General Conference is an event held every 6 months at the Conference Center in SLC. It is broadcast live and published in the Ensign magazine the following month. It is where Latter-Day Saints gather to hear the words of our Prophet, his apostles and certain leaders in our church. Such an inspiring weekend!!
From our Prophet Thomas S. Monson: "As I make Christ the center of my life, I need not fear!"
He gave us 6 Attributes to live by.
1. Be an example in word
2. Have Charity
3. Be an example in Spirit (kindness, forgiveness, good will)
4. Be an example in Faith
5. Read and Study, Pray
6. We must be pure, our body is a Temple
1st Counselor Henry B. Eyring: "When we accept the Spirit to always be with us, The Savior can teach us eternal truths."
-He emphasized that we must keep strong our knowledge and hope in the Savior and Resurrection when death comes. It will give comfort to our grieving souls.
2nd Counselor Dieter F. Utchdorf: "Living the Gospel doesn't have to be complicated. When we love God, we serve more and we have a desire to learn more."
- Exaltation is our goal, Discipleship is our Journey.
-All I need is a willing <3, a desire, and a trust in God.
- The gospel works Wonderfully! (Keep it simple)
And a few thoughts from other great speakers!
Richard J Maynes of the 70: How much Joy in life = How centered we are in Christ
Neill F. Marriot a counselor in the Young Women's Presidency: "It will ALL work out!!!"
Larry R. Lawrence of the 70: "We must be willing to ACT when we receive an answer", "The Holy Ghost gives customized answers."
An Apostle, Elder Robert D. Hales: Counsels young adults to ask this question, "If I make this choice, what will be the worst thing that could happen?" -Use this to make important decisions.
An Apostle, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: To Mothers, you are Saviors, be peaceful, believe in God and yourself. THANK YOU MOTHERS.
Devin G. Durrent: Ponderize the Scriptures! 1 verse a week!
Kim B. Clark (former president of BYUI): Through the Holy Ghost, the Light of Christ will cut through the confusion.
An apostle, Elder David A. Bednar: Gives reasons why it is wonderful to have old men run the church! "A lesson of a lifetime from a man I love!"
I felt the Spirit very strong during the 2 days of general conference. I felt happy :) I cried some during certain talks but I know it was the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart. I am so grateful to have Prophets and Apostles here on Earth to lead us and teach us Truth! They are called of God. The Church is true, Christ died for each of us so that we may live again, have a remission of our sins. He knows perfectly our pains, sorrows and temptations of our life. I know He loves us perfectly and unconditionally.
