Wow! This talk from Elder Dale G. Renlund, given in a session of conference that “concentrated on the concerns of latter-day Saint women”, was FULL of eternal truths. He focused his remarks around the young women theme and dived into the various doctrine within that. On a personal note, it was nice to read and …
Last week I was sustained as the new music coordinator in our ward. I have to admit I was a little taken back (I thought they were giving a new calling to Mark!). And I hadn’t ever heard of this calling – obviously it has existed probably forever – but it was new to me! …
“We must become as a child – a little child.” I know we shouldn’t have favorites, and I mean it when I say I love and respect each member of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, but President Henry B. Eyring holds such a tender place in my heart. He always leaves me …

Oh goodness, this was a talk I needed to hear the last couple months! I was so touched by the words of Sister Camille N. Johnson. This talk spoke of faith, as well as adversity and discipleship. Sister Johnson spoke of letting go of our own narrative. And I can say, for myself, that has …
Sarah is always up to speak in Primary and she gave another beautiful talk this last Sunday. Love my little one and her sweet testimony. “In the Old Testament there was a prophet named Enoch. He and his people were righteous but they lived in a very wicked world. The Lord blessed His people. The …
I mentioned before that I felt like DISCIPLESHIP was a major theme of conference and this talk fits into that perfectly along with Elder Soares’ talk. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s talk is about love and repentance and moving towards our Savior and transforming ourselves into the people that we can become. This was one of …
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 …
