I realize this makes it hard to find particular […] The post New and Updated Quotes appeared first on Relief Society Women ..read more

I was just reading about Gidgiddoni and Lachoneus, in the Book of Mormon (3 Nephi 3). Giddianhi, the leader of the Gadianton Robbers, has just written a very nasty letter to Lachoneus saying they are going to wipe out all the Nephites. As our prophets have told us, we are living parallel lives to the […] The post Relief Society Activities Among the Nephites appeared first on Relief Society Women ..read more

I ran across a book a while ago that made me appreciate what the early sisters in our church had that was denied so many other women for so long. Freedom to think for themselves.  The book is called, The Woman They Could Not Silence, by Kate Moore. It’s about a woman, Elizabeth Packard, who […] The post Women Have a Voice Here appeared first on Relief Society Women ..read more

And if […] The post Member Leader Support (MLS) Missionaries appeared first on Relief Society Women ..read more

A few days after we received and accepted our call, we got a phone call from some senior missionaries who got us started on the financial aspect of our mission, including health insurance, car insurance, and car registration. To be honest, we didn’t realize the importance of this phone call and had no idea what […] The post Mentoring Senior Missionaries appeared first on Relief Society Women ..read more

Ask us how we learned that a missionary application only lasts one year. Right after my husband retired, it took about three months to get our doctor visits in and everything filled out and submitted to the missionary department. Being on the older side, more tests must be run. And some tests you fail, so […] The post Accepting the Missionary Call appeared first on Relief Society Women ..read more

We talk about Self-Reliance, but I wonder if there is more to it than we immediately think it is. L. Tom Perry gave a talk, in October 1991, about Self-Reliance where he says, “Independence and self-reliance are critical to our spiritual and temporal growth.
