To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
When people ask you how you’re doing and what you’ve been doing lately, what is your pat answer? Let me know if this sounds familiar: “Oh, I’ve been busy doing stuff; I’m involved in this, and this, and this, and this, and I just never have any time anymore!” We are a busy bunch of […]
Do you remember how big an issue The Equal Rights Amendment was back in the 70’s? I remember how BYU campus was empty of students as everyone was glued to a TV set to watch the Donahue Show where Sister Barbara Smith appeared with Sonia Johnson. Sis. Smith was the President of the Relief Society […]
“You were entrusted to come to the earth in these last days to do again what you did before.” This bold statement comes from Elder James J. Hamula’s Conference talk, Winning the War against Evil. This was a talk geared for the young men, but I feel it is worthwhile for mothers to hear it. […]
I’m still reading through my conference talks. My favorites list keeps growing, and I just have to express some of my thoughts, so here’s my take on You Know Enough, by Elder Neil L. Andersen.

Relief Society has been going on for 150+ years, and it (we) have accomplished great things. We have always had great women among us. Okay, let’s clarify that, all of us have value and the capability to do great things. I do believe some of us need more help than others to draw that realization […]
We are a temple going people. With so many temples being made available to us, we, as sisters, can carry on a great work, the work of salvation. Aren’t we continually surprised to know there is a temple in a certain location? It’s hard to keep up with all of them (128+). And in case […]
How many of you were able to see, listen, or read the talks given at the General Relief Society Meeting, this past weekend? Go to lds.org and print out their talks and read them slowly, underlining where necessary, and let your mind wander as you catch the vision of which they speak. Sis. Beck’s talk […]
