To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Recently, we traveled to Great Britain and enjoyed some pretty amazing sights. One thing I wanted to be sure to see was Preston, England. Neither my husband nor I have ancestors who come from this area, but this is an important part of Church History and something I always wanted to see for myself. In […]
Once again, the Lord calls well-trained women who have served Him faithfully. Jean Barrus Bingham was serving in the Primary General Presidency before being called as the 17th president of the General Relief Society. Even before that, she served as a temple worker in the Chicago, Illinois Temple and a Seminary teacher. Born in Provo, […]
Linda Kjar Burton was born and raised in the church. When she was a teenager, her parents were called to serve as Mission President in New Zealand. In college, she studied Elementary Education and married her husband in the Salt Lake Temple on August 7, 1973. She stayed at home, raising their six children over […]
I do love stories about courageous women! Here are two, so this post is sort of long, but so worth your time. This story starts off with Elsie Nielson who traveled with the Willie company, through the blizzards, then later traveled south to Bluff, Utah with the Hole-in-the-Rock expedition.

A few years ago, our son came to us explaining a girl in his ward was asking about his thoughts on the idea that women should be given the priesthood too. This particular son has always had an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I have all confidence his answer was clear, concise, […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the priesthood session of October 1981. At this conference, Elder L. Tom Perry speaks about trusting the Lord. So, how do we put our trust in Him? The answer is to put into action the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have all the necessary answers and we […]
I hope you’re all watching for the general release of SAINTS this week. The first part of the series is called The Standard of Truth and begins with Joseph Smith’s experience of seeing Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in the Sacred Grove and ends with the Saints receiving their endowments in the Nauvoo Temple before […]
I was just reading through Sharon Eubank’s conference address, “Turn On Your Light,” and the message I got from her, loud and clear, was that we have been called on a mission. Are we righteous enough to accept the call? Are we articulate enough in our faith, knowledge, and ability to share? Will our light […]
