Have you ever had something that is so good you wanted to share it with everyone?

She will take you through the often overlooked but powerful contributions of the queen and Abish, who show that missions come in many forms.

Raise your hand if you had at least one conversation about covenants since General Conference?  We sure have! And this week we are about to talk even more. Buckle up for a spiritual rollercoaster ride as Candis delves into the thrilling world of covenant-making. Join her this week as she takes you into Mosiah 18-24,  where two intertwined narratives unfold: the trials of Alma's people and the deliverance of King Limhi's people. Amidst persecution and escape, the essence of covenant commitment shines through.  Candis navigates the profound implications of modern covenants, from baptism to sacrament renewal. But covenant-making isn't an easy path; it demands resilience amidst adversity, as seen in the contrasting fates of two peoples. As the journey loops back to its origin, the question resounds: will you go and keep your covenants, come what may?

Have you ever thought about whose testimony has had a direct impact on your own? Well, for Candis, one of those people is Abinadi. Delving into the scriptures, she will explore the contrasting testimonies of King Noah and Abinadi, revealing how Noah's disguised belief in God ultimately led to his downfall, while Abinadi's bold testimony illuminated the path of discipleship. She will teach you the importance of bringing your testimony out into the open. To live, study, and pray diligently while boldly testifying of Christ. And ultimately, challenge each of us to follow the example of Abinadi's unwavering conviction.
