1 invitation from general conference
No, we were not with Mary on that blessed Easter morning. We did not see what she and the other women saw. But we can ask ourselves: What have we seen, felt, or experienced? Shall we not, therefore, become witnesses of Jesus Christ? Shall we not share our love for Him with others?

+ a recent quote from an apostle
I want to highlight one thing you said. Most members of the Church wouldn't realize that one-third of the global enrollment of BYU Pathway is in your area - in the Africa West area. To help people understand that, there are more students in BYU Pathway in your area than the total enrollment at BYU. So you could take all the students at BYU, and they wouldn't exceed the total enrollment that you three brethren supervise in your area. It's remarkable.

1 teaching from the prophet
[W]e should also avoid any practices in which one person attempts to surrender even part of his will to another person or in which another person attempts to take it. Whether the means are chemical, behavioral, electronic, or others not yet dreamed of, such attempts run counter to the heavenly plan and further the adversary’s plan. Free agency, the power to choose and direct our thoughts and our actions, is a gift of God, and we should resist any means that would compromise it.
