The first weekend in October was the General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Twice a year, everyone has the opportunity to hear the living prophet, apostles, and other general authorities (Primary, Sunday School, Young Men/Women, etc...) speak to us. It is a wonderful weekend and I always feel so happy long afterwards!
Here are some of the highlights I found listening to the church leaders:
~Great power can come from memorizing scriptures.
Elder Richard G. Scott
~Seek for wisdom instead of for power.
Sister Barbara Thompson
~Do the right thing, at the right time, without delay.
Elder Jose L. Alonso
~You are never far from the side of your Heavenly Father.
Elder Boyd K. Packer
~Jesus uses a very different scale to measure the worth of a soul.
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
~Motherhood is not a hobby--it's a calling.
Elder Neil A. Anderson
~We are all given the same amount of time to use each day.
Elder Ian S. Arden
~It is better to look UP!
~God wants us to be happy.
Elder Carl B. Book
~Sometimes we do not recieve an answer to prayer because the Lord knows we are not ready--but we will recieve an answer here a little, and there a little.
~We pray for patience, and want it right now!
~Everyone of us is more dear to the Lord than we can possibly understand.
Elder Robert D. Hales
~The most important thing a father can do to raise his daughters is to love his wife.
Sister Elaine S. Dalton
~Teach people, not lessons.
Elder Matthew O. Richardson
~It is never too hard or too late to make correct choices.
Elder Randall K. Bennett
~Heavenly Father loves us so much that the things that are important to you becomes important to Him--because He loves us.
Elder J. Devn Cornish
~Heavenly Father is mindful of our challenges and loves each of us individually.
President Thomas S. Monson
