Hello Beautiful Relief Society Sister!
Has your life been touched by another sister? Has someone acted as an angel in your life through a very small act, perhaps without even knowing it? Have you had an experience in which another sister "saved" you?
We are asking you to share your memories of ways that other sisters have touched your life. We're not looking for that time when you were pulled from a burning building. Maybe the messages below will convey the theme better than this paragraph. We will be sharing these in the newsletter, and on the blog, each month, so if you wish to remain anonymous, please leave your name off. You can email your story to rsvaldosta2@gmail.com or just write it down and give it to a member of the Relief Society Presidency. Thank you! We are very excited for what these powerful messages may hold! "...by small and simple things are great things brought to pass..." Alma 37:6
"I was deeply impressed by one sister who was burdened with the challenges of age and illness but decided that although she couldn't do much, she could listen. And so each week she watched for people who looked troubled or discouraged, and she spent time with them, listening. What a blessing she was in the lives of so many people." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"...when we speak of those who are instruments in the hand of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil. Some of them we walk and talk with here, now, every day. Some of them reside in our own neighborhoods. Some of them gave birth to us, and in my case, one of them consented to marry me. Indeed heaven never seems closer than when we see the love of God manifested in the kindness and devotion of people so good and so pure that angelic is the only word that comes to mind." Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
