Congratulations to Becky Wickstrom for receiving the Department of Workforce Services Cornerstone Award for community connection! Becky made outstanding contributions to major events including World Refugee Day and the Capitol Citizenship Ceremony.
Against all odds, Jesus of Nazareth, the living Son of the living God, restored physical life where death had held sway and brought joyful, spiritual redemption out of sin, hellish darkness, and despair.
One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.
This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” (Mosiah 18:9) for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone. #BecauseofHim
In a world eager to win arguments, be the one who seeks to understand.
Peace follows understanding, not victory.
The greatest legacy we can leave is not wealth or fame, but a trail of peace that shapes the future.
Even on the tough days, never lose sight of Jesus Christ. Never lose sight of Gethsemane. I promise that as you keep your focus on the Savior and what He did for you and for me, your burdens will be lifted and He will help you.
"In all we do, we put Jesus Christ first. As a matter of priority, we put Jesus Christ first among the things we do. As a matter of focus, we put Jesus Christ first in each thing we do."" - Elder Gong

"As we trust God, we step off this world's perfectionist treadmill and its siren song that we are inadequate, never good enough. As we trust God, we find peace, hope, and a way forward. What we do has consequence. God cares about what we do." - Elder Gong

"For each of us, connection and transformation are at the heart of our own best story. Covenant belonging connects us with the most transformative relationships of our lives—including with God, each other, and our best selves." - Elder Gong

“Ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise” (Moroni 7:41).
We believe in Jesus Christ. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we worship Him and follow His teachings in the scriptures. We can hear Him through studying the words He spoke. #GeneralConference

“When our Savior Jesus Christ looks upon us, He sees and understands the pain and burden of our sins. He sees our addictions and challenges. He sees our struggles and afflictions of any kind—and He is filled with compassion toward us.” — Elder Peter F. Meurs #GeneralConference
The Savior lives, and He leads The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have felt His love in my life and His love and concern for Heavenly Father’s children. The invitation to come to Him is an offer of peace. #GeneralConference
