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.”

We are a "Favored" People



QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Howard W. Hunter 
"The ancients whom we love and read and quote so much-Adam and Abraham, Joshua and Joseph, Isaiah and Ezekiel and Ezra, Nephi and Alma, and Mormon and Moroni-all of these ancient prophets, priests, and kings focused their prophetic vision 'with peculiar delight' on our day, on our time. It is this hour to which they have looked forward 'with joyful anticipation,' and 'fired with heavenly and joyful anticipation they have sung and written and prophesied of this our day.'

"They saw us as 'the favored people' upon whom God would shower his full and complete latter-day glory, and I testify that is our destiny. What a privilege! What an honor! What a responsibility! And what joy! We have every reason in time and eternity to rejoice and give thanks for the quality of our lives and the promises we have been given. That we may do so, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen" ("An Anchor to the Souls of Men," BYU Devotional, February 7, 1993).
