To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
As we’ve been reading about the Second Coming in our Sunday School lessons, and hearing about things in the news, I’ve been thinking about what it is we should all be doing to prepare for the Lord’s second coming. I have come to my own conclusion. There may be more to it, but this is […]
Most of us forget that, back in Old Testament times, if caught defiling the Sabbath Day, you were put to death. Clearly, they didn’t play around back then (pun intended). In February of 1847, the Prophet Joseph Smith appeared to Brigham Young in a dream. The message given was, “Tell the people to be humble […]
From the Salt Lake Mission Home: “It was with new enthusiasm, being called into missionary work, that I set out to be open to missionary and service opportunities. With my missionary badge firmly in place, I was determined to accept a challenge from Elder Evans, of talking to everyone and asking for referrals. My first […]
I just returned from picking up my son from his mission, in Peru. What an experience! I made some wonderful new friends as we went around visiting many of the families my son taught and baptized. These people are warm, loving, accepting, and have committed themselves to the gospel. They struggle with hardships, poverty, and […]
It’s funny, when a woman tells other women to stay home and raise children, she gets blasted for it, like Sis. Beck did. When the Brethren say anything like that, they are pretty much ignored. Either way, nowadays, this is still a hot topic that gets women upset. Eliza R. Snow said, “We want to […]

I feel compelled to speak out to the Ordain Women group who are in the news. This is a time for Relief Society sisters to stand for something and unite our belief, faith, and witness. Many sisters have come up to me and argued that we should all be Mormon Feminists. And I have continued to attempt to […]
When men were called on their missions, many of them were married. We have heard of these men leaving their wives behind (with a household of children and a working farm) to serve these missions. But there were some men who took their wives with them. Many women served in the Hawaiian Islands. When men […]
“At my school in Boston there were about 8 active members of the church who I usually just saw at church activities. I was surrounded by people who didn’t believe what I believed and it hit me hard that I wasn’t like most people in this new place. Modesty never seemed different until I was […]
Spiritual Preparedness is a message the leaders of our church have been teaching us for a very long time; and that would include Bible and Book of Mormon leaders. We listen well enough, but sometimes that’s as far as it goes. We don’t internalize the gospel until it means something to us. While preparing a […]
