At the risk of sounding like a nag (otherwise known as my job as a wife, mother, and woman), I revisit this daunting topic…Relief Society Meetings. Many of us are still struggling with what to do about these meetings. Sis. Beck, in her most recent talk on the subject, was pretty specific on what NOT […]
