Moral Stength of Women Praised in Conference

SALT LAKE CITY — The afternoon session of the 183rd Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints featured remarks from four members of the Quorum of the Twelve on topics ranging from the power of the scriptures, to the need for member involvement in missionary work, to the need for compassion for those who suffer from depression, to the moral force of women. The second of the four apostles to speak during the session, Elder D. Todd Christofferson, told the women of the church that "we rely on the moral force you bring to the world, to marriage, to family, to the church. We rely on blessings you bring down from heaven by your prayers and faith."
