Lisa Harkness

First Counselor in the General Presidency of the Primary (March 31, 2018 – Present)

General Conference Addresses

• October 2020 General Conference
  • Peace, Be Still
    • “Certainly, the Savior of the world understands our mortal limitations, for He teaches us how to feel peace and calm even when the winds blow fiercely around us and billowing waves threaten to sink our hopes.”
    • “Regardless of our circumstances, we can intentionally make efforts to build and increase our faith in Jesus Christ. It is strengthened when we remember that we are children of God and that He loves us. Our faith grows as we experiment on the word of God with hope and diligence, trying our very best to follow Christ’s teachings. Our faith increases as we choose to believe rather than doubt, forgive rather than judge, repent rather than rebel.”
• October 2019 General Conference
  • Honoring His Name
    • “Our promise to always remember the Savior gives us strength to stand for truth and righteousness—whether we are in a large crowd or in our solitary places, where no one knows our actions except for God.”
    • “Our covenant remembering quiets worldly worries, turns self-doubt into courage, and gives hope in times of trial.”
    • “The Savior’s atoning sacrifice should be remembered, always, through our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others. Not only does He remember our names, but He remembers us always.”
