To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Spiritual Confidence This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 2009 Saturday morning session of General Conference. President Nelson’s most recent invitation to us, after already giving us more invitations than any prophet since Joseph Smith, is to “take intentional steps to grow in your confidence before the Lord.” We might automatically […]
As Elder Soares stated a year ago, now more than ever before we must seek confidence in our covenants. This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the April 2025 General Conference. Our prophet, seer, and revelator, President Russell M. Nelson, is diligently preparing us for our Savior’s coming. He focuses on helping us see […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Saturday morning session of the April 2009 General Conference. I was talking to someone the other day about how it’s so easy to take for granted being a member of the church. The truth of the matter is that many of us do assume a lot […]
President Hinckley closed the conference, in April 1990, with the positive challenge to make resolutions to live better lives and come unto Jesus Christ.

There was an interesting discussion, at the Church History Symposium, about women and the priesthood. It is well known that in the beginnings of the Restored Church, women used the priesthood to bless one another, wash and anoint one another, and use gifts of the Spirit freely. The records prove that this was common […]
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 […]
Sister Linda K. Burton spoke, at the General Women’s Meeting, on being spiritually prepared to receive temple blessings. Mentioning the story of the Nephites and how they were “prepared…in a manner which never had been known” (Alma 49:8), what does that mean for us?
