General Conference 2015

Elise and I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Sunday Afternoon session of General Conference this October! It was such a neat experience and the speakers delivered amazing talks.

I know that we have a prophet and apostles today who lead and guide us. They speak words of comfort, peace, and direction that we need to hear, and if we head their counsel we will be blessed. 

One of my favorite quotes from the talks given that weekend was from Sister Carole M. Stevens. She said, 

"God never loses sight of our potential, even when we do."

Because He Lives - Easter 2015

Easter. It's one of those holidays that sneaks up on you! 

For most people, childhood Easters are memories filled with white fluffy bunnies, colorful eggs stuffed with delicious candy, and the long-awaited Easter dinner. Girls plan their Easter outfits, complete with pretty pastel dresses and shining white shoes, while the boys make their final strategies for the Egg hunt. For me, these are some of my fondest holiday memories!

Unfortunately, the main reason for this beloved holiday is sometimes suffocated behind the candy and eggs. 

I am grateful to have my childhood memories also be filled with an amazing message.

The wonderful, peace-filled message of the Savior and His Atonement. 

Every Easter, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints releases a short (but oh-so powerful!) video on the Savior. 

I am completely amazed at the simplicity of the message this year's video holds. 

It is comforting. It is powerful. It is the message of the Savior's resurrection.
