To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I was reading about Noah and rainbows the other day and saw the phrase perpetual generations. I wondered what it meant, so I went on a journey of discovery. Rainbows mean something different today. I believe that the bible speaks truth and so I share what I learn from the scriptures. The Covenant A rainbow in […]
I thought I would share my Sacrament meeting talk on Personal Revelation. During this past year, I have felt an urgency to strengthen my personal relationship with my Savior. The best way to know Him is to obey Him by demonstrating our faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, kindness, charity, diligence, and humility. (This is according to […]
When I first set out to discover Relief Society, nothing was online. I remember the first time I walked into the Church History Library (which, at that time, was in the corner of the main floor of the Church Office Building), I didn’t know what I was going to find. I didn’t know what to […]

I just realized that I passed right over October 1978’s conference when it was ratified that all worthy men can receive the priesthood—and I apologize. This was a big moment in our history and it was displayed beautifully this past week in the Be One celebration at the Conference Center. If you missed it, you […]
Former Relief Society General President, Julie B. Beck, spoke at the 2016 Church History Symposium about the Daughters in My Kingdom book. She confirmed, “The Lord’s hand was in the making of this book. From the very beginning, the Spirit directed the work of bringing at the forefront the need to understand the history of […]
I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about it’s history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store, as we become participators […]
