What’s Up?

Conference Connection

Sometimes life isn’t easy. However, trials are an essential part of mortality. Here’s what several Church leaders taught about this during the October 2013 general conference.

Conducting Meetings

I really liked “How Do I Conduct a Meeting?” in the February 2013 issue. I was recently called as a deacons quorum president, and your article helped me get used to that particular part of the calling. I now feel more comfortable, and the article helped me avoid that awkward silence that can come when you don’t know what you’re supposed to do. Thank you.

Planning a Date

The day after I read “A Change of Plan” (May 2013), I was in almost the same situation. I was going on a group date and my date told me we were planning to go to a movie I felt uncomfortable seeing. After I read this article, I had the courage to call my date and ask if we could do something else. We ended up playing games instead and had a lot of fun while also keeping our standards high.
