In a stirring address, President Russell M. Nelson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, reaffirmed a profound truth: the answer to life’s challenges, questions, and uncertainties is found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. His message invites all to draw closer to the Savior, embrace His atoning sacrifice, and access the healing power He offers. Delivered with Easter approaching, this address underscores the centrality of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith.

Summary
President Nelson began by reflecting on the spiritually enriching messages shared at the conference, highlighting the importance of seeking the guidance of the Holy Ghost to internalize these divine truths. He reminded listeners that Easter celebrates the Savior's Atonement and Resurrection, which make repentance, forgiveness, and eternal life possible.

He emphasized the importance of studying sacred scriptural accounts, including the Savior’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His suffering, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and appearances to His followers. President Nelson also urged reflection on Jesus Christ’s appearance to the Nephites in the Americas, pointing to His plea for repentance and His promise of mercy and healing.

Reinforcing the message that Jesus Christ is the answer to all of life’s struggles, President Nelson extended an invitation to “come unto Him” and allow His love and mercy to heal wounds of sin, sadness, and fear. He concluded by linking temple worship to the Savior, emphasizing how temple covenants and ordinances bring unparalleled blessings and draw individuals closer to Christ.

Lessons from the story of Zeezrom (Alma 15)

Sometimes we feel that our sins are so great that we can't be forgiven. Such was Zeezrom's case. He felt his opposition to the Church had led to the death of Alma and Amulek and others. However, even in his situation, his faith in Christ was enough that he was forgiven and also healed. See Alma 15 < http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/15 >. 5 and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom; and they found him upon his bed, sick, being very low with a burning fever; and his mind also was exceedingly sore because of his iniquities; and when he saw them he stretched forth his hand, and besought them that they would heal him. 6 And it came to pass that Alma said unto him, taking him by the hand: Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation? 7 And he answered and said: Yea, I believe all the words that thou hast taught. 8 And Alma said: If thou believest in the redemption of Christ thou canst be healed. 9 And he said: Yea, I believe according to thy words. 10 And then A...

Lessons of the past prepare us to face the challenges of the future

Apostle Tom Perry said in October 2009 conference "Lessons of the past prepare us to face the challenges of the future." As we raise our children and chart our own courses we need to learn from past mistakes, choose models to follow, build on traditions, and set high expectations. An important person in the raising of my children was their grandfather who moved to Edmonton after my mother died – Melanie was sick during her pregnancy with Annelise and their grandfather came to take care of the other children. In his retirement he wrote family history "Them of the Last Wagon" and "Faithful Generation" and researched and found thousands of family names for genealogy. He also raised horses. Elder Packer said, "I have horses not because I raise horses.  I have horses because I'm raising children." Every summer my children spent riding horses with their grandfather. Their grandfather learned horsemanship from his father.  His father...
