This is Part 3, where Leah Widtsoe concludes her article on the powerful destiny of our Relief Society. Click to read Part 1 and Part 2. There are two great truths with vast implications that all should understand: 1) all great causes have small beginnings; 2) a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. […]
This is Part 2 of Our Powerful Destiny from a Voice from 1946. You can find Part 1 here. This post continues with an article written by Leah Widtsoe, for The Relief Society Magazine, back in 1946. When I read it, I was amazed how she nailed so many things. She writes frankly, and her […]
Leah D. Widtsoe was the wife of John A. Widtsoe, an apostle and well-known scriptorian. It may be of interest to you to know that Leah was, in her day, a housewife-turned-scriptorian.

I wrote about these talks in three different posts quite a while ago: “Boyd K. Packer’s Take on the Relief Society” “More From President Packer” “Again–President […]
Another great conference address; this one about life, and living, with simple purpose. A few years ago, my husband and I served together in a small branch at a care center. Mostly, there were elderly women who had lost husbands, and even children. They weren’t terribly happy to still be among the living, in fact, […]
I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about it’s history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store, as we become participators […]
