Relief Society Lesson 2: Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself
I thought this section in the manual was great. Then again, I think the subject is about the best one imaginable. I don’t think we can ever teach love too often. I’ve left in everything in the lesson, and put extra quotes, discussion questions, and my own thoughts in italics throughout.
