“We must remember that whatever our best but imperfect offering is, the Savior can make it perfect. No matter how insignificant our efforts may seem, we must never underestimate the Savior’s power.” — Elder Vern P. Stanfill #GeneralConference

@tyabm Did you ever wear a 2nd pair of underwear underneath your garment to hold a menstrual pad? Plus a bra under your garment and an extra shirt to keep your garment in place under your dress? And a pair of bike shorts so the garment wouldn’t show when your skirt flapped while biking?

@ByCommonConsent @ms_peaceweaver Do they ever talk about men having “influence” in the #LDS church? No. Influencing is something women do from the sidelines.

The audience giggles when #SisterCordon says she is retiring the class names we have "so loved" Beehives, Mia Maids, Laurels. #GeneralConference #ldsconf I liked the idea of calling them deacons, teachers and priests, but they are going with "Young Women"

Huh. #BroHolmes says the #LDS priesthood responsibility to "call to repentance" most often means that the priesthood holder himself must repent. I haven't heard it described that way before. #LDSconf

I had forgotten this gem of a lyric: “Oh, what songs we'll employ As the heart swells with joy, When our Heavenly Parents we meet!” #LDS #GeneralConference

It time for the concluding speaker of this #EasterSunday morning #GeneralConference . It has been delightful to hear from speakers from all around the world. Unfortunately, only one of them was female. Let’s hear from diverse women, too. #LDSconf

This original dress belonged to the ever-fashionable Emmeline B Wells, editor of the original @TheExponent and advocate for women's rights. #WomenInHistory
