Due to her extensive service to the church and her efforts in discovering the True Cross, St. Helena is known as the “Equal of the Apostles.” During the Reform Movement women took advantage of the new ideas that were…

Have you ever wondered why is it that you go to school, and instead of feeling that you are an overcomer, you feel that the school, the students, are getting you down? Or, why is it that the day after you genuinely believed, this book (the Bible) seems to be untrue because in it are promises that are not evident or apparent in your life? Why is it? For a moment, think back to the day that God converted your willing soul. Perhaps it was at a camp, or at a regular service, but think back to that…
