"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young, and hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old...We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."

Happy Birthday, Relief Society!

In March we celebrated, with sisters worldwide, the birthday of the Relief Society organization.  We had a lovely evening filled with dinner, music, and visiting.  The dinner and the gorgeous cake were all lovingly made by sisters in our ward--thank you!  We were also able to enjoy a reenactment of the first meeting of the Relief Society in Nauvoo.  Below is a picture of some of the sisters who participated in the reenactment; we're sorry we didn't get everyone!  It was a lovely evening and it was fun to learn more about the beginnings of the wonderful organization of Relief Society.  Indeed, we are here to "do something extraordinary!"
