2011 Theme: The Errand of Angels

The errand of angels is given to women; and this is a gift that as sisters we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human, To cheer and to bless in humanity's name.

Notes from Ward Conference

Sunday was our Ward Conference and we heard much good counsel from our stake leaders. Sister Stewart, our Stake Relief Society President reminded us of the importance of the
relief Society program and its origin in doing service and helping others. Sister Fields, 2nd counselor in the Stake Relief Society spoke of the importance of the family and making our homes a refuge from the world. I shared my thoughts on how to find peace in an increasingly troubled world.
Sister Kathleen Hughes of the General Relief Society stated "Life often feels like a great pile of obligations, frustrations, and disappointments. But the Lord is there, always the same, His arms still outstretched. When we feel overwhelmed, we have to remember the peace He has spoken to us on previous occasions. His peace brings comfort and strength; the world cannot give that to us." (Remembering the Lord's Love, Ensign Nov. 2006, 111-12)
How do we find peace?
The Lord gave us the answer. In D&C 19:23 He said, "Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my spirit and you shall find peace in me,"
Peace found in our Savior will always sustain us through any of life's trials.
