What Did the Prophet Ask Us To Do?
Saturday Morning Session-
Welcome to Conference
Missionary age changed for young men to 18 and for young women to
19. “We encourage ALL young men who are
worthy and who are physically able and mentally capable to respond to the call
to serve.”
“We continue to need many more senior couples. As your circumstances allow, as you are
eligible for retirement, and as your health permits, I encourage you to make
yourselves available for full-time missionary service.”
Listen attentively to the messages.
Feel the spirit of the Lord and gain the knowledge He would desire for
us.
Priesthood Session-See Others As
They May Become
If you feel that you do not yet have the depth of testimony you would
wish, I admonish you to work to achieve such a testimony. If it is strong and deep, labor to keep it
that way.
A woman needs to be told she is beautiful. She needs to be told she is valued. She needs to be told she is worthwhile.
Men need to be told they are capable and worthwhile. They need to be given a chance to serve. It is our responsibility to give them
opportunities to live as they should. We
can help them to overcome their shortcomings.
We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but
as they may become when they receive testimonies of the gospel of Christ.
He said this three times!- almost word for word! The last time he added, “I would plead with
you to think of them this way.”
We must have “courage to turn our backs on temptation, courage to lift
up our voices in testimony to all whom we meet, remembering that everyone must
have an opportunity to hear the message.”
Our watchword today: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you; and lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the world.”
Quoted Joseph Smith: “After all
that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the
Gospel.”
“I pray that we will have the courage to extend the hand of fellowship,
the tenacity to try and try again, and the humility needed to seek guidance from
our Father as we fulfill our mandate to share the gospel. The responsibility is upon us.”
Sunday Morning Session- Consider
the Blessings
Take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including
seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings.
Pay heed to the guidance of the spirit; Never postpone a prompting
Be aware of the blessings in our lives
Sunday Afternoon Session- God Be
With You Till We Meet Again
I encourage you to read the talks once again and to ponder the messages
contained therein. Study them in greater
depth.
Watch over one another, assist in time of need.
Don’t be critical and judgmental; Be tolerant, emulating the Savior’s
example of loving-kindness.
Willingly serve one another.
Pray for the inspiration to know of the needs of those around us; Go
forward and provide assistance
Be of good cheer
Show our gratitude to the Savior by accepting His sacrifice and living
lives that will qualify us to live with Him.
