Promptings of the Spirit by Elder Gary E. Stevenson was so timely for me. I revisited this message when I was in the thick of Christmas preparations. I was up late night after night trying to finish scrapbooks for my kids. It is a project of love and I am so grateful for them (and …
O how each one of us needed this message from Elder David A. Bednar. In the Path of Their Duty was a message where each of us felt seen. It is something we all need on some level. Someone to notice what we are trying to do. I am learning (I hope!) more and more …
<Artwork by Yongsung Kim> General Conference This General Conference I did not prepare for as much as I have in the past – and I felt the difference. It’s disappointing when you have felt the goodness of preparation and then feel the change when that preparation is absent. Our family had come home earlier the …
*** 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.

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 …
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.

This talk has been brought to my attention several times over the last six months and the Holy Ghost has been making it very known to me that I needed this one. There were things in this talk by Elder Jonathan S. Schmidt that I really needed to hear on a personal level. They say …
