To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
We are all well aware of the charge we have all been given to spread the gospel across the earthly world, as well as the spirit world. But do we know why? Why is family history work so important? Maybe a better question is what is my personal experience in understanding the importance of Family History? […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1982. The other day, my husband and I were doing sealings when the sealer asked us what “rites” are. Ever since I’ve been thinking about what our “rites” and “privileges” are in this church. And I feel like the talks in […]
A few thoughts have been going around in my head recently. First, is the concern I’ve seen from sisters that there isn’t more of a feeling of unity within their Relief Societies. Second, hearing comments about Pres. and Sis. Oaks’ recent counsel to young marrieds in Chicago. Third, I’ve started reading Daughters in My Kingdom, […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Priesthood session of October 1982. In this session, a bishop and his assistant, from Ohio, were asked to speak. Unusual circumstances, to say the least. The bishop listed some important qualifications meant for young men to fulfill their duties in the Aaronic Priesthood. But reading these […]
As we fix ourselves to accomplish the Come Follow Me program in our homes and in our personal lives, It makes me think about Alma 31:5, and what it might be like to really be changed just by reading, hearing, living, and teaching the word of God. “And now, as the preaching of the word […]

Linda Kjar Burton was born and raised in the church. When she was a teenager, her parents were called to serve as Mission President in New Zealand. In college, she studied Elementary Education and married her husband in the Salt Lake Temple on August 7, 1973. She stayed at home, raising their six children over […]
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Saturday afternoon session of October 1982. In this session, I am pulling out three of the talks: “Run, Boy, Run!” by Thomas S. Monson, “LDS Hymns—Worshiping with Song” by Franklin D. Richards, and “The Seven Christs” by Bruce R. McConkie. As I was trying to come up with […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is on the Saturday morning session of October 1982. After reading this week’s session of talks I went to Sacrament meeting and listened to the speaker quote from this very talk. Of all things!! The talk I’d like to focus on today is David B. Haight’s talk, “Love All.” We hear […]
