*** At the end of Elder Renlund’s talk – I have included my Conference Round Up – full of my “honorable mentions”, questions, promises, invitations, and personal applications. It is the BEST ending to six months of study 🤍 *** Elder Dale G. Renlund’s message, Accessing God’s Power through Covenants, spoke about covenants in ways …
Elder Ulisses Soares’ message, Followers of the Prince of Peace, touched my heart and spirit. Elder Soares always seems to speak in such a way that encourages me to be better without making me feel like I am failing (if that makes sense). Elder Soares spoke of discipleship. I was immediately drawn to his message …
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s message to parents was a message my heart needed. It felt like a companion to his message he gave last autumn in General Conference, Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth. I was immediately taken in by the story Elder Uchtdorf shared about a Dad leaving his young daughter to leave …
The message given by Elder Craig C. Christensen was an unexpected gem from General Conference. It was unexpected for me because it was not on my “radar” at all. There are certain messages given in conference that immediately touch my heart and I am so excited to revisit them in my study afterwards. But I …
When I first heard Elder Stevenson’s talk in general conference – while it gave me pause to think – I was not anticipating the effect it would have on me in the coming week (and last several weeks really). He spoke of Easter. He drew attention to the First Presidency letter that invited us to …

The hireling fleeth, because he is …
General Conference Each six months, I feel like my heart yearns for General Conference more and more. I love this weekend so much. I love feeling encouraged but also motivated to change. I love having a weekend where the outside world is quieted and we just get to immerse ourselves in family and the gospel. …
*** I miss our monthly family picture. However, my Sundays have changed a lot with my calling and, sadly, family pictures have not been happening. So instead, you get this nice, moody picture that we took at Rocky Mountain National Park last summer. *** Elder Kevin W. Pearson shared a beautiful and thought-provoking message about …
Lydia was asked to give a talk in Primary. At first, I must admit, I really didn’t know what to do. I was grateful that they wanted to include Lydie but unsure about how to help her with this. I asked Sarah if she would help Lydia and she was thrilled! This talk was tender …
Jacob was asked to give a talk in Primary back in January. I am so proud of this boy. Talking in front of others is very intimidating for him but Jacob never ceases to amaze me with his strength. Here is his talk so that we can remember his testimony right now. “In the New …
