To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
President Nelson has asked us to re-energize Relief Society by understanding our purpose. We have a destiny, sisters, and he is calling on us to position ourselves, so we can become a vital part in preparing the world to receive its king, even Jesus Christ. Feeling a Part of Relief Society If you don’t feel […]
When I first set out to discover Relief Society, nothing was online. I remember the first time I walked into the Church History Library (which, at that time, was in the corner of the main floor of the Church Office Building), I didn’t know what I was going to find. I didn’t know what to […]
This is Part 3, where Leah Widtsoe concludes her article on the powerful destiny of our Relief Society. Click to read Part 1 and Part 2. There are two great truths with vast implications that all should understand: 1) all great causes have small beginnings; 2) a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. […]
This is Part 2 of Our Powerful Destiny from a Voice from 1946. You can find Part 1 here. This post continues with an article written by Leah Widtsoe, for The Relief Society Magazine, back in 1946. When I read it, I was amazed how she nailed so many things. She writes frankly, and her […]

This is an old post I found that I thought I would update and re-present. In my eyes, Julie B. Beck was a great RS President who taught us how to love Relief Society and recognize our worth as women and daughters of God. This month’s visiting teaching message is our choice from all of […]

Did you hear Women’s Conference last night? We were given strong and loving council to fulfill our innate abilities, as women, to do the work of the Lord and build the kingdom of God. How grateful I am for prophets and leaders who guide us, remind us, and call us to repentance, so that […]
