To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
When the Female Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers; by the following March there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their meeting room and would meet in The Grove, where the spillage of sisters could still be included. The Society became so popular that even unseemly women wanted to join. […]
The war chapters, in Alma, are probably my favorite in all of scripture. I have written in at the top of these chapters, FOR THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH, because I feel this is where we get the best information on how to fight the adversary and save our children. Follow along in your own scriptures […]

I collected information about these two men from the Internet and we took turns reading about them. I was intrigued by the fact that Heber and his wives and children were […]
