A simple monument sits next to a small canal in an authentic old-world farm setting in the northern part of Friesland in the Netherlands. An old man bicycles by and stops to tell the story of being a seven-year-old when this monument was first dedicated by T. Edgar Lyon, the mission president of the Netherlands Mission 75 years ago.

Editor's note: This is one in a series on the Book of Mormon translations and translators. The Pacific Islands span multiple languages and a variety of translation stories. From Tongan to Maori, from as early as the 1840s through today, translating the Book of Mormon for faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on these hundreds of islands has been a constant work in progress.

Stake presidents across this Argentine capital city supplemented their temple rededication weekend with wise counsel from a trio of apostles. The local stake leaders gathered on Sept. 8, the day before the rededication of the Buenos Aires Argentina Temple, for a special meeting that included direction from President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, and Elder M. Russell Ballard and Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve.

This past weekend, many came away from LDS general conference with long to-do lists and notes of counsel, along with motivation to keep trying. Yet, while topics such as tolerance, chastity and the Ten Commandments may have brought a serious tone, there were also several light-hearted moments. One of the most memorable was during President Thomas S. Monson's Sunday morning address. The prophet smiled several times while telling a story about how as an 8-year-old boy he lit a fire in an attempt to get rid of dry grass in a field.

I, Mary Goble, was born in Brighton, Sussex, England, June 2, 1843. My father was William Goble, son of William and Harriet Johnson Goble. My mother was the daughter of John and Sarah Penfold. My childhood days were spent the same as most children[’s]. When I was in my twelfth year, my parents joined the Latter-Day Saints. On November the 5th I was baptized. The following May we started for Utah. We left our home May 19, 1856.

Conference months can be a bit tricky when constructing a message to share with the women you visit teach. In my experience, most visiting teachers just relay the admonition to read or listen to all of conference. Well, if you can’t tell by now, I am not that kind of girl. I like to think about the messages I am sharing. I like to pray for the sisters I visit teach. I do my best to avoid rattling off a sterile, stock message which would then mean nothing to me or the recipient. Sometimes I put together a series of quotes that I liked best from conference, but most often, I select a talk that strikes me. So, for this month, I have chosen the awkwardly-titled, More Than Conquerors through Him That Loved Us by Elder Paul V. Johnson. In this message, Johnson targets those who are going through trials. I am going through a relatively trial-free period in my life (knock on wood), but I am well aware that the appearance of being trial-free is often powerfully wrong. Even President Henry B. Eyring reminded us in 2004 to treat everyone as though they were in serious trouble. So I would like to include Erying’s advice to treat everyone as though they are going through a personal trial. Although the purpose of Visiting Teaching is so that we can get to know and serve others, some trials are so personal that it may take years before people feel they can trust you enough to not judge with whatever it is they are fighting. Be sensitive to this, and you will be able to serve as an empathetic, listening friend, which is infinitely more valuable than serving as a rote lecturer.
