• covenant - (v). To make a promise or agreement with God. When we partake of the Sacrament, we covenant that we will always remember God. If we keep that covenant, we will always have God's spirit to be with us.
• fullness of the Gospel - (n). All the essential teachings of Jesus Christ that we must know and live to be saved, nothing lacking. The LDS Church is the only church on earth that contains the fullness of the Gospel. 
• General Conference - (n). A semi-annual worldwide broadcast during the first weekend of April and October. The five, 2-hour-long sessions consist of several 15-minute talks given by selected Church leaders and most notably by the President of the Church (the prophet). The talks from the October 2012 General Conference were especially comforting to me as I was going through a really hard trial at the time. I can feel God's love for me when I hear the messages. 
• keep the commandments - (v). To obey God's laws. If we keep the commandments, God will bless us and we will be happy.
• latter days - (n). The period in time in the earth's history that comes right before the Savior's Second Coming. Jesus came in the meridian of time, but we live in the latter days. The Gospel will not be taken from the earth during the latter days, but it will go forth to all nations and peoples to build the kingdom of God in preparation for His coming.
• Primary - (n). The auxiliary or Sunday School class for children 12 and under. Mommy, we sang my favorite song in Primary today!
• saint - (n). A member of God's church, hence the name the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Latter-day Saints try to follow God's teachings and repent when they make mistakes. 
• temple - (n). A beautiful, holy building where the saints worship God and perform many important, sacred ordinances. The Church has at least 140 temples worldwide. 
• trial - (n). A long-lasting challenge. God allows us to suffer many trials so that we can learn from them and become better people.
