To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The young women have been focusing on the principle of virtue these past few years. We, as their mothers, should be the best example for them to truly understand what virtue means. How we conduct ourselves in all situations is better than any words we may offer them. Years ago, I made a mistake in […]
The October Ensign is a special issue emphasizing the Book of Mormon. Once again, it appears our leaders are trying to get us to think how best to rescue our families and loved ones in these very trying times. So many answers lie within the pages of this marvelous work and wonder. If we aren’t […]
I had the most wonderful experience learning about The Rift, a piece of history of which I was not aware. I attended the Sons of the Utah Pioneer Convention (2011) and met with some great Mormon heritage: Gracia N. Jones, and Michael and Darcy Kennedy (from the Smith family), and Mary Ellen Elggren (from the […]
This is a comment I received that offers some interesting food to digest. What do you think? “From Sis. Beck’s “Mothers Who Know” 2007 talk: “Mothers who know do less.

This is such a great idea. Thanks for sending this in!! “A few weeks ago my third daughter turned 10, and I began preparing for our Mother/Daughter Birthday Date, which has become a “Coming of Age” tradition in our home.

Her father was disowned by his family when he joined the Church. Minerva was raised in a religious family, and an artistic home. Since age four, she thought of […]
My wife and I just recently dropped off our last child of six children, a son, to the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC). This is our fifth child (four sons and a daughter) to serve a full-time mission. Our oldest daughter didn’t serve a mission, but found her eternal companion at BYU and married […]
We took an interesting trip during a recent Relief Society lesson. A member of the presidency was teaching about how to make our homes like the temple. The very first aspect introduced was cleanliness. It went around the room for a while that it was SOOOO important to have a clean house. It was stated […]
The Relief Society Magazine used to have a feature entitled, “Unusual Mothers”. It would spotlight women who had given birth to a large number of children.
