Do You Want Me To Do More In Relief Society?

Several weeks ago I gave a workshop at a Relief Society Evening. Until then I hadn't met the Stake Relief Society President. And she didn't come to my presentation, so I still don't really know her.

Last week the Relief Society Secretary sent out a general email asking for feedback on the Relief Society Evening and what we would like to see taught next year. I replied with quite a long list of ideas for topics I would be interested in seeing.

Yesterday I received this email from the Stake Relief Society President:

"I feel impressed to share with you a quote from Boyd K. Packer: 'Your every need shall be fulfilled, now, and in the eternities; every neglect will be erased; every abuse will be corrected. All this can come to you and come quickly, when you devote yourself to Relief Society.' I haven't always known the truthfulness of this generous promise but I do now, and pray that it will be yours as you need it."

I don't get it.

Is she suggesting that I should be more devoted to Relief Society than I am? (I LOVE Relief Society)

And what I really want to know is--Are the neglects and abuses that will be erased and corrected the ones I am perpetrating or the ones I may have endured? Somehow I think it's the latter, but what I really need is the former.

I think your sweet Relief Society President felt to communicate something with you that she was not quite clear in doing, but it will come clear in time or it won't, but I'm sure she wrote to you from love.
Kind of like some of my less than articulate messages.

Love
Mom

Oooh I love Esther Irene. Where did you go? I was starting to really count on a daily dose of Sariah. I might just have to call you tomorrow and get my floor mopped.
