In Relief Society today we focused on "Knowing, Loving, and Growing," by Elder Hans T. Boom, a talk from October 2019 General Conference that I have quoted in the past, when we were studying Ephesians in the Bible and learning about how to Strengthen Families. In addition, we studied "The Second Great Commandment," by President Russell M. Nelson, from October 2019 General Conference.
We had a great discussion, and I was mostly focused on just listening to it but I did jot down a quote, and another quote that I found as a result of the lesson. Lastly, I drew a little picture showing a girl who was inspired to bring a watermelon to a woman she barely knew, but it was exactly what the pregnant, lonely woman was craving. Listen to the Lord, and follow promptings to help others in need.

In the above referenced talk, President Nelson stated:
Latter-day Saints, as with other followers of Jesus Christ, are always looking for ways to help, to lift, and to love others. They who are willing to be called the Lord’s people “are willing to bear one another’s burdens, … to mourn with those that mourn; … and [to] comfort those that stand in need of comfort.”3
They truly seek to live the first and second great commandments. When we love God with all our hearts, He turns our hearts to the well-being of others in a beautiful, virtuous cycle.
"In Knowing, Loving, and Growing," Elder Hans T. Boom says:
We all know where we can do better. There is no need to repeatedly remind each other, but there is a need to love and minister to each other and, in doing so, provide a climate of willingness to change.
