Young, Single, and Pregnant–Follow the Prophet

Last updated on: October 23, 2018 at 12:01 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Traversing this mortal journey isn’t easy. I admire the real, honest experiences people share that testify that the Lord provides guideposts to help us along our journey and ways to find and follow those guideposts. For this friend, Sha-Lei Kamauu, the guideposts that helped her during this particular experience were the words of living prophets. She searched for an answer to her concern, felt the truth of the prophets’ words, and followed the guidance, finding peace and joy on her... Read more

President Nelson’s Promise-To See and Be Seen

Last updated on: October 13, 2018 at 2:48 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Among several challenges, President Russell M. Nelson challenged the women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to read the Book of Mormon, noting all verses describing Jesus Christ, His characteristics and mission, and to establish a regular temple attendance habit. He made significant promises if we took the challenge. As part of his Book of Mormon reading challenge, he promised, And, as you prayerfully study, I promise that the heavens will open for you. The Lord will... Read more

Gratitude for the Canvas of God’s Grace

Last updated on: October 10, 2018 at 10:10 am By Delisa Hargrove

Sunbursts through clouds over the ocean delighted me. My husband, parents, and I sat perfectly situated to watch the canvas of God’s grace. Colors burst across the sky. Hues changed dramatically as the sun fell towards the horizon. But while the source of light disappeared in a matter of minutes, its impact lingered. I bounced out of my seat to capture the scene from every available angle. My heart sang Hillsong United’s I can see Your heart in everything You... Read more

I Will Magnify Thee

Last updated on: October 6, 2018 at 2:38 pm By Delisa Hargrove

“[P]rove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” General Conference has always felt like a weekend of revelation. But now, it feels like a firehose opens and every talk substantially applies specifically to me. New announcements breathe life into past the revelatory changes that became ordinary. Watching specifically for new directions keeps me engaged and tuned in to every word. I am partaking of the... Read more

Family History-Try It For Yourself

Last updated on: October 5, 2018 at 2:33 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I loved this engaging teenager’s talk on family history and thought you would, too. From Jesse Welling. Brothers and sisters, buenos dias and aloha! My name is Jesse Welling and after six weeks of preparation, I can now fluently say good morning in Spanish. In case you missed the announcement, or had better things to do, I will be leaving to serve a mission in Guayaquil, Ecuador, around Halloween. I couldn’t ask for a more loving or supportive ward as... Read more

Porta Potty Prank Lessons

Last updated on: September 29, 2018 at 6:26 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I’m not a huge fan of practical jokes after one of my teenage practical pranks went sideways and I really hurt a best friends’ feelings. But this porta potty prank caused me to analyze some of the basic social premises hardwired into my system. The Classic Porta Potty Prank The line of girls and leaders waiting to use a porta potty wrapped up the dirt road to camp. Five porta potties were available, why was the line so long? Shanna...

“The Worst Time of Our (My) Life”

Last updated on: September 28, 2018 at 1:31 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I met Peter Zimmerman in high school. It feels like we took most of the same classes our junior and senior years. My memories of Peter are of bright, witty banter, engaging class discussions, and a similar moral compass. He had a gift of helping everyone to not only feel included but to belong. I feel fortunate to have reconnected with this friend on social media and see how those impactful talents are still in use today! Peter has worked... Read more

We’re All Going to Do Headstands–A Mindful Present

Last updated on: September 19, 2018 at 4:20 pm By Delisa Hargrove

“Now, we’re all going to do headstands.” The faces of my bleary-eyed seminary students were priceless. WHAT? After watching my seminary students for the past two months, I concluded that most struggled with stillness and being present. I struggle that way, too, sometimes, as most of my teachers over the past 47 years can attest. I’d asked Tasha to come to seminary to share ideas about mindfulness and pondering. She owns Yoga4Ewa, a yoga studio in our community, and mindfulness... Read more

A Modern Purpose for the Sword of Laban

Doctrine and Covenants 17:1 discusses the items viewable to the Three Witnesses. Behold, I say unto you, that you must rely upon my word, which if you do with full purpose of heart, you shall have a view of the plates, and also of the breastplate, the sword of Laban, the Urim and Thummim, which were given to the brother of Jared upon the mount, when he talked with the Lord face to face, and the miraculous directors which were given to Lehi while in the wilderness, on the borders of...
