Thoughts on the Sacrament
One of my favorite talks from General Conference earlier this month was “Behold the Lamb of God” by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. His emphasis on respecting the Sacrament made a strong impression on me.

It’s something you’ve heard so many times that you can tell anyone about Jesus and what we believe about Him. You know about Jesus Christ. But do you know Him personally? I wonder that a lot.
