Two talks, given by Elder Scott and Elder Ashton made me think of what\u2019s happening in our day, as all conference talks often do. Specifically, the fears we experience. But then, I read Pres. Hinckley\u2019s talk on the resurrection, and suddenly everything else faded away.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Richard G. Scott\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/1988\/04\/to-help-a-loved-one-in-need?lang=eng\">To Help a Loved One in Need<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He reminded me about our friends and family who are struggling today because of the uncertainties around us, his talk made me wonder how many people are fulfilling their ministering roles with real intent. While all of us are struggling and wondering, and perhaps even worried about the future, are we at the same time feeling concern for our brothers and sisters we have been asked to minister to?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Call or text your ministering families today and just ask how they\u2019re doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Marvin J. Ashton\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/1988\/04\/while-they-are-waiting?lang=eng\">While They Are Waiting<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This talk focused on fellowshipping excommunicated friends and family. This really involves everyone who needs opportunities to stay involved, so it\u2019s easier for all of us to get back into a fold that never left us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While we\u2019re in quarantine, isolation is becoming a terrible excluder. Thinking about those who are excommunicated, semi-active, or simply shy, are we reaching out enough that everyone feels checked up on, cared about, not forgotten? What is it going to be like in church when everyone comes back together? What feelings will we feel when we have felt so left-out and isolated during this long time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My husband and I have had these conversations lately as we ourselves feel kind of left out of everyone else\u2019s loop. We don\u2019t even know if there is a loop to be left out of, or if everyone else feels the same way. Guess it\u2019s time to go make some phone calls\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But, when it comes to losing hope and letting the depression overwhelm us, I read Pres. Hinckley\u2019s talk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Gordon B. Hinckley\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/1988\/04\/the-empty-tomb-bore-testimony?lang=eng\">The Empty Tomb Bore Testimony<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As mortals, it is typical to fear death and the unknown. But as members of the church, we understand more about death, and what comes after, because of what has been revealed to us. With our understanding of death, we should not fear it. What we should fear is the separation from our families and those we truly love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In this talk, Pres. Hinckley introduces a poem he wrote as he prepared to speak at the funeral of a dear friend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/youtu.be\/1D1dRZoxg0I?t=17\">http:\/\/https:\/\/youtu.be\/1D1dRZoxg0I?t=17<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I repeat the final verse:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 240px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>There is no death, but only change<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 240px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>With recompense for victory won;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 240px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>The gift of Him who loved all men,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 240px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><em>The Son of God, the Holy One.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Because of Jesus Christ, who must have felt alone much of His life, we will rise again. This hope is overwhelming in its promise. But even more glorious, is that if we use our time well on this earth by serving others\u2014in His name\u2014thereby remembering Him always, we will never be alone or forgotten again. We can be with our families forever, surrounded in love, acceptance, friendship, and eternal joy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So, as we continue to endure this pandemic, let\u2019s find ways to reach out as we seek to overthrow our own fears. As you do, your fears will melt away and you will feel the \u201cgift of Him who loved all men.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the April 1988 Sunday morning session of conference, I actually felt torn as to what to write about.
