To the Women of the Church: “We Need You!”
“No one can do what a righteous woman can do.”
President Russell M. Nelson shared this powerful statement during the historic general women’s session, held for the first time on the Saturday evening of general conference, in place of general priesthood session. During this worldwide meeting of women and girls ages eight and up
“My dear sisters, we need you! We ‘need your strength, your conversion, your conviction, your ability to lead, your wisdom, and your voices,’” said President Nelson. “We simply cannot gather Israel without you.”
e invited them to help shape the gathering of Israel by doing four things:
- Participate in a 10-day fast from social media
and from any other negative or impure media. President Nelson
encouraged women to notice how the fast affects their priorities and
then to record and act on spiritual impressions they receive.
- Read the Book of Mormon between now and the end of the year.
President Nelson suggested that as they read, they mark each verse that
refers to the Savior and talk about Him with friends and family.
- Establish a pattern of regular temple attendance. Time in the temple can lead to greater understanding about how to draw upon God’s priesthood power, President Nelson said.
- Participate fully in Relief Society. He added that studying the Relief Society purpose statement and the Relief Society declaration can help women understand who they are and who the Lord needs them to be.
