To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1982. The other day, my husband and I were doing sealings when the sealer asked us what “rites” are.

This is a General Conference Odyssey post of the Welfare session of April 1982. Back in 1982, welfare concerns were employment, economy and maintaining your property.

This General Conference Odyssey post is on the Saturday morning session of October 1981. Last week, we heard some drastic changes to our Sunday schedule. Now, everyone is trying to figure out how to work that into a ward situation. All lessons in Priesthood/Relief Society will now be taught from General Conference addresses. And if […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post on the most recent General Conference gathering: October 2018. The whole church is abuzz over the big change to two hours of church. Who doesn’t like the idea of less church, less lesson preparation, and less stress in our callings? But what does this really mean for members of […]
I don’t usually pay much attention to political issues, but as more and more infringe upon my rights as a mother, as well as a citizen of the United States, I am beginning to see the importance of awareness, education, and action on my part to understand what I can do to maintain a secure […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the April 1981 Sunday afternoon session. With General Conference coming, we might reflect, once again, upon how we will react to the work we have all been called to do and will be reminded of. What is our errand in the work of the Lord? Back in […]
