Worldwide Sisterhood

The word "sister" is defined as a girl or woman who shares a common ancestry, allegiance, character, or purpose with another or others, specifically:
a. A kinswoman.
b. A woman fellow member, as of a sorority.
c. A fellow woman.
d. A close woman friend or companion.
It also includes sistership - sisterhood: an association or society of women who are linked together by a common religion or trade or interest.

According to this definition, we are truly sisters. We have forged these bonds of a ward family and are therefore, as the word's origin would suggest, each other’s “own.” May we truly seek the Lord’s help and guidance to be in tune with who among our sisters might be in need. When we do that, we put ourselves in a place to help them gain comfort and reassurance (as Elder Quentin’s son did from his mother*) & bless their lives with the Lord’s help. We don’t have to have be their visiting teacher, just their friend.

As promised, here is the referenced video taken from lds.org, that reminds us of the impressive & divine mission of the Relief Society, of which we are all an important part. We hope you can feel, if even to a small degree, how essential each one of you are to this mission!



Thank you, THANK YOU to the many sisters who contributed to making our "Sisters Around the World" dinner such a success! And to those who were unable to attend, you were missed!
