To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Priesthood Session of the April 2008 General Conference. Elder Cook spoke on having a prophet. The title of his talk was, “Give Heed unto the Prophet’s Words.” I live in the Bible belt and it still amazes me how people down here love the Lord, but […]

Johnson was a practicing lawyer while married and raising three sons. She chose a career outside of the home. Wasn’t she listening when earlier […]
