Bluffdale Stake Women’s Conference
The two-day women’s conference in the Bluffdale Stake focused on finding peace in Christ and was inspired by this teaching of Jesus Christ:
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” – John 14:27
Sisters gathered on October 19 to listen to Jen Spencer, creator and founder of “The Turtle Shelter Project,” and then participated in a service project to make insulated vests for the homeless and others in need.
On Sunday, Relief Society President Sharlynn Carter shared how she has found peace in Christ and focused on where we can turn for peace – Jesus Christ. She then introduced Maria Eckersley, KSL Studio 5 Contributor, podcast host, and author, as the concluding speaker of the conference.
Sister Eckersley talked about how reflecting on and studying the plan of salvation can bring us peace. Besides answering the big questions like, “Where did I come from? Where am I going? And why am I here” she said the plan of salvation can help us navigate all of the hard questions and experiences that happen in the middle.
Drawing from examples in Moses’ life through her study of the scriptures, Sister Eckersley focused her talk on showing how the plan of salvation can answer these five questions:
- Do I matter?
- Does He speak to me?
- Am I still loved?
- Is it too late?
- Is it worth it?
Her insights are inspiring and can help you receive the motivation you need to keep pushing forward and finding the hope, peace, and joy the plan of salvation in the gospel of Jesus Christ can provide.
