This was one of the most buzzed about talks from the last session. It prompted us to do a service activity at Young Women Camp this year.
Practicing Empathy
I think I’ll just sit here
and rest a little bit.
I’ll try to turn my thoughts off
and get a little sleep.
Birthday Road Trip ’16: Mesa Verde
The idea for this year’s road trip came to me a few months earlier. I saw pictures of the cliff ruins in Mesa Verde and wondered where they were located. After looking them up and discovering they were only in southern Colorado I figured I could do that this year. It looked fun.
The next step involved mapping my road trip out. Initially, I thought of doing more of a loop but after certain stressful events occurred a couple weeks prior to my trip, I changed my plans. I’d leave a day earlier and stay at my sisters’ for a day which meant no loop. But it did mean I’d spend my birthday with family and that sounded a lot better than spending it traveling alone anyway. So I left work Thursday and went to the apartment my sisters share in Utah.

Always Remember Him
by Gerrit W. Bong
Years ago, as a newly called ward YW president, I was asked to meet with the incoming Beehives and give each one a personal preview of the YW program.

I Miss My Friend
Hard Tasks
…and, may I add, I’m not expected to do all things by myself. Nowhere does it say that. So, do what you can do and quit beating yourself up for not doing it all.
The Holy Ghost
by Robert D. Hales
In Doctrine and Covenants section 9, we learn from Oliver Cowdery’s example about the gift of the Holy Ghost. “Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.”
Little Sister
Little sister discovered a fun new game. For her.
Hero’s Journey
He Will Place You on His Shoulders and Carry You Home
by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Here is another one of my favorite talks from the last General Conference. I appreciate how President Uchtdorf makes things so clear for me.
One of our wards at our recent Young Woman Camp focused on how we are all both in need of rescue but also rescuers. This is what I thought of as I listened to their wise Bishop counsel the Young Women in his charge.
