To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
A General Conference Odyssey post on the Saturday morning session of April 1981. The Brethren are conducting “Special Stake Conferences,” where our leaders can cover better the 3500+ stakes in the church. Ours was this weekend and we were given some pretty direct council that correlates well with this week’s General Conference Odyssey report. First […]
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.

WRITING YOUR HISTORY YOUR WAY I’ve read through several personal histories and all of them have been different; as different as the individuals who lived them. When writing a personal history it becomes your personalized record of you; yourself, your life’s experiences, your feelings, even your innermost thoughts. Everyone’s life should have a […]
Don’t Stop Now!–Suggestions For More Writing Go Back to Lesson 11 This is the last challenge for this course.
