An Unspeakable Gift from God
The gift of the Holy Ghost and the influence of the Holy Ghost provides the most powerful influence for learning we can experience. A witness from the Holy Ghost has more power for conversion than anything else. The Holy Ghost is here now helping me to get into the spirit of conference that I have…

I Know It. I Live It. I Love It.
At we willing to boldly own our membership in the Lord’s church? What phrase would I choose to represent my faith? This may be titled “I’m a Mormon: I know it, I live it, I love it.” That is the statement that Sister Dibb would choose.
