To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In the movie, A Beautiful Mind, John Nash is a schizophrenic genius. He meets a woman who falls in love with him and they marry. She realizes that even though she loves him dearly, she is a 24-hour nanny to him and the pressure is overwhelming. Yet Alicia Nash is still able to say, “I […]
When my husband and I were first married we belonged to a ward that was affectionately referred to as “Newly wed and Nearly dead”. It’s funny, now years later, we are in a similar ward where we are closer to the nearly dead members. Oh well, what goes around comes around, right? There are a […]
“To supplement the instruction in Sunday meetings, Relief Society sisters may participate in additional meetings. These may include service, classes, projects, conferences, and workshops.

Belle Spafford was president of the Relief Society for twenty years. The Church went through much growth and change during her presidency. It’s too bad most of the sisters in our Relief Society don’t know this vibrant, loveable, and intelligent woman. Read her bio here for a little background on her. Here are a […]
Our guest post comes from Joyce Barrett Stephenson. When I was fifteen I was inspired to write a letter to myself at age twenty-five. I read this idea in a book, and thought it was a good one. So, on July 16, 1939, I wrote my letter and sealed it up. Managing to take this […]
WRITING YOUR HISTORY YOUR WAY I’ve read through several personal histories and all of them have been different; as different as the individuals who lived them. When writing a personal history it becomes your personalized record of you; yourself, your life’s experiences, your feelings, even your innermost thoughts. Everyone’s life should have a […]
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 […]
