Regional Women's Conference
To all those who attended the Women's Conference today... I hope you enjoyed it and learned as much as I did. To those who were unable, for whatever reason, to attend... you really missed out on a GREAT experience. Sis. Beck is truly a disciple of Christ. She is a wonderful person. She taught us more today than I have ever learn at a single meeting in my life. She is so spiritual, humorous, and down to earth. Instead of just giving a "talk", she had a question/answer session where we are able to ask her our own burning questions that would maybe help other sisters in attendance. There was laughter, tears, and every emotion in between. I hope that next time we are given the opportunity to attend something this amazing, more sisters will make it a point to be there.

Visiting Teaching Message August 2009
Seek Education and Lifelong Learning
D&C 93:36–37: “The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth. Light and truth forsake that evil one.”
Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president: “The Lord has told us that our time should ‘be devoted to the studying of the scriptures’ (D&C 26:1) and that ‘the Book of Mormon and the holy scriptures are given … for [our] instruction’ (D&C 33:16). Every woman can be a gospel doctrine instructor in her home, and every sister in the Church needs gospel knowledge as a leader and teacher. If you have not already developed the habit of daily scripture study, start now and keep studying in order to be prepared for your responsibilities in this life and in the eternities” (“My Soul Delighteth in the Scriptures,” Liahona and Ensign, May 2004, 107–8).
Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: “A few of the basic attributes needed to become a lifelong learner are courage, faithful desire, humility, patience, curiosity, and a willingness to communicate and share the knowledge that we gain. …
“My dear sisters, don’t ever sell yourself short as a woman or as a mother. … Do not let the world define, denigrate, or limit your feelings of lifelong learning and the values of motherhood in the home—both here mortally and in the eternal learning and benefits you give to your children and to your companion.
“Lifelong learning is essential to the vitality of the human mind, body, and soul. It enhances self-worth and self-actuation. Lifelong learning is invigorating mentally and is a great defense against aging, depression, and self-doubt” (“The Journey of Lifelong Learning,” in Brigham Young University 2008–2009 Speeches [2009], 2, 8–9).
