To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
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 […]
Happy Easter, everyone!! As usual, the Easter Bunny is an alternate figure the world places at the forefront of our holiday celebrating, but how perfect to be able to discuss the Atonement and Resurrection as we celebrate probably the most glorious and special holidays honored in the year. The Pinnacle of the Plan Our […]
For me, all of the talks, during this Saturday Morning session of General Conference, April 1972, seemed to fall under a simple message: Commence, Catch Hold, Cling, and Continue. These keywords are found in Lehi’s Vision as a guide for how we should journey on the strait and narrow path. We can’t just simply walk […]
Excommunication is devastating, but it’s the only way that offers hope that few members truly understand. The purpose of excommunication is to stop us from further sinning, so we can wake up and have yet another chance before we will face our judge.

Former Relief Society General President, Julie B. Beck, spoke at the 2016 Church History Symposium about the Daughters in My Kingdom book. She confirmed, “The Lord’s hand was in the making of this book. From the very beginning, the Spirit directed the work of bringing at the forefront the need to understand the history of […]
You may be familiar with the missionary story of Elizabeth McCune. You can read about it here. Shortly after, sister missionaries began to be considered in the mission field starting officially with Jenny Brimhall and Inez Knight. Matthew McBride shared his thoughts on sisters in the mission field. There weren’t many of course. In the […]
There was an interesting discussion, at the Church History Symposium, about women and the priesthood. It is well known that in the beginnings of the Restored Church, women used the priesthood to bless one another, wash and anoint one another, and use gifts of the Spirit freely. The records prove that this was common […]
I was invited to come and listen to presenters speaking at the 2016 Church History Symposium, going on today and tomorrow. This year, the focus is on Mormon women. Eight years ago I first realized that I knew next to nothing about Mormon women, and certainly nothing about the organization of which I belonged; the […]
