"We thank thee o God for a Prophet!"
We are so grateful to have had the chance to learn from our Prophet and the apostles during General Conference this Easter weekend.
We invite you to ponder on what the spirit spoke to you during this time. Now is a great time to reflect, to revisit the talks, and to journal your personal revelation.
What talk stood out to you? We would love to hear your thoughts!
Quote from lyrics written by William Fowler in song "We thank thee o God for a Prophet."

Dallin H. Oaks, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shared the following message on Church social media channels on Monday, September 29, 2025.

“Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. Millions of us are mourning the passing of our beloved Prophet and President, Russell M. Nelson. He was a dear friend and a cherished leader. His timeless teachings continue to guide us and help us find comfort amid suffering, especially in the wake of the recent violence aimed at members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan this past Sunday.

“The awful tragedy that took place in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on September 28, reminds us of our sacred responsibilities as followers of Jesus Christ. We mourn with our members who have lost loved ones, and we join in prayer for comfort with others around the world who are suffering from similar tragedies. We all seek answers and understanding in the wake of trauma, shock, and grief. We are grateful to all who are reaching out with service, prayers, and words of support during this difficult time.

“May we all remember the truth that each of us is a beloved child of God. Our Savior Jesus Christ, through His infinite Atonement, overcame death and gives us the joyful assurance that each of us will be gloriously resurrected. On behalf of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I extend this expression to the family and friends of those affected by this recent tragedy and all others who may be experiencing loss and heartache at this time.”

In moments of sorrow and uncertainty, we find strength and comfort through our faith in Jesus Christ. Places of worship are meant to be sanctuaries of peacemaking, prayer and connection.

Member Highlight!

Suzanne Davis of the Mountain Home Ward had this to share when contemplating about President Nelson.

"So many things I've taken in and learned from Pres. Nelson but a couple come to mind:

To think Celestial - helps me to blot out all the evil, unsolvable, pettiness in the world and remind myself of the Temple covenants I have made.

Even when everything around you is in chaos; you can still be centered on our Savior and His plan for us.

I have had those two thoughts and many, many more come to my mind to refocus my mind and heart. Thank God for Pres. Nelson, a true living prophet of God in these last days and extending his life and vitality as proof of the power of God."

We invite you to ponder the teachings of President Nelson and how modern day revelation has affected your lives. We look forward to hearing from him again during this October's General Conference starting Saturday October 4th.
