As we close another year I would like to think about this past year and express my joy at the blessing of be able to work with all of you in one way or another. You are good, strong, faithful women, desiring to serve our Father in Heaven and you have answered his call to help. The purpose of Relief Society is to prepare daughters of God for the blessings of eternal life as they increase in faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help others who are in need. I truly believe that each of you have made personal sacrifices in order for Visiting Teaching to be as successful as it has been. Thank you for all that you do!
