Dear Sisters,
My heart has been lifted this
week as I have witnessed the good among the sisters in our ward. In the church news, the announcement was made
about the effort to increase the feeling of sisterhood of Latter-day-Saint
women of all ages across the world. The
general presidents of the Women’s' organizations have announced changes that
will impact Relief Society, Young Women and Primary. Women who live outside of
Utah and outside the United States have been called to serve on the newly
formed Young Women general board. Girls
age 8 and older, young women and women in the Church will gather for the
Church's semi-annual General Women’s meeting, which will replace the general
Relief Society and Young Women meetings that have been held annually for
decades. Sister Oscarson said
"Something that makes the meeting valuable is for women and girls ages 8
and older is, to be able to see how important they are for each other."
She wants to help them see that we are all in this work of salvation together,
that we are not divided into organizations that keep us separate. “We need one
another. It is unity. It is seamless in spirit and purpose. We are together.”
I add my testimony of increasing
sisterhood between women of all ages even in our ward. Each of our callings has unique capabilities
to bring together and elevate the gospel in our personal lives. How grateful I am that a loving Heavenly
Father is guiding his work on the earth knowing that when sisters are united in
a cause for good that greatness will prevail. I thank- you dear sisters for
working together to bring to pass so much good.
Thank-you also for working on quilts and donating whatever you could to
help in the humanitarian fair. I love
you all.
Sister Janilee Palmer
