Relief Society Trivia

Hello Relief Society Sisters!

Lue'ne had originally asked me to come up with a game to play at our Relief Society Activity today celebrating the creation of the Relief Society organization. Even though we can't meet together in person to celebrate, I thought we could still commemorate the occasion by having a little Relief Society Quiz! So brush up your church history knowledge and let's answer some questions! Share with us all how you did on the quiz; I just might mail a little surprise to the person who has the most correct answers! :) -Kammi
