General conference is one of my favorite things in life, and this time was particularly important to me.

Not just civility, something deeper: the call to peacemaking. I suspect we’ll talk more about it in coming episodes, so for now, a highlights reel.
Humanitarian work matters, but worship is what sustains the conviction, discipline, and devotion that keep it alive.
The Supreme Court did not broadly approve conversion therapy; it protected client self-determination in therapy.

A charming local news story out of Guam on Tuesday praised The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who donated 324 wheelchairs to local support agencies. Be sure to read it here. I was particularly pleased to read the paper report, “The wheelchairs have been well thought out as they come in multiple sizes and extra cushions for comfort and are also durable in Guam weather conditions.” These kinds of local donations from locals who understand local needs are often at the heart of the best Christian service. And while the recently released report demonstrates the breadth of the Church’s charitable efforts, it’s still these local reports that best demonstrate the heart and giving spirit of Latter-day Saints.
