My Wintertime Visit of Adam-ondi-Ahman

Last updated on: March 2, 2026 at 12:10 pm   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

A planned side trip a few weeks ago found me again at Adam-ondi-Ahman, a most holy place for me.  Adam-ondi-Ahman is one of my soul’s very favorite places to be. I’d never been there during wintertime. I had a couple of hours to wander the snowy trails through the timber and took full advantage of the opportunity. The frozen river made Wight’s Ferry on the Grand River memorable. The overlooks looked incredible under the cold, winter sun. As I wandered... Read more

Waiting on the Lord | Desirée Johnson

Last updated on: February 28, 2026 at 5:49 pm   By Delisa Hargrove

I’ve had a couple of mighty challenges lately and have struggled to find words while waiting on the Lord.  My sister, Desirée Johnson, recently shared a powerful witness that quiet and loud waiting on the Lord produces.  Her words are compelling, and I’m grateful she let me share them here. Desirée Johnson’s Waiting on the Lord When Asher was an energetic toddler, it was very surprising how still and quiet he became when buckled into the car. We could drive... Read more

God’s Colorful Highways

Last updated on: January 9, 2026 at 3:16 pm   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

I’ve always been fascinated by God’s colorful highways, stones, and cities. For several years, I’ve been trying to let God out of the box I’d made for Him. I do not want to miss Him as the Pharisees did when Jesus walked among them. How could my visual expectations formed from reading the scriptures through my limited lens be completely correct? I prayed to have my vision expanded, to more fully comprehend God. The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth... Read more

The Fulfillment of the Prophecy in 3 Nephi 16:10

Last updated on: November 19, 2025 at 11:16 am   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

While studying 3 Nephi 16:10, I found a fascinating statement by Orson Pratt about the prophecy in the verse being fulfilled to “the very letter.” 3 Nephi 16:10 And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be... Read more

Fulfillment of Beatitude Promises for Nephites in 3 Nephi

Last updated on: November 19, 2025 at 11:06 am   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

Jesus Christ succinctly shared the Beatitude blessings of the covenant path in Matthew 5-7 and 3 Nephi 12-16. Fulfillment of the Beatitudes’ promises seems to occur later—after death or the Savior’s Second Coming.  The record of 3 Nephi demonstrates that the people at the temple in Bountiful actually received fulfillment of the Beatitudes’ blessings during their mortal lives. Below are the Beatitudes’ promises in 3 Nephi and a passage representing (to me) the fulfillment of those promises. More “fulfillment” verses... Read more

Dallin H. Oaks Conference Talks & Devotionals from 2025-1984

Last updated on: October 25, 2025 at 7:54 pm   By Delisa Hargrove

Dallin H. Oaks became the 18th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 14, 2025.  To review some of his main speaking points, I decided to review his general conference talks. I had several topics pegged as “usual subjects” for Dallin H. Oaks. Looking back over his talks, I happily discovered an unexpected breadth of topics. President Dallin H. Oaks seemed to speak most often about the plan of salvation and its application in mortality... Read more

He will prepare a way for our deliverance from destruction

Last updated on: October 25, 2025 at 11:56 am   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

The Book of Mormon begins with rapid-fire stories of the Lord commanding His servants to act and the results of their actions. Nephi testified that the Lord gave commandments after preparing the way for them to be accomplished (1 Nephi 3:7). By 1 Nephi 17, the Lord led Nephi and his family out of danger, and they had been in the wilderness for eight years, being directed towards a promised land. In his retelling of their experience, Nephi pauses—or I... Read more

For a Moose sighting go to where Moose are at the right time

Last updated on: October 6, 2025 at 10:15 am   By Delisa Hargrove

At age 54, I had never experienced a moose sighting!  I’ve driven Canadian highways scanning for moose.  I drove up and down the northeastern parts United States, hoping to catch a glimpse in Maine, even stopping for dinner one and overhearing tales of travelers who’d just seen moose on the road. I lived in Utah and scoured mountainous canyons for one moose sighting.  It never happened. Contrast my fruitless searching to my brother-in-law, who saw moose, it seemed, every time... Read more

Russell M. Nelson: Know Jesus Christ & Receive His Blessings

Last updated on: October 1, 2025 at 3:08 pm   By Delisa Hargrove

Russell M. Nelson, our dear friend—because he was such a dear friend to all—graduated from mortality on September 27, 2025.  Like millions of my fellow members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I reflected on the life of this prophet of God and how his ministry impacted me personally. I shook the hand of then Elder Russell M. Nelson after one of his discourses at Brigham Young University.  While I attended BYU, I made a goal to... Read more
