Relief Society General Broadcast

Linda K Burton (General President)
Jeremiah saw our day
  “After their day . . . sin no more.”
The atonement applies to us personally
“The promised land is out there, we have to keep searching”
Choose what you will take in your cart
 - What is written in your heart?
Ask the Lord to live righteously
Keep commandments
Help those around you

3 Principles of Atonement

1) All that is unfair in life can be made right
 We share all challenges
 “Suffering and adversity” build us up more than peace and tranquility
 The enemy knows when to attack us
 - The Savior is there to lift us up

2) Overcome natural man/woman and become disciples of Christ
 Sinning is like falling into a pit
 Repent and obey, climb out of your pit
 Be determined to stay on the path

3) Evidence of love of Heavenly Father for his children
 Give thanks for the Savior
 “I am worth something.” - $20 woman
 Know you are a beloved daughter/son of God

Song: Medley “I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus/How Could the Father Tell the World” – choir

Carole M. Stephens (1st counselor)
Be wide awake for your duties
New Testament – Armor of Light
Book of Mormon – Mourn, comfort, stand as witness
Baptism
We won’t make a serious mistake without first having a warning from the Holy Ghost

Ask, “Have I had a serious change of heart?”

The Savior understands your pain and sadness
“Come unto me . . .  I will give you rest”

Ask, “What is my Sacrifice?”

Don’t let your sisters down spiritually – ever
We are all pulling handcarts
See a need and act
We are never alone
Continue to strive for blessings
Be awake to your duty – don’t just be on the journey

Linda S. Reeves (2nd counselor)
The Savior and the Father know when we are in pain
 - They feel the depth of our suffering
Alma, “And he shall go forth . . . He will take upon him . . .”
“Cast upon the night you cried to me in your heart”
You can not do things alone – the Lord is there for comfort and relief
Alma the Younger’s words to his son Helaman
The Lord has not forgotten you – he will carry you through
Cast your burdens upon him – tell him your afflictions
Reel and see, then help those around us

Song: “I Stand All Amazed” – choir and congregation

President Henry B. Eyring (1st Counselor of church)
“Cherish, watch, love, instruct” – Lucy Mack Smith
1) Care
2) Teach, be taught
3) Sit down together with God
Responded to the call to go to the relief of others
“What comes next for willing hands to do?”
The Lord watches over each of us
“Done to the least, ye have done it unto me”
“Keep the Faith”
When we encounter someone in distress, we act like the Good Samaritan
Always invite family members to help when in need
Caring for those in need takes a team
You feel increasing love for those you serve
All things must be done in order
Retain your power to serve
Put your focus on the Savior
Seek often the circle of sisters – the Lord is there

Song: “I Need Thee Every Hour” – choir
