To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
When my husband and I were first married we belonged to a ward that was affectionately referred to as “Newly wed and Nearly dead”. It’s funny, now years later, we are in a similar ward where we are closer to the nearly dead members. Oh well, what goes around comes around, right? There are a […]
“A fine member of the Church was talking with a neighbor who was not of our faith. When the topic of discussion turned to general conference, the neighbor asked, “You say you have prophets and apostles? And twice a year in a worldwide conference they reveal the word of God?” “Absolutely,” the member replied with […]

Don’t Stop Now!–Suggestions For More Writing Go Back to Lesson 11. This is the last challenge for this course.

This is just one of the ways Relief Society sisters can help one another […]
What If…–Would That My Life Had Been Different Go Back to Lesson 10. We all have regrets. Some are bitter and some are wistful. Write your feelings, but do your best to keep it light, positive, and teaching, like these words from an older man who took the class in my mother’s ward: […]
Testimony–A Record for your Posterity Go Back to Lesson 9. Writing down your testimony can be the most important record you leave for your children. As the scriptures teach repeatedly, “And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our […]
Combining Historical Research with Family Lore Go Back to Lesson 8. Even though this is a writing course–and hopefully will get you to write your thoughts down in a pleasant, non-threatening atmosphere–this lesson calls for a little more than just sitting down and writing. Where did your family legends come from? Is […]
Is This Really Necessary?–Bad things…and pets Go back to Lesson 7. Our personal histories should be filled with happy stories. But face it, our lives aren’t always happy. Bad things happen to everyone. Do we write about it? Many people will tell you not to record the bad things that happen to […]
