Last Saturday, I got the oportunity to attend my church's annual women's conference. It was Broadcast from Salt lake and the Relief Society Presidency spoke as well as President Hinkley.
This is a quote from President Hinkley. He is 94 years old and I am pretty sure this is our last conference with him as President. He has Colon Cancer. He is physically frail but is a spiritual Giant.
Now, my dear sisters, just a word in conclusion. I remind you that you are not second-class citizens in the kingdom of God. You are His divine creation. Men hold the priesthood. Yours is a different role, but also extremely important. Without you, our Father's plan of happiness would be frustrated and have no real meaning. You are 50 percent of the membership of the Church and mothers of the other 50 percent. No one can dismiss you lightly.
