How the Divine Chastening I Received During Conference Changed My Life

By Ashli Kristine Hansen

Conference has usually been an uplifting time for me—the counsel of our Church leaders comforts and motivates my soul. I love the time with my family and look forward to the ironically named but word-of-wisdom-approved coffee cake we enjoy every Sunday morning session.

The term refers to a “hollow of the body” and is typically translated as “belly” or “womb.”
