One time while on my mission, my companion and I spent some down time tracting. That’s probably the image most people think of when they think of “Mormons” – the door to door visits by missionaries. It’s not the most effective use of time but at least it’s not idling precious time away. Very little good tends to come from it except for the chance to meet a variety of people. Continue reading

In short, keep holding on. Don’t be deceived. Keep your focus on Christ. Continue reading

Let me sum this one up quickly. This is what a testimony will do to you and for you. A testimony will prompt you to do good things. Continue reading

Another reason to draw nearer to Christ by study and applying His teachings. This goes against everything the modern philosophers will teach.

Another combination of talks. The reason I combined these two talks is for the simple reason they give us a formula to find peace. In our day of commotion, peace is still a gift offered and here are a couple of practical solutions to find it. Continue reading

I wondered what I could write as a blurb for these two talks. I will defer to an earlier post I wrote about the subject. At least, it seemed like a good fit to me. Continue reading
by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
This was President Uchtdorf’s talk during the Priesthood session but the first half felt like it was directed toward me. To be honest, I have been in a shadow for some time now and I have been wondering how long to keep doing the things I have been doing. I have been waiting for my earth to rotate into the path of the sun again. But it seems like a long time coming. Continue reading
by Elder Richard J. Maynes and Elder Stanley G. Ellis
Another combination but really this one is pretty seamless. It really is almost one talk in two parts (and two speakers). It’s hard to believe it wasn’t planned. Continue reading
