I am excited to get started sharing this conference with each of you. As I look over the past blog’s and see that each of you try and want to lift one another and help each other in any way that you can my heart is full of thanks to Heavenly Father. As I read through a few of them I did so with tears in my eyes. I love each of you so much and desire the Lord’s spirit to be with you and to guide you in all that you do.

These are our prophet’s opening words to the church.

Circumstances change, but our message does not change. We bear testimony to the world that the heavens have been opened, that God, our Eternal Father, and His Son, the risen Lord, have appeared and spoken. We offer our solemn witness that the priesthood has been restored with the keys and authority of eternal blessings.

The Lord is richly blessing His Church, and our duty is to do all we can to move it forward.

My prayer for each of us is that we can work a little harder this next 6 months between conferences to stand a little taller in His kingdom; to reach a little higher for opportunities to share His truth with everyone; to spend more time each week on things that are eternal in nature. May God bless each of us as we try to stay the course that leads to eternal joy? I pray daily that each of us can overcome the evil one. Know that Mom and I love each of you and your families with all our hearts.
