To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Our temple attendance is how we prepare to recognize, understand, and stand in front of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Recently, I’ve sat in some talks that help us get the most out of our temple experiences. This list is worth pondering and thinking about, and I invite you to do so. Pay Attention There […]
At BYU’s Women’s Conference (2015), I was overwhelmed with thoughts from the theme, which was Covenants. Are you a covenant keeper? What does it really mean to keep the covenants I have made with my Father in heaven? Do I even really understand what covenants I’ve made and what it takes to live by them? Covenant […]
Pioneers are an important part of American History, but we forget that these brave and forgiving pioneers were rescued twice. Here is the story of the Second Rescue. The Riverton Wyoming Stake was blessed to actively participate in a Second Rescue of the Martin and Willie Handcart Companies. Their story is unique, yet resonates […]
I don’t have much to say about this month’s visiting teaching message. But I do have some questions. What did those Saints, in Nauvoo, know about the Lord that made receiving their endowment so important before crossing the Plains? Are we as anxious to go to the temple as those Saints were?

Abraham is promised that if he and his wife will keep the covenant they make with the Lord, and marry under the Everlasting Covenant of Marriage, they will have seed or posterity like the sand on the seashore and like the stars in the heavens. This promise of endless posterity is symbolically represented on the […]
On the exterior of the Salt Lake Temple, there are many celestial symbols such as moonstones, sunstones, starstones, etc. On the central west tower of the Salt Lake Temple on the upper section is the constellation of the Big Dipper. Why? All of these celestial symbols are reminders of the vision of Abraham in the […]
One of the great things about reading talks from the Brethren is that besides giving us deeper understanding, they dig up some inspiring quotes from others that we either aren’t aware of, or don’t know where to find. Thanks, Elders! From Elder D. Todd Christofferson’s talk (given at a BYU Family History Fireside, March 2002), […]
I just have to share with you my lesson on settling the Salt Lake Valley. It was way out there enough that I hope you’ll find it interesting too. As we read in Eph 2: 19-21, Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. At each of our temples, we have cornerstones, with the Southeast being the […]
Wendy Watson Nelson is a BYU Family Therapist. She has been involved with and spoken at many Women’s Conferences, which BYU sponsors. She is married to Elder Russell M. Nelson. Speaking at a Women’s Conference in 2000, she spoke about Celestial Therapy. You can read this great talk here. As I read this talk, I […]
Going to the temple makes the soul feel so good. We had a particularly good session where everyone was helping one another. I love that. The temple workers assure you there is no rush, and everyone is patient and helpful. I also love seeing all the various nationalities represented in the faces of all […]
