Many historic changes were announced during and leading up to the October 2019 general conference. In case you missed any, here's an overview of these adjustments and what they mean for your wards and families.

Conference Talk:

Oftentimes, as a practicing mental health professional, I am asked: when should a person see a clinical professional, seek the help of friends and family, or seek help from priesthood leadership in regards to medical mental health issues? I can say that from both a personal perspective and as a mental health counselor such questions are very complex, and it is important to be sensitive both to individual needs and the situation. Having said that, there are some very clear directives when mental health assistance should be considered. All of us at various times in our lives will face complex and difficult life situations that can bring sadness, loss, anxiety, confusion, and concern into our lives. More often than not, such situations and feelings are part of this mortal existence and can be worked through by the guidance, direction, and comfort from family, friends, and Church leadership.

I love dip recipes. There's some sort of harmony in that they're all served in a bowl with some sort of other food that gets dunked into them, but there's so much variety that you can consume a full-course meal in dip form. To satisfy my dip craving, I set out to round up the best of them all. Some of these are twists on old classics, but some are new and exciting recipes you may not have seen before.
