As I have dived deeper into Elder David A. Bednar’s talk, But We Needed Them Not, it has really made me ponder my own discipleship and where I am on “the path.” It’s been an experience I am grateful for. Early on in his talk, Elder Bednar speaks about Lehi’s vision of the tree of …
General Conference General Conference is easily one of my favorite weekends. It has become like a holiday in the Berning household, we have a countdown chain and everything, we LOVE it! This conference was a little tricky. We are moving in a matter of days and so the house is in chaos and every moment …
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has been a long time favorite of mine. Something about him and how he teaches seems to resonate in a special way with me. And this talk was no different. Elder Uchtdorf spoke of how to be a better disciple. I appreciated the study that Elder Uchtdorf shared about how we …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
