To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Now that Ordain Women is no longer the “hot topic” it was, what is left? What questions remain unanswered? Where are women looking for answers? Who has the right answers? What next? For me, the answers will always come from the servants of Heavenly Father, be it ancient or modern-day scripture. So many of us […]
Pioneers are an important part of American History, but we forget that these brave and forgiving pioneers were rescued twice. Here is the story of the Second Rescue.

Back in the old days there used to be training for new Visiting Teachers. Every month there was a Visiting Teaching meeting.
