To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I am a big believer in writing personal histories based on stories and experiences. Many lessons and testimonies have been born through a simple story.

Which one of us has had a stone lobbed at us, for no apparent good reason, and our feathers became ruffled? Or perhaps we have spoken out of turn only to regret it minutes later? How many “if only” moments have we experienced because we forgot to listen to the calming voice of the Holy […]

I enjoyed looking over the lesson, arranging my own thoughts, feeling the Spirit witness to me, and being prepared each Sunday lesson. But, I noticed every Saturday night I would get a huge number of visits to that particular lesson as […]
