| Relief Society

I’ve heard many people express a positive excitement for the new Come Follow Me Sunday schedule, but I have also heard great concern about how it’s to be conducted and administered. As I have spent years studying the purpose and destiny of our Relief Society, I can testify this new program aligns well with what […]

Hinckley: Chapter 23: Holy Temples

| Teaching

We live in a day when there are more temples on the earth than any other time. What is the significance of this? The answer is in many of our Patriarchal blessings. Most Latter-day Saints come from the tribe of Joseph, first by way of Ephraim, who received the birthright, then Manasseh. It is specifically […]

Lesson 19: Priesthood Leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ It’s important that we understand that priesthood leadership is how Jesus Christ organizes His Church on the earth. There are some basic doctrines that build upon one another in order for us to see the order of God. We believe that Jesus Christ is the […]

This is an old post I found that I thought I would update and re-present. In my eyes, Julie B. Beck was a great RS President who taught us how to love Relief Society and recognize our worth as women and daughters of God. This month’s visiting teaching message is our choice from all of […]

| General Conference Odyssey

I thought this most recent (Oct 2017) General Conference was particularly wonderful. I felt the power of the words spoken, that indeed, the Lord is directing His church and I received personal answers, showing ways I can improve. Conference is meant to do just that: To be messages from God through His ordained leaders and […]

October Visiting Teaching: Loving Those Who Stray

September 29, 2017

| Ministering

The lesson this month is about charity; loving those who stray and never giving up on them. This is the very definition of visiting teaching. Sometimes, I’m not sure how to go about sharing a visiting teaching message. For example, this month. Are we expected to talk about loving those who stray, or actually loving […]

| Conference Talks

I hope you were filled, like I was, after hearing the Women’s Conference last night.   Sis. Eubank brought up, again, that quote from Pres. Kimball telling us of the influence we, as the Relief Society sisters, can have on the world. The fact that this prophecy is being referred to so many times tells […]

Hinckley: Chapter 18–Virtue

| Teaching

Much like “Integrity,” “Virtue” is a word that is better shown than talked about.   VIRTUE–THE WORLD’S DEFINITION   The dictionary states the definition of virtue as “behavior showing high moral standards.” Merriam-Webster, however, found recent evidence of how the word “virtue” is being used in our vocabulary today:   By virtue of their 7 […]

Hinckley: Chapter 17-Continue Learning

September 7, 2017

| Teaching

We’ve all seen the recent push, by our church, for more education, especially with the new BYU-I Pathway program. I actually have a lot of thoughts about this topic that I think I’ll just list below. Warning: They are random, but possibly thought-provoking.   Thirty or so years ago, our prophets urged women to stay […]

September Visiting Teaching: Of One Heart

By Jan Tolman

August 30, 2017
| 2 Comments
| Ministering

Visiting Teaching Message The world would say they are fighting for this very idea–to be of one heart, but somehow they think they can achieve it without Jesus Christ, and that would be impossible. Along with this idea, everyone demands that race, gender, and ideology be fairly treated, even specially treated to the point that everyone […]
