To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I felt President Uchtdorf’s talk on “You are my hands” was geared directly toward the Relief Society. If we neglect, or are too busy, to act upon the two great commandments, “we are missing the point.” As sisters in the Relief Society, we cannot afford to miss the point. He spotlighted many examples of Jesus […]
I am inviting Relief Society Presidents to take on the following challenge. I just want to see if it would work. Is anyone game? If you are…you just need a two-month block of time to see it through. Please get back to me with your results. Please read through the following talks from Julie B. […]
Continuing my report on Nauvoo, I just wanted to share with you some of the wonderful Spirit that was there. Everything that our Church sponsors in the city of Nauvoo is free. This includes all of the buildings that are there to visit, as well as the nightly productions. And those productions are definitely the […]
We just returned from Nauvoo. It was our first time there, and it was wonderful. I offer my impressions to those who have never been, and an invitation to others who would like to share their thoughts as well. As we approached from the South, we could see the temple on its hill and it […]
I’ve collected these quotes from, and about, Emma. There was so much to learn and love about her. Safe in Quincy, Illinois, Emma wrote of her ordeal to Joseph who was still confined in the Liberty Jail: “Was it not for … the direct interposition of divine mercy, I am very sure I never […]
How much can one heart take? These words from a beautiful song called Emma, written by Jason Deere, and sung by Katherine Nelson (who played Emma in the Joseph and Emma movies), has caused me to ponder: How would my heart respond? Emma Hale was born on July 10, 1804, in Harmony, Pennsylvania. One […]
The doctrine of the priesthood is the key to working effectively in the Church. What is the doctrine of the priesthood? Let’s look at D&C 121:45. This section of the Doctrine and Covenants was received by the Prophet Joseph Smith near the end of a four-month stay in the horrible Liberty Jail. He was told […]
Our prophet is a storyteller. Don’t we just love his stories? Surprisingly, this past conference, in the address he gave in the Priesthood Session, he didn’t have a whole lot of stories to share. Instead, he gave us a long list of things we should be doing in order to prepare for the blessings of […]
Back in the old days, Family Home Evenings were meant to create a special time for families to have a set time to be together to train in the gospel. Things haven’t changed over the years; in fact, FHE is needed more than ever. There are two reasons to keep holding Family Home Evening: 1) […]
When did the interest of genealogy begin? There were family organizations in the 1700s, and the American Antiquarian Society was founded in 1812. By 1845, eleven states already had historical societies. And of course, prominent American families were interested in their attachment to European Royalty and had records to prove it. But, did you know that […]
