To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This beautiful tribute may help us as we reflect on those lives who were lost on September 11, 2001. We will never forget. My husband called me to tell me to turn the TV on. I watched as the second tower fell hardly believing my eyes. Later, as the news started speculating about Flight […]
Do we believe the witnesses of the Book of Mormon? Do we believe what they say they saw? Do we realize that both men and women stand as those witnesses? Are we prepared to set our pride aside and stay true to the faith no matter what? David Whitmer was interviewed by Orson Pratt and […]
So many women are doing good things today. We should all keep our eyes and ears open to extend ourselves and share our unity in faith. Some bright young women, at Brigham Young University, have developed a film about strong Mormon women. You may be interested in watching this 30 minute video at their website […]
This Saturday I hope all Relief Society women are planning on tuning in to the General Women’s Meeting. It’s been 170 years since Joseph Smith called the sisters together. This will be the first time we hear from our new Relief Society General Presidency. We hope to catch their vision and be reenergized to do […]

Relief Society has been in the humanitarian business for 170 […]
This was a letter from the First Presidency, to every member of the Relief Society, back in September 1942. It was given in recognition of a new book, A Centenary of Relief Society, which was published by the General Board in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of that organization. It was also to be read […]
As you read through our Visiting Teaching message this month, I hope Eliza R. Snow’s quote strikes a chord in every one of us, as sisters in the kingdom: “If any of the daughters and mothers in Israel are feeling in the least circumscribed [limited] in their present spheres, they will now find ample scope […]
We have been taught so many things over the years. Because of modern technology we are able to actually dig up old talks and relearn what was once learned. I love the fact that we have access to all of the conference addresses EVER given and can glean such great words as this. The following […]
I hope most of you are familiar with the Relief Society’s work in gathering wheat; and how it was a huge contributing factor to the Welfare Department. This is the story: Sister Emmeline B. Wells became associate editor of the Woman’s Exponent in 1875 and editor in 1876. “Aunt Em”, as she was affectionately called, is […]
