Next month, I am riding 100 miles in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Right now, 15,000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in the United States, and 38 kids die every week.
Please support my challenge:

One of the virtues I have seen President Russell M. Nelson portray unfailingly is his genuine, heartfelt kindness, which has often led him to leave the ninety and nine to go after the one. I think he must be the kindest man I have ever been associated with—and I have worked with a lot of good people!
In the more than 40 years I have known him, I cannot think of a time that he was unkind, abrupt, rude, or insensitive. It just isn’t in his nature.
I genuinely believe that Russell M. Nelson may be the man for whom the word “gentleman” was created. As we strive to follow the Savior, let us follow the example of President @NelsonRussellM’s Christlike character. #99plus1
“Trials, challenges, and heartache will surely come to all of us. None of us are immune from ‘thorn[s] [of] the flesh’ [2 Corinthians 12:7]. Yet, as we attend the temple and remember our covenants, we can prepare to receive personal direction from the Lord.” — President @EyringHB #GeneralConference
“Against that backdrop of Christ’s victory over death and His recent gift to me of a few more weeks or months in mortality. I bear solemn witness of the reality of eternal life and the need for us to be serious in our planning for it.” — President @hollandjeffreyr #GeneralConference
“How does one use the Atonement of Jesus Christ in their life?”
I was asked this important question during an Instagram Live, and I hope my thoughts are helpful as we all strive to better understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
The Kirtland Temple is special and significant because of the sacred events that occurred here—most importantly the Savior’s appearance to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in 1836.
We are all very excited and express our gratitude that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was able to acquire the Kirtland Temple and other important entities. It is another step in a long line of similar events to connect us with the early history of the Church.
Recently I had the opportunity to be in some of these properties for a leadership conference. As we met in the Kirtland Temple with stake, mission, and temple presidents, I was reminded that Joseph Smith once held all of these responsibilities at the same time—right there in Kirtland. I pondered about the divine guidance the Saints received during these difficult times of the restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Today we may continue to rely on divine intervention to move the work forward individually and as His people. I testify that we can rely on Jesus Christ. He is faithful. The Lord also relies on each of us in our daily efforts to strengthen and build the kingdom of God. He trusts you and me to represent Him in our endeavors wherever we are and in whatever circumstances we may be in.
Heavenly Father is always there for us, and His influence and help are always available. Jesus Christ, the Savior, is on our side. He invites us to come unto Him. As he did with the Saints in Kirtland, He will help us to live a joyful life even under challenging circumstances today.
