Women of God

"If we love the Lord, we will have reverence for him, we will have reverence for his house, we will have reverence for the home, for ourselves, and for his priesthood."

-Marion G. Romney, September 1982 Ensign

“The very experience of enduring chastening can refine us and prepare us for greater spiritual privileges.”
—Elder D. Todd Christofferson

Notes From Stake Conference

These are some notes I took from Elder Christofferson's talk at Stake Conference. Most of his talk focused on missionary work, but there are a few notes of things he said toward the end as well. Sorry, they're a bit disjointed, but I wanted to share anyway! -Jodi R.

• It is our privilege to share the gospel, a fundamental duty and privilege that all of us have. "Go ye therefore and teach all nations..."
• We must be examples to the Church (of forbearance, of controlling our tempers, etc.). You are a light--people should be able to see something of the Savior in each of us. "Be thou examples..."
• There are too many daughters with no dates and too many young men who postpone marriage for careers, etc. There is nothing that has the same significance as marriage and family. Don't leave to the side what ought to be the center.
• "Bless us with faith to endure some things and with faith to change some things."
• If you really desire it, He will communicate with you. Your tears are precious to Him. You are precious to Him.

If anyone else has notes or thoughts to share about Stake Conference, please email them to 33reliefsociety@gmail.com. Thanks!

Remember Your Visiting Teaching

"There are many sisters who are living in rags--spiritual rags. They are entitled to gorgeous robes, spiritual robes, as in the prable. We talk so much about duty, but it is your privilege to go into homes and exchange robes for rags."

--President Spencer W. Kimball

"We are going to do something extraordinary..." -Emma Smith, at the first meeting of the Relief Society
