The Stake Relief Society would like to remind all sisters, families and stake members to continue to "Grow Forth and Garden" even in the summer heat! It's not too late to start. Please remember to take a photo of yourself with your growing items - we will be collecting those very soon for our Fall Stake event. Enjoy your harvest!

Dear Sisters:
As I traveled on beautiful sunshiny, tree-lined roads to visit Eldersburg ward's Relief Society this past Sunday, I decided to listen to Mormon Channel through an app on my phone ( I love technology!). Lo and Behold, playing was an episode of "Conversations" which had Sister Sheri Dew interviewing Sister Julie B. Beck and her daughters! I was so happy to stumble upon it! Does it get any better than that? Perhaps some of you have already heard it. In case you are not familiar with this website, here is the information.

The link to this episode of conversations is:

I also recently found the link to Sister Beck's entire talk from BYU Women's conference this past April.

I would counsel each of you to take time to watch her talk from the conference, and to consider listening to the Conversations episode in the near future. I personally can never get enough of hearing from Sister Beck. She is our direct Relief Society leader and our example. She discusses family, working mothers, finding balance, women's roles as defined by media and the world, our relationship with the Priesthood, Mary and Martha, preparing sisters for the temple, etc. It is a powerful talk. Please consider also sending these links out to your sisters. We will post them on our blog as well.
Thank you for all you do - we know you are always busy and engaged in good things,
Sister Deon Tait
