Notes from Women's Conference
Did you miss Women's Conference? Sister Jackie Riley has shared her notes from Sister Elaine Dalton's comments on What Would a Holy Woman Do?
• Ask HARD Questions
• Ask questions with the intent to ACT!
• Think of yourself as a HOLY WOMAN already….You are one
• If you feel you are not HOLY then utilize the Atonement and YOU WILL BE A HOLY WOMAN again
• Each of us are ELECT – not ordinary
• We had exceeding faith – that is why we came on earth to live
• Each of us are here in this day to change the world
• We must PRESS FORWARD
• We’re all going to experience resistance
• We have an EDGE – it is the constant companionship of the HOLY GHOST
• The Lord is absolutely in the details of our lives
• From the Hymn…..More fit for the kingdom -- we must strive to be
• FAITH is a POWER!
• TESTIMONY is a POWER!
• VIRTUE is a POWER….
• The HOLINESS is a POWER!
• Stand ye in holy places and be not moved
• D&C 88 – establish a house of order, faith, fasting, prayer, a HOUSE OF GOD
• The Spirit cannot dwell in unholy places
• Covenants are the vehicle that makes us holy
• There are angels round about you as you attend the temple
• The TEMPLE is in the center of our lives
• Doctrine & Covenants 46 – we have the ability to receive Spiritual Gifts
• We have the gift of DISCERNMENT
• We have the gift of UNDERSTANDING
• Your purity and light shines from within you
• We are living below our privileges –Eliza R. Snow
• Your Patriarchal Blessing tells you of individual gifts
• If you keep your covenants – parents your children who have gone astray will one day come back to the fold

• We need your strength, conversion, conviction, your voice
• Women in the church must be distinct and different
• We need women who are organized and who can organize
• We need women who receive revelation
• We need women who are covenant keepers
• Awake and arise as is explained in Moroni
• Lay hold on every good gift
• Covet the BEST GIFTS! The scriptures teach us we should
• HAPPY WAYS are HOLY WAYS

Love One Another -- 14 Day Challenge
Love is in the air. Well, maybe not for you. But it could be.
With the appearance of heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, cupid candies, valentine cards, and lovey-dovey stuffed animals on store shelves across America, it’s clear that in the United States, there is a definite commercialization of love during the month of February.
But love isn’t confined to a month. Love is not dependent on relationship status. In fact, it’s not about one day. It’s about every day.
In the words of our loving prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, “Love is the very essence of the gospel, and Jesus Christ is our Exemplar.”
If we want to be better followers of Him, we need to be more. We need to LOVE more.
To focus on the essence of the gospel and ensure that “love is the air,” we invite you to participate in our 14-day challenge to love one another.
