| Senior Mission

It’s hard to believe, but we arrived at our “hump day” last week. That’s missionary talk for halfway point when serving a mission. We have nine more months to go. Serving a senior mission is one of the best kept secrets in our church, for some reason. And I’m not sure we share this secret […]

Am I My Sister’s Keeper? Yes! Story #1 Some time ago, a friend told me that once she put her missionary badge on, she felt empowered to speak up boldly. This was something she hadn’t ever been able to do before. One day, while checking out at the store, she decided to visit with the […]

| Women of God

What does modesty have to do with missionary work, you ask? During the summer months, we always run into the problem of underdressing. But those of us who have gone to the temple, to make important covenants with the Lord, walk out of the temple with an important, and constant, reminder: our temple garments. And […]

We know the Lord is coming soon and the prophet has asked us to help Him gather Israel like never before. We are all called to the work of hastening the gathering. Joseph Smith learned early on that he was to lead the final dispensation. There must have been a lot of pressure on his […]

This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the April 1981 Sunday afternoon session. With General Conference coming, we might reflect, once again, upon how we will react to the work we have all been called to do and will be reminded of. What is our errand in the work of the Lord? Back in […]

A General Conference Odyssey post on the Saturday morning session of April 1981. The Brethren are conducting “Special Stake Conferences,” where our leaders can cover better the 3500+ stakes in the church.

It’s a new year! That means it’s time to evaluate where we stand and continue challenging ourselves to move forward along the path toward exaltation. Can you believe how Satan is working overtime?

When the Church was first restored, Joseph spoke to everyone he met about the Book of Mormon and the gospel. With all that he was learning at the time he must have been so excited to share it all. First, individuals listened to him, then they would bring their families, because they were excited to […]
