Conference Conversations

Conference Conversations is sponsored by ZeroRez. Emergencies come when you least expect them, and most of us don’t have $1,000 saved to deal with one. Dave & Dujanovic have spent the last few months leading listeners through the $1,000 Challenge. Evelyn Cox, a member of Dave & Dujanovic's $1,000 Facebook page, joined Dave and Debbie for a special General Conference edition of the $1,000 Challenge. They talked about saving strategies, their progress in the challenge, and the obstacles each of them have faced along the way.

KSL Newsradio reporter Mary Richards traveled to St Louis, Missouri, to hear stories going back generations, and to tour the Gateway Arch Museum, which tells the story of the westward expansion including the Mormon Trail.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always received welcome, peace and support in St. Louis, even in the early days of the Church in the 1830s. When mobs tossed Church members from their homes in areas like Jackson and Davies counties, St. Louis welcomed the Saints.

St. Louis had one of the only stakes outside of Utah in the 1850s. The city was even designated by Brigham Young as the trailhead for the trek west for a time.

The St. Louis Stake was reorganized in the 1950s, and Mary Richards interviewed members of the Lochheed and Oscarson families, which have been instrumental in the growth of the Church in the present day.

Finally, the St. Louis Temple was dedicated in 1997 after unprecedented community and inter-faith support. Its first president, Menlo Smith, spoke about those blessings.

Nelson," a biography of the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in this special edition of A Woman's View with Amanda Dickson. Sheri shares vignettes about President Nelson, such as the reason why the book includes a photo of him swinging in a swing at the age of 90 -- or how the life-saving open heart surgery he performed on Spencer W. Kimball, who would later become the church's 12th president, actually represented something that had never been done before in cardiology.
