Love is spelled F A M I L Y

I enjoyed how Women's Conference was completely centered on family. My favorite talk was Sister Carole M. Stephens. She was real and candid in her approach to the subject of family.
Sister Stephens started her talk by quoting the primary song "The Family is of God" and structured her talk on this song. She outlined her talk using the four lines from the song and expanded on each one. She was able to include all ages as her talk surrounded a primary song, but also addressed some of the more mature elements of life.
Sister Stephens built her Ethos by quoting from The Proclamation and from Modern Apostles such as Elder Scott.
She also build pathos by telling stories. I enjoyed the story she told of being in Chile and asking the older woman, whom she was visiting, how many grandchildren she had. The story brought warmth to my heart as the women's daughter explained how her mother was grandmother to everyone in the neighborhood.
Sister Stephens brought a feeling of  honesty to the talk when she addressed many of the ailments in the world today and admitted that many of them had not been her trials to face in this life. She conceded that while she may not understand, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ do.
She also quoted the prophet Joseph Smith from the book Daughter in My Kingdom. This was a great way to build unity with the sisters as this book is meant  primarily for the Relief Society.
Sister Stephens also built her ethos while inspiring pathos as she quoted from the scriptures. She was able to reiterate the importance of her message by using the words of Jesus Christ.
Sister Stephens even incorporated a bit of logos in to her talk as she spoke of the blessings which do come from studying the teachings of the Savior.
I am grateful for Sister Stephens, her love, her honesty, and the sacred topic that she spoke on.
