To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
May I just start by saying that this is a great lesson! As I read it, my spirit soared. I was filled with a humble power that I am capable, I am hopeful, and I am blessed. There are women, in the Church, who seek power by demanding what the Lord will not give them. […]
This guest post was written by Loraine T. Pace, who has been involved in politics for many years: There are things we know as LDS women that most Americans don’t know: 1. We understand this country’s origins. This country was foreordained – 1 Ne 13:12 This country is the land of promise – 1 Ne […]
This month’s message is on how we must bleed service to one another. It has to be part of our nature, our very DNA. As Pres.

Don’t Stop Now!–Suggestions For More Writing Go Back to Lesson 11. This is the last challenge for this course. I would love to hear about Relief Societies following this workshop, and hear some of the beautiful writings they’ve created.

I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about its history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store? When the gospel was […]
Testimony–A Record for your Posterity Go Back to Lesson 9. Writing down your testimony can be the most important record you leave for your children.

The more I understand about the covenant I make over and over again, when I partake of the Sacrament, the more I feel grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, His atoning sacrifice, and my commitment to Him and the will of my Heavenly Father. We’ve all had multiple lessons on keeping the Sabbath Day […]
In the past, if there was a family having difficulty, the Bishop would find out about it, tell the Relief Society President, who went to the Compassionate Service Leader, who then went to the Visiting Teachers to check up on, and assist.
