To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I went to an Alex Boye concert the other night and really enjoyed myself. His way of Africanizing a song is moving and great fun to listen to. He also has a way of teaching the importance of touching lives, which he always sets out to do with his singing. Strange, but true, I relate […]
General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of April 1982. A few weeks ago, I discovered a book called, Salvation Universal, written by Joseph Fielding Smith. In it, I read a phrase that has stuck with me ever since. President Smith said, “The fact is, the whole plan of redemption is based on […]
General Conference Odyssey post for Sunday Morning session of April 1982. People are either very excited or dreading the new church schedule, curriculum, and expectations our church has for its members. I’ve said this many times already and I’ll keep saying it: There is nothing new that our church leaders are telling us that they […]
“In these latter days, God has restored the priesthood and organized priesthood quorums and the Relief Society to help accomplish His work of salvation. Because of this, each Sunday when we gather in Elders Quorum and Relief Society meetings, we discuss and plan what we will do to help accomplish God’s work. To be effective, […]
The early sisters in the Salt Lake Valley had little to work on when they first arrived. But organizing themselves, they got to work setting their world afire. In our day, we cannot even hope to accomplish anything in two hours a month. We must be like those sisters who loved and lived the gospel of […]

There are people, specifically women, who don’t realize that their faith in Jesus Christ is […]
With home-centered learning, we can raise the youth battalion to wield swords of the spirit of truth. And how do we do this? By knowing and understanding the very depths of the Book of Mormon. In four places of the Doctrine and Covenants, it repeats the power of the Book of Mormon in these words: […]
How can I belong to Relief Society now that it’s only two hours a month? That is a good question. Here are some ideas to think about. First of all, every ward is unique, and it will be up to bishops and RS presidents to decide what is needed in their ward. But we are […]
We know the Lord is coming soon and the prophet has asked us to help Him gather Israel like never before. We are all called to the work of hastening the gathering. Joseph Smith learned early on that he was to lead the final dispensation. There must have been a lot of pressure on his […]
Christmas is upon us, once again. We live in a world of contrast: great abundance and destitution. May we treat Christmas with the spiritualness it deserves, making someone else’s holiday special as we reach out and serve. We were challenged, by Pres. Nelson, to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. It […]
