To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Back in the old days there used to be training for new Visiting Teachers. Every month there was a Visiting Teaching meeting. That turned into once a quarter, then a five minute blurb every once in a while. Soon, Visiting Teaching Training turned into Visiting Teaching Nagging. Everyone started getting busier and no one wanted […]
This is a page in the history of (at the time) the only Farmington, Utah Relief Society during the First World War and Second World War. I am fascinated how busy these women were serving and working and getting together to make great things happen. “1943 was surely a challenge, because World War One […]
These lessons are interesting as they are really teaching us how to be better visiting teachers to one another. I hope you are having special experiences as we practice what we learn, blessing the lives of all of us involved. I would like to share with you my experience with activation. I hope you can […]
When the Church was first restored, Joseph spoke to everyone he met about the Book of Mormon and the gospel. With all that he was learning at the time he must have been so excited to share it all.

Don’t ever underestimate your work as a Visiting Teacher, or in this case a Relief Society Magazine representative. Before 1970, The Relief Society Magazine, when purchased for $1 per year, gave you membership into the Relief Society. Sisters were called to be representatives, and asked to get everyone to subscribe to the magazine. There was […]
In the past, if there was a family having difficulty, the Bishop would find out about it, tell the Relief Society President, who went to the Compassionate Service Leader, who then went to the Visiting Teachers to check up on, and assist. That is a very long protocol. There has been a slight shift, for […]
Today our guest post comes from Amaryah Cannon: I have always loved visiting teaching, and I know that it is a central part of our work as disciples of Christ. Visiting teaching not only allows us to make friends with sisters in our wards, but also gives us opportunities to serve one another and […]
Almost one hundred years ago, the Relief Society began holding a Visiting Teaching Meeting, where visiting teachers were required to come and be trained. Guidelines from the Relief Society Handbook were discussed. Questions were answered. Completion was marked off, and the sisters were energized to continue on to the next month. Not all sisters were […]
