To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The other night my wife received a phone call from a sister from the ward who was asking if I was available to give her friend a priesthood blessing. I was available and quickly called another brother in our ward to assist. If I have time, I try to change my clothes into my Sunday […]
(From October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference.) I have always felt a little jealous of the talks the men receive during the Priesthood session of conference. Their talks always seem to be more specific, more demanding, and more “important” somehow. I now have a different view that I will share with you. First of […]
Sometimes, I wonder if we are building as much character in our Young Women as we used to. 1916 BEEHIVE REQUIREMENTS In 1916, every female over fourteen was a Beehive girl until she entered Relief Society; there were no Mia Maids, Gleaners, or Laurels.

Ephesians has always been my favorite book in the New Testament. It must be the armor thing. That was always a great lesson in Seminary, FHE, Primary, even Gospel Doctrine.

Countless prophecies have told us that in the last days we will have to choose whose […]
I had the most wonderful experience learning about The Rift, a piece of history of which I was not aware. I attended the Sons of the Utah Pioneer Convention (2011) and met with some great Mormon heritage: Gracia N. Jones, and Michael and Darcy Kennedy (from the Smith family), and Mary Ellen Elggren (from the […]
Ellis Reynolds was born on January 20, 1847, in Davis Co., Iowa. Her parents were baptized when she was a child, emigrated west, and settled in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Her mother died when Ellis was young. At the age of twelve, Ellis, while visiting a friend, saw a picture of a young gentleman. Jokingly, she […]
We have been taught so many things over the years. Because of modern technology we are able to actually dig up old talks and relearn what was once learned. I love the fact that we have access to all of the conference addresses EVER given and can glean such great words as this. The following […]
I hope most of you are familiar with the Relief Society’s work in gathering wheat; and how it was a huge contributing factor to the Welfare Department. This is the story: Sister Emmeline B. Wells became associate editor of the Woman’s Exponent in 1875 and editor in 1876. “Aunt Em”, as she was affectionately called, is […]
