To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
How do we strengthen families when we are bombarded by bad examples? How do we stand spiritually firm when we want to wade in questionable activities (not bad, just questionable)? How do we set an example for those around us? As women of God, we need to recognize that we have value, first, and foremost. […]
The Book of Mormon is full of examples of faithful women, who stood strong in spite of opposing voices around them. Can you imagine Sariah’s fear when men sought her husband’s life? And how he told her that they needed to leave all of their luxuries behind and travel to the sea, cross the sea […]
What makes us holy women? We follow the Lord and His commandments that lead toward salvation. Holy women DO NOT follow the world, Satan, and his minions. It is a choice each member of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ has to make. I wish I’d been alive to hear Eliza R. […]
As we’ve been reading about the Second Coming in our Sunday School lessons, and hearing about things in the news, I’ve been thinking about what it is we should all be doing to prepare for the Lord’s second coming. I have come to my own conclusion. There may be more to it, but this is […]
Our Visiting Teaching message, this month, is on the Purpose of Relief Society. As I have studied all of the presidents of our organization, in this dispensation, I have been struck with how much they accomplished in the areas they were specifically designed to manage. Eliza, with her ability to teach gospel truths with poetic […]
There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation Personal Revelation Without sounding boastful, it is understood that women are naturally closer to the Spirit. Our innate ability toward […]

I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation. After the Pattern of the Priesthood LDS women, who want the Priesthood and think they should have the Priesthood, don’t […]
I found a great article with loads of good strategies for Relief Society presidents. Four women, on a panel, shared some of their experiences while serving. I happily share some of their great thoughts and suggestions. Maureen Ursenbach Beecher is one of our Mormon Women historians. She knew a lot about our early sisters, and […]
Eliza traveled all over the Territory, that is now Utah, to teach the Bishops and organize the women into Relief Societies. Before she set out, she wrote an article for the Deseret News, on April 22, 1868, laying out the responsibilities and privileges of the Relief Society. The article contains some interesting points I find […]
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 […]
