We focus on what the Lord wants us to do and how we might do it, but we sometimes forget why. In our diligent efforts to fulfill all of the duties and obligations we take on as members of the Church, we sometimes see the gospel as a long list of tasks that we must add to our already impossibly long to-do list, as a block of time that we must somehow fit into our busy schedules. Sometimes, in the routine of our lives, we unintentionally overlook a vital aspect of the gospel of Jesus Christ, much as one might overlook a beautiful, delicate forget-me-not. Fourth, forget not the “why” of the gospel. A tiny voice spoke out, “Forget me not, O Lord!” And God replied that this would be its name.Ĥ.

This is just a small part of Elder Uchtdorf's message, read the full talk here. Uchtdorf in October 2011 in the women's session, and we wanted to share it in anticipation of the first time women's session will now be held general conference weekend.
As we gear up for general conference, we will be highlighting past conference talks to help us review, remember, and grow closer to the Spirit so that we can better recognize the Lord's voice and direction this coming weekend.
