Last year, I asked each member of the family to write their testimonies of the Book of Mormon (it is what we studied last year). It was an instant treasure to me. So I had to do it again this year – this time, with the focus on the Doctrine and Covenants. BEN: I think …
We Believe
“Next year I am going to be turning eight years old and will have the opportunity to be baptized. I am so excited! While I am waiting, I am preparing to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One way I can prepare is by learning the Articles of Faith. …
The Savior’s Abiding Compassion
An overarching theme I saw this last conference was discipleship – in particular, traits of a disciple of Christ. And one of those characteristics is compassion. This was one of those talks that really just pierced my heart. Reading the words of Elder Soares was humbling as he described so well who I want to …
The Need for a Church
This is my fourth General Conference that I have taken the time to study afterwards. I am a little embarrassed to admit that – I have always loved General Conference – but really taking the effort to dive into the talks in the six months inbetween Conference was not something I used to do. BUT …
A Great Work
“Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind.” Doctrine & Covenants 64:33 A couple weeks ago, Jacob, Sarah, and Benjamin were able to participate in our ward’s …
The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation
General Conference Oh how I love General Conference. It fills my sprit and helps give me purpose and direction. This conference seemed even more centered on our Savior, Jesus Christ than in conferences past. And it was filled with messages of FAITH and LOVE. Another theme I haven’t seen recently that I felt repeated several …
Christ is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains
I have always loved General Conference but the last year has truly been life changing. I have begun studying conference in a way like I never have before and it has been incredible. I feel like I have missed so much over the years but am so happy moving forward. Studying the words from last …
The Book of Mormon
2020 had it’s fair share of downs, but studying The Book of Mormon was definitely not one of them! The last couple years I have tried to put a conscious effort into consistently being in the scriptures and the last two years, with Come Follow Me, has been incredible. I want to be in the …
General Conference
This general conference was ALL about adversity and faith. Maybe it was just our family that needed to hear this, but I have a feeling that there is a whole lot of us that probably needed to hear these words of encouragement and words that maybe stretched us a little. I cannot wait to dive …
Jacob’s Baptism
This was a very special day. I am still pinching myself that I have a child old enough to be baptized. But next to the day Jacob was born, this was probably the happiest day of my life as Jacob’s mom. I didn’t anticipate what an emotional day it would be. My cup was just …
