The Beginning of Better Days

Hi Sisters,

Thanks to all who came to our meeting this month where we finished our discussion of Daughters in My Kingdom. It has been a life-changing experience for me to learn as I studied individually and then to further learn as I listened to your comments each month. You are all wonderful women who bless my life tremendously. Thank you!

On Thursday, November 15th at 7:00 pm we will be having scripture study group at Susan's home. We will be discussing our individual favorite parts of general conference. Bring some of your impressions to share. It certainly was an amazing and historic conference!

We will NOT meet in December, but for those who weren't there, we talked about discussing in January, The Beginning of Better Days: Divine Instruction to Women from the prophet Joseph Smith, a book recently published by Deseret Book. It includes the minutes of the early Relief Society as well as two essays by Sheri Dew and Virginia Pearce. You might want to add this book to your Christmas list (currently $17 at Deseret Book and $16 at Seagull Book):
