A family choir!

Elder Robert Hales

Agency!!! Definition in dictionary not what we think of in church
Varnished floor into corner trapped by consequence of actions
Can repent! Is lots of work, hard, but worth it

(low on batteries.... hopefully can finish)


Elder Quentin L Cook

Vera Lin hope songs
Lights go out all over world blackouts to confuse bombers
Freedom and light hard to maintain assault on moral principles and religious freedo
Black out from homes those things that hurt spiritual
If we do not, then no more peace
Religious observance in home is a necessity
How get people to still be moral even when don't believe in God
Is optimistic , most good people, but still are people (with large influence)
Battle between people that want to divorce all religion from society
-not common for voice of people to desire that which is not right
Values based on religious belief are good for society
Shared value of honesty.
-Religion needed for democracy to work (because teaches honesty)
-elimination of slavery
--LDS opposition to slavery caused (in part) the extermination order


Richard C Edgley

Choose to have faith!
Logic/reason conflict with faith
Mountains removed (doubt, pain, sorrow)

Listen to the prophets! Trust in their counsel (and prophecy) because will lead you right
Salvation hinges on listening to the prophet

Gerrit W Gong

Bread in the MTC
Missionaries!
Blackberries when read in church, make green bishops blue
Eternity mirrors in temple- reflection on family

Neil L Anderson

When Jesus declared he was Son of God, many disciples left
This life is no spiritual picnic
Offended/ashamed - these words are dangerous
There are many things that can hold us away
--Parley Pratt JS "get over it"
--Frederick Williams taken from leadership but kept working
Be not ashamed of testimony

Openly showing faith could mean that could lose job
"if ye love me, keep my commandments"

Richard G Scott

Faith is transformative
Faith and character are strongly related
We become who we want to be by....
The Consistant Character is necessary for happiness
Testimony is not emotion
Character is the manifestation of what you are becoming

1. Faith in Jesus
2. Repentance
3. Obedience
4. Service


Home is where the heart is!

October 2010 Saturday Morning

After the audio started working, we are enjoying Conference. We are sad to miss the announcement of the new temples! ( Which are: Indianapolis, Indiana, Urdaneta (Philippines), Lisbon, Hartford (Connecticut), and Tijuana!

Thank you for your thank yous, Elder Holland!

Kids! Teach them!

Prophets are real!


Gospel teaching- an attitude to inspire
Read scriptures daily
Inspiring teachers teach gospel because knew the prophets
(screaming child.....)
Read for Spirit
Need to pray to know and meet needs of students in class
Keep commandments
Follow promptings from Spirit
Teachers have a sacred trust

D Todd Christopherson

Happiness, true happiness comes from making good choices
Consecrate is to set apart something - our lives! To Heavenly Father

A pure life - repent and be worthy- putting off natural man
A life of labor- all honest work is the work of God- need to do constant labor, (and leisure! Like Music art, entertainment- hard work to find wholesome leisure)
Caring for body for it is a temple- present your bodies holy acceptable before God
Servant not greater than Lord (Pres. Monson) simple acts confirm divine- parents care and nurture their children
Integrity - don't be a hypocrite

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

Pres. Uchtdorf

Ideal conditions for growing
Turbulence is change of climate - should reduce speed
Focus on essentials when things are hard
Stress comes- we try to hurry through in spite of obstacles
Every virtue can become a vise
Forgo good things to develop things that are better or best (Elder Oaks)
Ballpoint pens don't work in space so spend millions on doing that can write in space meanwhile, the astronauts use pencil
Master the fundamentals!!!!
Still small voice gets lost in delusion of information
Be diligent in doing the things of the Lord

Relationship with God - good then feel better improve relationship by learning of him and being like Jesus - need quiet time alone with Him

Relationship with families - build by dinner , FHE live spelled t-i-m-e.

Relationship with fellowmen - look for troubled

Relationship with ourselves! Learn to see yourself how God sees you!
