To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
“A fine member of the Church was talking with a neighbor who was not of our faith. When the topic of discussion turned to general conference, the neighbor asked, “You say you have prophets and apostles? And twice a year in a worldwide conference they reveal the word of God?” “Absolutely,” the member replied with […]
I would love to hear what your Relief Societies are doing in your additional activities. Living in different places, and being unique individuals, the creativity must be awesome everywhere we are. So, PLEASE share some of the great things you are doing. When our new activities program came out (in 2009), so many of us […]
It’s interesting to me that Mother’s Day is more anticipated by children and less so by mothers. (In all honesty, mothers don’t really enjoy the day until the grandkids come along.) Father’s Day has always been held at a different level somehow. Many women and children struggle with this particular holiday observance. I have collected […]
Last Mother’s Day, I invited Katie Covey Mangus to share the talk she gave at our Sacrament Meeting, because I thought it was brilliant, and asked if I could post it here on this site. You’ll see why for yourself as I have reposted it below for you to enjoy again. One short year later […]
Everyone has their own idea of how a Relief Society Newsletter should look. Actually, most of them look a lot alike with a list of birthdays, calendar events, and maybe the visiting teaching message for the month. Pretty simple and basic. Some wards have gotten into the Information Age and created blogs where they can […]
I don’t have much to say about this month’s visiting teaching message. But I do have some questions. What did those Saints, in Nauvoo, know about the Lord that made receiving their endowment so important before crossing the Plains? Are we as anxious to go to the temple as those Saints were? When we go […]
For those who were unable to attend the Auxiliary Training in Salt Lake City, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can view the session online at lds.org, as if you were there. They gave us a lot of information, a lot of things to think about, and the spirit flowed. They will continue along […]
I am a big believer in writing personal histories based on stories and experiences. Many lessons and testimonies have been born through a simple story. Let’s be honest, your grandchildren aren’t going to be interested in your detailed daily diary; not when we see journalism reports being cut shorter and shorter on the Internet. News […]
Christmas cards and letters are often a place to list all of the wonderful things you and your family accomplished and experienced during the year. So often we’ll just tell the good things—How great the year was, how wonderful our children are, how beautiful life is for us. Where it is important to show our […]
The following vision was seen in 1884 and recorded in The Young Woman’s Journal in the April 1890 edition. Visions are very personal, but they usually have a definite message, which can help others who may hear and listen. This vision was related by a sister living in Logan, Cache County, Utah: I dreamed I […]
