To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Here are some ideas you might consider as you teach the value of Virtue: 1) Challenge everyone to find something to walk out on: a movie, a bad song, a gossip conversation, etc. 2) Clean out your closet of immodest clothing. 3) Shop for modest swimsuits—ask the store manager to order some modestware. 4) […]
At the most recent Young Women’s Meeting, Sis. Cook challenged ALL women to fulfill the Personal Progress requirements for the value VIRTUE. The pamphlet is free at the Distribution Center (you could probably get one from your ward Young Women’s President). The definition of Virtue tends to be very nebulous. When the Young Women leaders […]
Promiscuity is an epidemic. Virtue is its opposite. The attitude of this “value” is horribly skewed in the world. We focus on the youth as a place to start preaching and teaching, when in reality this is a problem where every age is affected. Unwed births are surging among women ages 25-29 according to some […]
Are there any good manners left in our society? What happened to Thank You notes, RSVPs, sincere apologies? Is the customer ever right, anymore? Is graciousness old fashioned? Do our young people know how to conduct themselves in a formal situation? Emmeline B. Wells wrote an article in the Women’s Exponent lamenting this very topic […]
Why is it that those who serve in the Primary or Young Women’s, upon release, say they have to get used to Relief Society? It’s because Relief Society has become a SUNDAY ONLY organization. Why do Stay-At-Home moms feel like they don’t achieve much? Because the Relief Society may not be functioning properly in fulfilling […]
I hope everyone had the chance to hear the General Young Women’s Meeting. Even though we may be Relief Society age, it’s still important to be involved and aware of the Young Women and the things they are going through, and struggling with. By going on to www.lds.org you can see the video presentation of […]
Springtime is around the corner. That means it’s time to have a friendly reminder on What Not To Wear. I would urge all Relief Societies to invite the Young Women to attend a Sunday lesson on the subject of Modesty. Because this is an age-old problem, all women, young and old, can contribute and benefit […]
I just get a kick out of some of these articles in the Woman’s Exponent. These women writers (Emmeline B. Wells, primarily) had a sense of humor, a sense of honor, a sense of duty, a sense of spirituality. I just want to tap into it all. After deciphering the language barrier, it’s really good […]
Here’s another interesting article from the Women’s Exponent. Things really haven’t changed at all over the years. GIRLS, KEEP GOOD COMPANY Girls, make it a point of your everyday life to choose your companions. It matters not how poor and uneducated you may be, if you will, you may always be choice of your associates. […]
This photo shows the Retrenchment Dress required by each young woman to wear. The dress was designed by Brigham Young and worn by his daughters. They didn’t like it much, but what could they do? If you can track down a copy of the video, “Pioneers in Petticoats”, you’ll be able to see the Retrenchment […]
