To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
For years I have sat in Relief Society classes where unknowing sisters would use all class time figuring out who held keys of the priesthood. How I wish they had known about this talk to truly understand and explain the blessings of having the keys of the priesthood. Elder McConkie, in a very simple and […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1982. The other day, my husband and I were doing sealings when the sealer asked us what “rites” are. Ever since I’ve been thinking about what our “rites” and “privileges” are in this church. And I feel like the talks in […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post of the Welfare session of April 1982. Back in 1982, welfare concerns were employment, economy and maintaining your property.

What does your Relief Society do to protect families? And do you think it should? When my kids were in school, I would get a slip of paper sent home informing me that the class would be discussing “sex education.” This note let me know what was going on and gave me the choice whether I […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is on the Saturday morning session of October 1981. Last week, we heard some drastic changes to our Sunday schedule. Now, everyone is trying to figure out how to work that into a ward situation. All lessons in Priesthood/Relief Society will now be taught from General Conference addresses. And if […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post on the most recent General Conference gathering: October 2018. The whole church is abuzz over the big change to two hours of church. Who doesn’t like the idea of less church, less lesson preparation, and less stress in our callings? But what does this really mean for members of […]
