To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the April 2008 General Conference. There are several good talks in this session, but the one that affected me the most this week was Elder W. Craig Zwick’s talk, “We Will Not Yield, We Cannot Yield.” When I was a young girl […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 2006, Saturday Afternoon session of conference. A while ago, I read an article by Elder David A. Bednar on how to study and teach conference talks. As usual, I thought his words were gold. So, I’m going to incorporate them in this (and maybe […]
I created this website 12 years ago. Wow! That’s a long time. Frankly, I’m kind of tired of writing and I often think of quitting. But something always happens causing me to rethink and keep writing. This time, it was Elder Maxwell’s talk. From the beginning, my objective was to write about the history of […]
This world is in a tragic state of suffering. Sin has wreaked havoc with the lives of every soul on this earth and we must deal with the anguish and the sorrow. But there is only one who truly can take our sorrow away. In fact, He promises that even while in the midst of […]
When I heard Sister Becky Craven’s talk, “Careful versus Casual,” at conference, I immediately thought of the Stripling Warriors from the Book of Mormon and Pres. Nelson’s Youth Battalion of today. Do we remember that the Sons of Helaman “Obey[ed] and observ[ed] to perform every word of command with exactness” (Alma 57:21)? That doesn’t happen […]
Because there is a war going on between good and evil, sometimes I wonder what Relief Society is doing about it. Is it okay to talk about issues that are controversial during class or activities? Not to be controversial, but to become aware of the evil around us and know how to stand for truth. […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is on the Saturday morning session of October 1982. After reading this week’s session of talks I went to Sacrament meeting and listened to the speaker quote from this very talk. Of all things!! The talk I’d like to focus on today is David B. Haight’s talk, “Love All.” We hear […]
You know, I have to admit, I don’t understand people that say gospel-based activities are boring. Gospel-based would be discussions about the scriptures, the church, Jesus Christ, etc. Basically, anything that strengthens our personal testimonies. All the Relief Societies I’ve ever been in feel like they have to entertain the sisters rather than feed them […]
I thought I would share my Sacrament meeting talk on Personal Revelation. During this past year, I have felt an urgency to strengthen my personal relationship with my Savior. The best way to know Him is to obey Him by demonstrating our faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, kindness, charity, diligence, and humility. (This is according to […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the April 1981 Sunday afternoon session. With General Conference coming, we might reflect, once again, upon how we will react to the work we have all been called to do and will be reminded of. What is our errand in the work of the Lord? Back in […]
