General Conference October 2010 Saturday Afternoon Session

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

Doctrine/beliefs challenged= time to get close to Heavenly Father
FAITH
Need to work hard to have faith
Choose to have faith!
Logic/reason conflict with faith
Mountains removed (doubt, pain, sorrow)


Lord I Would Follow Thee

Kevin R Duncan

Adversity Frozen feet
California for riches and climate! :)
SL valley did become nice
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!
