Elder Ronald A. Rasband shared a message about hastening. It’s such a great word that we read often in the Doctrine and Covenants but maybe it loses a little bit of its punch. Elder Rasband reminds us that “Hastening is a word that matters. It suggests moving quickly, accelerating, and even urgency. In the grow …
General Conference We had a wonderfully peaceful General Conference weekend where we were able to hear from our Prophet, Apostles, and other leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ again.
