General Conference thoughts: All Must Take upon Them the Name Given of the Father
by Elder Paul B. Pieper
As it often happens, there is a subtle lesson in life in which the meaning or significance has become tainted or lost. We no longer recognize the symbolism. Instead, it has become largely misunderstood. I’m referring to a bride taking the name of her husband at marriage and becoming known under his family tree. Continue reading
You’re Going the Wrong Way!
Thanksgiving morning the clouds threatened snow but no moisture dropped yet. The temperature hovered in the mid-thirties (Fahrenheit) so I decided to brave it and sneak out for a quick walk. Continue reading

by Elder D. Todd Christofferson
and Elder Gerrit W. Gong
This morning I read the account of the people of Alma living in the land of Helam. They had broken apart from the people of King Noah and joined in covenant to live the law of the Lord. They were free, industrious, and happy. But then the Lamanites found them and they were forced to live in bondage. While in bondage their taskmasters were severe and made life difficult for them. The Lord strengthened them so that they could endure their trials and eventually they were delivered from bondage and joined King Mosiah in the land of Zarahemla. (Mosiah 23-24) Continue reading
