I am so excited! Starting 2014 they will be combining Young women, women and older daughters for Relief Society Conference!!!! It will now be a General Women's Meeting.
These meetings are so wonderful and uplifting. Click here to watch them in the future at LDS.org
Let me tell you why I'm so excited about this, but, first, check out the newsletter to read about these new changes!!!!!
Okay, so, I can't help but ponder over the relief society and young women organizations in the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints when I have been so involved in both of them.“As the women of the Church gather together—sisters, mothers, and daughters—they, their families, and the Church will be strengthened and blessed.” —The First Presidency
I have always wished they would combine relief society and Young women's meetings, so they could be semi-annual and because it seemed to me so important for the younger and older women of the church to work together so they could help each other.
After listening to a talk which stated that relief society and young women need to be working together: Young women ought to be involved more in relief society before reaching the age necessary to enter relief society so they don't feel out of place once they switch from young women to relief society. Since this talk, I have wished that they would combine the young women and relief society conference. Guess what!!!! Now they have!! or course that had to come by revelation before it could be changed but I'm SO excited about it!!!!!
Maybe one day the young women will begin helping with visiting teaching. Who knows. I'm no prophet or anything but I think the young women would do an excellent job at providing relief for the sisters in the ward (especially with babysitting). lol. Of course, things all happen the lord's way, and in the Lord's time. Not saying that will happen but I Do think it would be cool if it did.
