61 (4/8/24) General Conference

 61 (4/8/24)

General Conference


It was wonderful and inspiring  to have another General Conference. Mama and I feel so grateful that all of you make this time a priority in your lives.  What a blessing it is to each of us. Can you imagine navigating life without this regular counsel from prophets, seers, and revelators. I know that I can’t. Conference emphasizes the importance and role of prophets, giving us the opportunity to hear the mind and will of God regularly. 

  • Think about how this guidance has directed your life personally. I know for me without this regular guidance and warning, I would be much less inclined to “think spiritually”. My understanding of the temple, and my associated covenants would be less forefront in my mind. I would feel further away from my Heavenly Father, therefore making my prayers less earnest. I feel like the basic Doctrine of Christ would be less emphasized in my life and lives of those I love.

 “We thank Thee O God for a prophet….. “ can’t be sung loud enough! I am so very very grateful for living prophets, and for Jesus Christ setting up “General Conference” in His church. 


Invitation 1: President Nelson gave each of us an invitation. That we read over and over again the messages of this past weekend during the next six months. That we apply these teachings into our lives, and draw upon them for added strength.


Invitation 2: There is clearly more that we need to understand and apply in our lives when it comes to temple covenants. So let us follow the prophet and commit to being in the temple as often and as regularly as we can. In our personal study let us prayerfully seek greater understanding of the power associated with these covenants and look for this power being expressed in our lives.


I love you all so much and look forward to seeing most of you this Friday. Keep up the great work out there Elder Miller. We love you and are so proud of you!

  We can’t wait to all be together this weekend. Mama and I were talking last night about when the next time we might all be together at home again after this weekend and she mentioned it might not be until April Conference time next year. So needless to say we are really looking forward to this weekend. I will keep it short today with a simple invitation. Throughout this week leading up to General Conference and hearing the words of prophets, ask yourself this question: What do you know and have in your life because there is a living prophet on the Earth today?  I think your thoughts will lead you where mine have, and that is to a place of gratitude. No wonder we often sing: We Thank Thee O God, for a Prophet! Love, Dad

 Hello Family, Happy New Year! It is New Year’s Eve, and we are gathered all together in Ogden, Utah. What a treat to be all together! As Lainey would say, “I love you guys!” This weekend I have watched each of you set time aside to plan and to make New Year’s Resolutions, pondering on things that you would like to add or improve in your life. I love that! A life without purpose is a life of complacency. Goals put us in a place to act, and to do. You each know who you are and what your purpose is, and this brings so much joy to Mama and I. This purpose is innate in each one of us, and as we listen to, and follow the Spirit we will continue to strive to become better. The Hope we have that we can be successful at this improvement comes from our faith in Jesus Christ. Nephi teaches us,“ And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from e...

45 (12-4-2023) I Need Thee Every Hour

 45 (12-4-2023) I Need Thee Every Hour Dear Family, This scripture has stayed with me over the past couple of weeks, and has helped me several times. The message has gained greater meaning for me as I try to apply it. I thought this week I would share a few examples of its application in my own life,    and invite you to consider ways to apply it in yours. 2 Nephi 9:39    Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal. President Nelson defined thinking Celestial as being spiritually minded. The prophet Jacob defined here the same way, as “life eternal”. This is our greatest hope and desire, to return to our love in Heavenly parents, and to be together as family forever. So here are just a couple of ways striving to be spiritually minded have helped me this past week: As you all know to well, because you know me better then anyone, patience manages to stay one or two steps ahead of me most times. And when I am inpatient, I ...
