General Conference Oh sweet conference. My love for this weekend seems to grow every six months. The last couple months have felt chaotic and just FULL. And it was so refreshing and filling in the best way to spend a weekend with absolutely nothing on the calendar but time spent as family, watching and listening …
I am so very grateful that this talk by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf is our final spotlighted talk from this last general conference because it left a powerful effect on me. It encompassed what really spoke to my heart this last conference, the subject of discipleship. This topic has really weighed on my heart a …
I knew I wanted to share this talk for the last several weeks, but I have been at a loss about what I wanted to say. President Dallin H. Oaks’ talk was about the Plan of Salvation. We learn about “the plan” early on in our gospel learning. It essentially lays the foundation for everything …
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 …
“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 …
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 …
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 …
