To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
General Conference is always highly anticipated at our house. There is always speculation to guess what some of the main themes will be. Will there be any new announcements, releasings, or sustainings? There is always something to look forward to when we listen for the most recent guidance, prophecy, and testimony of our prophet and […]
Don’t ever underestimate your work as a Visiting Teacher, or in this case a Relief Society Magazine representative. Before 1970, The Relief Society Magazine, when purchased for $1 per year, gave you membership into the Relief Society. Sisters were called to be representatives, and asked to get everyone to subscribe to the magazine. There was […]
If you went to the Conference Center for the Women’s Meeting, you probably received some nicely bow-tied tissues. It was so thoughtful for someone to go to all that work for the sisters gathering for their meeting, wasn’t it? I even asked who had gone to all the trouble and the answer was, “a Texas […]
This Saturday I hope all Relief Society women are planning on tuning in to the General Women’s Meeting. It’s been 170 years since Joseph Smith called the sisters together. This will be the first time we hear from our new Relief Society General Presidency. We hope to catch their vision and be reenergized to do […]
I’ve been invited to write for a new online forum called Real Intent, where LDS writers share a journey of discovery through the experimentation of faith. While I’m still mostly interested in Relief Society, my work will occasionally appear on this larger platform as well. Please come and see what we’re doing. We are creating a place of […]
Belle Spafford was president of the Relief Society for twenty years. The Church went through much growth and change during her presidency. It’s too bad most of the sisters in our Relief Society don’t know this vibrant, loveable, and intelligent woman. Read her bio here for a little background on her. Here are a […]
Our guest post comes from Joyce Barrett Stephenson. When I was fifteen I was inspired to write a letter to myself at age twenty-five. I read this idea in a book, and thought it was a good one. So, on July 16, 1939, I wrote my letter and sealed it up. Managing to take this […]
When we travel, chances are very high that there is a temple nearby. My husband and I always like to make time to attend a temple session, wherever we go. It used to be an accomplishment to be able to say, “I’ve been to all of the temples.” Now that is next to impossible, but […]
Our world is becoming grey, full of mists and clouds, and everyone is being encouraged to follow their own path. Lehi’s dream is the perfect visual for us to see what the world offers, verses what the Lord promises. I choose the Lord. “There is safety for us only on the Lord’s side of the […]
“Ugh! You’re so stupid!” No, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to myself. Actually, I used to talk to myself this way. All the time. Recently I was awakened to the fact that almost constantly, at least any time I forgot something, dropped something, made a mistake or said something stupid (as I said, […]
