Elder Patrick Kearon has become a quick favorite of mine. I am grateful for his tender spirit and messages. His latest message was about joy and worship. And while I enjoyed it the first time I heard it, it was one of those that really caused me to ponder when I read and studied it …
Elder Neil L. Andersen shared such a powerful message on hope. Hope is such an incredible feeling and gift. Sadly, I think it is one of those gifts we don’t really appreciate until feelings of hopelessness creep into our life. Then we see it for all of its goodness. I know in my life, feelings …
General Conference Another six months has come and gone and we were able to have the privilege of hearing from our Prophet, Apostles and other leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ again. It’s one of my very favorite weekends. As always, (but maybe even more so this conference) the messages and testimonies were focused …
As I am preparing for another weekend of goodness listening to a living Prophet, Apostles, and other leaders, I am reflecting on what I have learned from this last conference and the months that have followed.

Throughout my whole study of General Conference the last five months, my mind has kept going back to this message from Sister J. Anette Dennis, Put Ye On the Lord Jesus Christ.

This message from Elder Jose L. Alonso, of the Seventy, was one I needed to hear. His message is His testimony of our Savior. It is simple and beautiful. I am not going to give commentary on his message. It speaks for itself. But I will share my testimony. I know my life is infinitely …
This message from Elder David A. Bednar was one that I very much needed to hear. He spoke of something my mind and spirit are in desperate search of lately, an inner spiritual stillness. I am in a busy stage of life. And it’s not my favorite. I know some people thrive and love it …
Elder Ulisses Soares’ messages are always filled with doctrine. I have learned that his messages are ones that I need to read and re-read because there is so much depth in them. There were two paragraphs in particular in his most recent message that are bursting with promise and truth. Elder Soares spoke of covenants …
General Conference Earlier this month we had the wonderful privilege of hearing from a Prophet of the Lord and leaders of His Church. It was amazing, as always. The messages were filled with testimony about our Savior, Jesus Christ. But if I were to pick one theme for me it was TEMPLES. I felt like …
