Stake Conference yesterday - We didn't go. Went for a long walk together then mostly just stayed home. Today's Come Follow Me topic is one that I am blessed to enjoy and support.

Come Follow Me 

1 Corinthians 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

"As covenant-keeping women and men, we need to lift each other and help each other become the people the Lord would have us become." Linda K. Burton, Relief Society General President, April 2015

"For anyone to attain the fulness of priesthood blessings, there must be a husband and a wife sealed in the house of the Lord, working together in righteousness and remaining faithful to their covenants. This is the Lord’s plan for His children, and no amount of public discourse or criticism will change what the Lord has declared. We need to continue to model righteous marriages, seek for that blessing in our lives, and have faith if it is slow in coming. Let us be defenders of marriage as the Lord has ordained it while continuing to show love and compassion for those with differing views." Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women General President, April 2015
