Homes were demolished and roads were flooded after Hurricane Michael made landfall on Wednesday, leaving some members trapped inside their homes by the debris. "We’re going to have faith that the Lord is going to give us clear roads to be able to help the people,” said Area Seventy Elder Douglas B. Carter about the cleanup efforts ahead.

The past general conference made us laugh, cry, and recommit to following our Savior. In order to remember some of the exciting moments we experienced, Eric D. Richards recently created a video highlighting the funniest moments from this past general conference.

While acknowledging that the Latter-day Saint focus on Church and family is appropriate, Elder Steven E. Snow of the Seventy said he hopes members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also give high priority to how they treat all of God’s creations.

Our Church leaders placed a heavy emphasis on ministering during the October 2018 general conference. They discussed the deep meaning behind the “newer, holier approach” and taught that our brothers and sisters on this earth need us, and we need them.

Chris Burkard isn’t known for his endurance on a bike, but perhaps he should be. Burkard, a photographer whose Instagram account is followed by 3.5 million people, was this week’s guest on All In and shared the lessons he learned while participating in Iceland’s WOW Cyclothon this June. Burkard set a new solo record in the race, completing the 844-mile race in 52 hours, 36 minutes, and 19 seconds, besting his previous record by over 20 minutes. Burkard said one of the biggest takeaways from the race was the recognition that we need others’ support in life.

I have a distinct memory of sitting in a junior high school math class, tearing a piece of paper from my binder, and scribbling a note for my friend who sat a few desks in front of me to see if he had plans for the weekend. I folded the note as small as I could, waited for a time when the teacher wasn’t looking, then passed it forward. Over the course of 45 minutes of stealth, the two of us resolved to meet at the bike racks after school and decide what to do next. Today, I can press a button on my watch, speak a message, and have it sent to someone halfway across the world in a matter of seconds. Technology has absolutely transformed the way we communicate and interact with each other.

Over the years, I’ve had sisters share a number of questions and concerns with me about Relief Society, with additional ones being shared with the ministering changes. Some are logistical questions. Others are deep-seated concerns. Below I address a few of these, in no particular order.
