I belong to an organization of women whose membership is worldwide and whose numbers are in the tens of thousands, being a member since I was 18 years old. I have worked on countless projects; some cultural, some in relief aid, some in watch care. Last week we celebrated 169 years of Relief Society. Charity Never Faileth was the theme for our birthday celebration. Our program was dedicated to the Relief Society sisters in Japan who undoubtedly spend everyday caring for the families in their congregations and communities. I was lucky this year to serve with Garna as we planned this event.
She worked so hard to provide a spiritual feast for all her sisters.
Lyn and Vada headed up the food committee. The food looked delicious and tasted wonderful as well.
The program was a combination of inspiring word and music.
Jamie and Chass were narrators.
Jan, Joan, Gail, Earthsong, Dorothy and I gave our time and energy to some beautiful music. I felt very grateful that we had practiced diligently because our musical language was communicated with all the spirit it had been written.
We were not unfruitful in bearing testimony of the mission and destiny of our worldwide organization.
Babies here and babies to come joined in.
We are united daughters of God, and our lives have purpose and direction.
As a worldwide sisterhood we are united in our devotion to Jesus Christ. I feel grateful to belong to this sisterhood.
