In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Lant will speak on God’s pure love for us and the love we should show others.

Lant was sustained as the 11th general president of the Primary during the April 2005 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

She has served extensively in the Church, including service as a member of the Primary General Board, stake and ward Primary president, counselor in a stake Relief Society presidency, ward Young Women president and Primary teacher.
