To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This year, there are three things I hope to focus on as I study each of the lessons based on President Ezra Taft Benson’s talks: What is the doctrine being taught? What does the prophet mean for us to obey? How do we live these teachings as women, wives, and mothers in the gospel? […]
Many years ago, our young family took a vacation to Disneyland in the fall. The weather was perfect, if not a little warm, and we basked in the golden sunset. But once the sun went down …. Wow! Did it get cold as we stayed to watch the big fireworks show. We were caught unprepared! I […]
It was another rousing and successful General Conference. My cup was filled and I was re-fortified to continue working toward salvation with the ever-loving aid of my Savior Jesus Christ. Question: Did anyone hear anything that may have alluded to “Preparedness” during this conference? Answer: I did. What is preparedness, but preparing us for […]
Sister Linda K. Burton spoke, at the General Women’s Meeting, on being spiritually prepared to receive temple blessings.

A tired “fine” may escape her lips, but since the question is meant as a quick greeting, you don’t necessarily delve in to discover problems or […]

I would like to share my story here, while encouraging you to share your story as well. Be sure to go and submit your story within the […]
