Sometimes the greatest truths are right in front of us, hidden in plain sight.  Tune in as Mandy explores a different way of looking at the Tree of Life and the Love of God.  The vision granted to Nephi prompted him to exclaim, " it is the most desirable above all things."  And an angel to add, "Yea, and the most joyous to the soul."  Tune in!

The little details often go unnoticed in the grand masterpieces, but they are precisely what make up the masterpiece.  Join Mandy as she revisits girls camp and a few beautiful works of art for the reminder that each brush stoke adds to the cumulative beauty of any artwork.  The same is true of your life.  So keep on painting!
