This is the recreation of a presentation given at the 2026 BYU Women's Conference focused on the theme of peacemaking. It emphasizes the importance of love, compassion, and understanding in fostering unity and peace, even in the face of disagreement and contention. It uses modern-day examples and draws inspiration from the teachings of Jesus Christ and from the Book of Mormon, which is a book of ancient scripture used hand-in-hand with the Bible.
