Hello Mapleton 26th ward!

As we prepare for General Conference, I’m reminded of what a blessing it is to have living prophets and apostles to guide us.

The Lord taught, “Whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same” (Doctrine and Covenants 1:38).

Conference gives each of us an opportunity to hear the Lord’s voice and receive personal revelation. While we may hear the same messages, the Spirit can teach each of us something different that is specific to our own circumstances and needs.

As you listen this weekend, I invite each member of the ward to prayerfully consider:

What does the Lord want me to hear, and what will I do with that information?

I hope that you will approach Conference with an open heart, listen for the Spirit, and then act on the promptings you receive.

I am grateful for living prophets and apostles and for their testimonies of Jesus Christ. I know that as we follow the Savior and heed His counsel through His prophets, we can find greater peace, strength, and direction in our lives.
