To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
If you had the opportunity to listen to the General Relief Society meeting, you were lucky to hear the words and direction of Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf. His message to us deserves to be noted and analyzed. I found it full of promising challenges. His first statement recalls our purpose and goal in life, “the […]
While reading Women’s Voices, by Kenneth and Audrey Godfrey and Jill Derr, I enjoyed reading the diaries of these great women. In particular, Ruth May Fox’s journal was especially noteworthy. Ruth May was born in England, in 1853. Already members of the Mormon Church, her mother died when Ruth was a toddler and she was […]

Elder Robert D. Hales and Sis. Elaine S. Dalton, mentioned the story of Lehonti, during our recent General Conference (Oct. 2008). Poor Lehonti.
