To fulfill the purpose of Relief Society, the Lord has commissioned each Relief Society sister and the organization as a whole to:
1. Increase in faith and personal righteousness.
2. Strengthen families and homes.
3. Serve the Lord and his children.
Early pioneer women were driven from homes and persecuted because of their faith. Others survived fires and floods. They crossed oceans and walked thousands of miles, tolerating dirt, illness, and near starvation to help build the Lord's kingdom on the earth. Many of them buried husbands, children, parents, and siblings along the way. Why did they do this? They did it because the fire of their faith burned in their souls. In order to fulfill the purpose of the Shelley 1st Ward Relief Society, we all need to increase the fire of our faith. Study our scriptures, pray, attend church, and do our visiting teaching! All these will ignite that fire, feed that fire, and we too will be able to do hard things!
