To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
So, why do so many sisters feel a disconnect from one another in their wards? What is the secret that makes sisters feel so close to one another? I don’t know all of the answers. I do know that I have that disconnect feeling. I haven’t been visit taught on any kind of regular basis […]
The Book of Mormon is full of examples of faithful women, who stood strong in spite of opposing voices around them. Can you imagine Sariah’s fear when men sought her husband’s life? And how he told her that they needed to leave all of their luxuries behind and travel to the sea, cross the sea […]
