To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Sister Beck once described Visiting Teaching as an extension of the Lord’s hands to help lift, serve, and love one another. Hearing that description helped broaden my own understanding for this program and encouraged me (without the guilt) to reach out to the sisters whom I’ve been called to lift, serve and most importantly, love.

When we are given the responsibility of instrumentation (interpret this as being instruments in the hands of God), through a calling, opportunity, or inspiration other people are relying on us to succeed. If we really understood this, I am positive we would act differently. Let’s take our Callings: Most of us have Callings. Our Callings […]
There is so much power in the knowledge we have of our divine origin, and of who we truly were before we came to this earth. The scriptures teach us that we were “noble and great”, that we were the “faithful daughters” of Mother Eve, and that we took an active role in the councils […]
We know King Benjamin was a righteous and effective leader of the Nephite people. In my study of the early chapters of Mosiah, I found King Benjamin’s example of leadership can be translated into helpful patterns for parenting. If you missed King Benjamin Teaches Parenting 201 click here. In the first chapter of Mosiah we get […]
This month’s visiting teaching message is our choice from all of the General Conference addresses. With Sister Beck’s release, I decided to look up all of her talks over the past five years, read them, and figure out what her legacy is. It wasn’t hard to figure out, because she came out of the shoot […]
Back in 1942, the Relief Society set out to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of this great organization. For months the sisters held bazaars, promoted the Relief Society Magazine, talked about it’s history, started more projects, and organized huge celebrations. They organized a magnificent program that would be held in the Tabernacle, in Salt Lake City, […]
As a young mother I was told that the only parenting manual I needed was the Book of Mormon. I think I was in the middle of potty training at the time and I remember thinking…Really? The Book of Mormon is going to help me with this? The council, however, has stayed with me, and […]
On Tuesday, April 17, at 10-10:30am an Earthquake hit the Salt Lake Valley! At least, that is what the Emergency Broadcast System, schools in the valley, and Emergency Response people will all be saying. A valley-wide drill was held in the hopes of preparing our cities for the “big one”, a large earthquake that may […]
Lessons about the scriptures are difficult lessons to teach. Typically teaching ABOUT something is less effective than actually SHOWING or even DOING it. So, I hope this post will inspire you to discover something new that will make you want to read the scriptures for yourself, to discover the wonderful treasure that the word of […]
I have been fascinated with RS Pres. Amy Brown Lyman’s journey in organizing the Relief Society’s work in Social Work. It’s an amazing story and shows what our Relief Society is capable of doing when leaders go the extra mile by focusing on saving souls. Relief Society has been in the humanitarian business for 170 […]
