I – Lead exodus to […]
The Church is in need of Senior Missionaries. Why aren’t more couples going out, do you suppose? Fear is probably at the top of the list.
