General conference may have come and gone, but this week three Apostles spoke from the pulpit: Elder Quentin L. Cook, Elder Gary E. Stevenson, and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland.
Both Elder Cook and Elder Stevenson offered counsel to students graduating from Ensign College and BYU–Idaho, respectively. And in a worldwide missionary devotional, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke about how every missionary companionship should be a threesome with the third companion being the Holy Ghost.

The April 2021 General Conference held messages of spiritual revival, to look to Christ for strength and confirmation of gospel principles, said members of the BYU–Hawaii ohana.
They said even if they have to wake up as early as 5:30 a.m. to watch it live, they do, and it doesn’t minimize conference’s personal impact.
Every six months, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gather for general conference. Perry Christensen, an associate professor in the Faculty of Education and Social Work, said conference is a spiritual revival because it increases his testimony that the Lord is leading His Church and watching over it.

Everyone wants to be part of a story. Isolation, pandemic-induced or otherwise, has created an incredible sense of disconnect. Individuals across the globe are starving to be interconnected with something a little bigger and little greater than themselves. In short, people around the world are longing for belonging.
RootsTech Family Discovery Day has looked very similar for years thousands of eyes on the massive stage at the Salt Palace, a beloved Church leader or leaders sharing an inspiring message, and a broadcast enabling those not in attendance physically to experience a taste of connection.
But in 2021, Family Discovery Day looked different. The in-person audience for Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s and Sister Patricia Holland’s remarks was small. But the members of that audience included those who are most important to the Hollands their own children.
The backdrop of Family Discovery Day is southern Utah, and through video, photographs, and a tour around St. George, we see places and hear memories that shaped the family.
