A challenge to all the women...

So a couple of weeks ago my roommate Kristen and I decided to spend a little time memorizing The Relief Society Declaration. This has brought new meaning to Relief Society for me. It is a great reminder of what we are striving for and what we can work on. So my challenge to all of you is to memorize the declaration before Thanksgiving. Good Luck!

We are beloved spirit daughters of God, and our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction. As a worldwide sisterhood, we are united in our devotion to Jesus Christ, our Savior and Exemplar. We are women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity who:

Increase our testimonies of Jesus Christ through prayer and scripture study.

Seek spiritual strength by following the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

Dedicate ourselves to strengthening marriages, families, and homes.

Find nobility in motherhood and joy in womanhood.

Delight in service and good works.

Love life and learning.

Stand for truth and righteousness.

Sustain the priesthood as the authority of God on earth.

Rejoice in the blessings of the temple, understand our divine destiny, and strive for exaltation.
