This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of the October 2006 General Conference.

This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 2006 Priesthood session of General Conference.   Rise Up, O Men of God! This is the clarion call to our fathers, brothers, sons, and all men.

This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 2006, Saturday Afternoon session of conference.    A while ago, I read an article by Elder David A.

I’m home from my mission. I’ve caught up with three new grandchildren, and have been getting to know all (15!!) of them all over again. I’m working in the temple, which is incredibly satisfying.

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

Once a senior missionary couple is out in the mission field, they can make their own schedule. The mission president will assign you to a certain area, where you will stay for the duration of your mission. There are no transfers like the younger missionaries.

Because of COVID-19, the Missionary Training Center (MTC) closed for about a year and a half, like everything else.
