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.
