I
once had an institute instructor who, after every conference, would ask the
class members what we thought the theme of conference is/was. I think this year’s theme is on listening to
the guidance of the Holy Ghost and finding the light to overcome darkness – or help
others to find light.
Light
has so many meanings. It is symbolic for
overcoming a bad experience or finally understanding something that wasn’t
understood before.
Light
is illustrated through light bulbs, candles, lamps, Christmas lights,
lighthouses. Those kinds of lights are
artificial. The sun is a source of
natural light. The Son is a
representation of light for us to follow. Other than leading us out of
darkness, He can also lighten our burdens.
Light
can mean the opposite of dark. It can also mean the opposite of heavy.
I

snow in the dessert is lighter than the snow on the coast (when there is snow
