December Relief Society Report

SALT LAKE CITY-The Relief Society, a philanthropic and educational women’s organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has done numerous things to bless the lives of souls around the world.

Members of the Relief Society General Presidency and Primary Presidency of the Church wrapped up virtual ministering visits with sisters around the world.

Virtual meetings consisted of leadership instructors, devotionals and individual visits.

Virtual visits also occurred in Europe as November devotionals occurred in Armenia, Moscow, Russia, and Kyiv, Ukraine.

A Primary teacher in the Moscow Russia Stake, Mavlianova Liubov Aleksandrovna, sang a new Primary song, “I Will Walk With Jesus,” in Russian.

Sister Aleksandrovna is a performer for the prestigious Bolshoi Theater of Moscow as well.

The leaders later hosted devotionals with youth and young single adults in Russia and Ukraine.

A virtual gathering occurred with missionaries assigned to Armenia, The Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

At Perth, Australia, Relief Society sisters gathered a collection of items to donate a project for the Lifehouse program, which helps homeless women in Australia.

In Guatemala, Relief Society sisters worked with hurricane survivors in the aftermath of Hurricanes Eta and Iota that made landfall in Central American in November.

Also in Guatemala, on November 17, the Salt Lake City-based faith donated four heated cribs, 8,000 surgical masks and a sound system to the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Unit of the San Juan de Dios General Hospital of Guatemala City.

At Montevideo, Uruguay, members of the Relief Society and other Latter-day Saints recently volunteered at soup kitchens in their community to combat hunger during these arduous times.

The CAIF Mainumbi Center also received 25 boxes of food from the Church in Montevideo.
