President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

"Small and Simple Things"

Alma said,
"By small and simple things
are great things brought to pass"
Alma 37:6

Marjorie Pay Hinckley made this observation:
"I couldn't possibly have understood this when I was young like I do now.
When we look back on decades of life, we see that the
seemingly insignificant things we do over and over
actually weave the pattern of our lives. And if those
small and simple things are good,
we will end up having lived a fulfilling life---
and that is a GREAT THING!"

"Small and Simple Things"

I have since pondered these thoughts...My one "single" decision to
JOIN the CHURCH...has brought to pass events I would
have never dreamt of when I was young.
By that one small and simple decision, my ENTIRE LIFE
changed. Opportunities were opened up to me that has had
a profound effect on my life and others that
surround me.

Sisters...ponder for a moment...the "small and simple things"
you have done in the course of your life...
Follow that "small" choice...
and see the results of that one "simple thing" you chose...
See how the "hand of God" played in that
"small and simple act"...bringing to pass
"great things"...

You will find you have been on a REMARKABLE JOURNEY!
Be a WITNESS of this truth...
