To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
As I read through these conference talks, the predominant messages seem to be to follow and obey the prophet, recognizing that he is called of God and to take care of our homes and families so the gospel can be preached to all generations. Is it my imagination that these are the very […]
Being the week of Thanksgiving, I would like to express my thanks for the words of these prophets. It has been satisfying to my spirit to read words that I know come from my Savior, that He wants me to hear. We can’t remember everything, always, so reading through these talks gives me a chance […]
While reading Elder Hartman Rector, Jr.’s talk, “The Strength of Testimony,” I decided I wanted to look up all the talks, over the years, that are on the subject of testimony. There are many! I happened on a talk, given by Pres. James E. Faust called, “A Growing Testimony,” in Jan. 2001 that raised a […]
After reading this session of conference (April 1974, Sunday morning), I learned something that makes me see revelation differently. Revelation is holding the hand of God. We have prayer and faith and ordinances and all parts of this mighty gospel as various ways of connecting with our loving Heavenly Father, but I think revelation is where […]
I look forward to each Priesthood session of conference with its profound advice and counsel given to the members of the church. Yes, I said members–both male and female.

How do we hold on to The Standard of Truth? By participating fully in a Solemn Assembly. Our day is full of progressive thoughts that catch the average family off balance. Compromise, modification, and acceptance are forcing us to judge, or not judge, a given situation that expressly touches and influences our lives and […]
Here is the truth, once again revealed to us. The April 1974 Friday afternoon session of conference has some truly earth-shattering advice and information for us. I continue to be astounded at the prophecies we have been given, and that our day benefits so specifically with those words spoken so long ago. There is […]
Several years have gone by since I’ve sat in the Conference Center to listen to General Conference live, so my husband and I decided to go and sit among saints, alive with faithful energy. We were surrounded by excited members, first-time attendees, people who wanted to be there and were eager to write their impressions […]
April 1974 Friday morning session I loved listening to the Women’s session of conference the other night because they spoke with such boldness. Our leaders are speaking to us boldly, more and more, it seems, well … so I thought. I’m learning, as I read earlier conference addresses, that our leaders have always spoken boldly to […]
