Hey y'all!
General Conference was sure amazing wasn't it? For anyone out there who hasn't watched yet, don't worry, there is time to repent! And as Elder Utchdorf told us last conference, the second best time is right now. Go!
Now that you're back, we can continue. That sure was amazing wasn't it?
I don't have a ton to say, but I'll highlight a few of my favorites.
Elder Holland-
"If you haven't already, you will one day find an opportunity when you will have to defend your faith." How powerful is that? I have gotten used to defending my faith sometimes on a daily basis, so this came as a surprise to me, thinking back and realizing that not everyone out there is going through this like I am. It also gave me some confidence when he said that sometimes standing up for your faith and being a missionary just means that you are "called to worry, to warn, and sometimes just to weep." That was comforting.
Elder Rasband-
That story was amazing wasn't it? There wasn't much else I wanted to say about that one other than it was inspiring! Awesome!
Sister Reeves-
"The best filter for pornography or unclean thoughts is a sure testimony in the savior Jesus Christ." That says it all. Do we all have our filtering system turned on?
A couple more noteworthy quotes from the conference:
"If blessings came immediately, then choosing the right would not build faith."
-Henry B. Eyring
"What are we missing if we are ever learning but failing to ever come to the knowledge of the truth?"
- Russell M. Nelson
"There is no up or down. Simply backwards or forwards, and that depends on the person who is called."
"Gaining exaltation is not a matter of asserting rights, but fulfilling responsibilities."
- Dallin H. Oaks
"Hearing a worthy message is of little value unless we are willing to accept and act on the message."
- Donald L. Hallstrom
"With the click of a button, you can gain access to whatever your heart desires. That's the key. What does your heart desire?"
-Randall L. Ridd
"Being a disciple of Christ is not an effort of once a week or once a day. It is an effort of once and for all."
- Dieter F. Utchdorf
"Do not that which is easy, but that which is right."
- Thomas S. Monson
"How often are we waiting to find the rainbow before thanking God that there is rain?"
-Dieter F. Utchdorf
"No matter how good your message is you may not get a chance to deliver it without consistent and persistent follow up."
- M. Russell Ballard
Of course there were a bunch of other amazing talks, but those were the ones that stood out to me as I was reviewing my notes.
I love you.
God loves you.
This Gospel is true.
And a random lake view picture, just because!
