Hey everyone, I just want to take a second to invite you to join me this year at Restore

a Faith Matters Gathering happening October 13th and 14th.

It's going to be at the Amount and America Expo Center in Sandy and it promises to be

an exceptional conference.

I attended last fall and found it to be a remarkably inspiring, hopeful two days of listening

to really well-prepared, thoughtful talks as well as inspiring music and really feeling

a deep connection with my other Latter-day Saint brothers and sisters around me in our

shared desire to speak to the best in our faith and to speak to one another and find a sense

of connection.

I'm also going to be one of the people speaking.

I'll be speaking a bit about eros energy and its connection to spirituality and to the

light of Christ and so I hope to see you all there.

lives have been upended, of women and men who have displayed true heroism, and the bright

light of miracles, big and small, shining through the darkness of war.
