To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Visiting Teaching has an interesting history. Sisters began visiting one another, on assignment, by 1843. You’ll be surprised to learn that it has gone through some substantial changes over the years. And, dare I say, maybe we’ve lost some important aspects of it. As sisters flocked to join the Female Relief Society in Nauvoo, it […]
From the Salt Lake Mission Home: “It was with new enthusiasm, being called into missionary work, that I set out to be open to missionary and service opportunities. With my missionary badge firmly in place, I was determined to accept a challenge from Elder Evans, of talking to everyone and asking for referrals. My first […]
From Bountiful: “For several years I have been doing what I call Scripture Journaling. Following is an example of how I teach this to others. Follow this outline: Prayer, scripture study, journaling, prayer 2. Don’t be afraid to use variety in your scripture study. Here are several ideas you can incorporate in your study. You may […]

Out there the ward IS everyone’s family and they truly take […]
From Arkansas: “The biggest thing our Stake RS does is the RS Broadcast. The RS Presidency usually has a chairman in charge of a dinner for all the sisters in the stake. This time, about 14 men were asked to serve us. I have to tell you, it was incredible. The man in charge of […]
I just returned from picking up my son from his mission, in Peru. What an experience! I made some wonderful new friends as we went around visiting many of the families my son taught and baptized. These people are warm, loving, accepting, and have committed themselves to the gospel. They struggle with hardships, poverty, and […]
Here is my interruption of the drawing that I did last week. This is a temple experience for the prophet Isaiah. The number three is very prominent. Symbolically the number three represents covenant. In the temple we as well as Isaiah make many covenants with the Lord. The seraphims are temple workers that help administer […]
There are many ways to interpret Isaiah, as seen by the many Isaiah-made-easy type books that are out there. We still struggle through, or stay clear, of that precious book.
