Sister Beck Emphasizes Relief Society's Role in God's Plan

Relief Society general president Julie B. Beck met with nearly 10,000 Relief Society sisters and leaders on the BYU-Idaho campus on February 26, 2011, to strengthen their faith and to encourage them in their roles in Relief Society and in the plan of salvation.

In a general session and a leadership training session, Sister Beck fielded questions from women and priesthood leaders from more than 40 southeastern Idaho, USA, stakes.

Sister Beck testified that as those involved in the work of Relief Society keep the Lord's purposes in their heads and in their hearts and fulfill His purposes here on earth, they will be blessed, strengthened, cleansed, and healed.

"We have an organization established by the Lord to bless His daughters," she said. "The Lord knows who you are because it is His work. He will strengthen and magnify you."
