To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
March is the birthday month of our organization. I hope everyone is considering reviewing a part of our Relief Society history as your celebration. Mormon Times is publishing an article, written by me, each week of this month (March 2011), commemorating the Relief Society. I hope you’ll take a look. Starting last week, the articles […]
