Dear Elders and Sisters:

It’s time for General Conference again!!  Here are some quotes/talks from last conference that effected our lives for good: 

Elder Eyring:  “we know at least one of the effects [of fasting]: the Savior completely resisted Satan’s temptations to misuse His divine power.”

Elder Packer’s ‘Last Lecture’:  The Plan of Happiness

Elder Perry’s ‘Last Lecture’:  Why Marriage and Family Matter—Everywhere in the World (interesting that he & Elder Packer spoke on the same subject)

Elder Bednar:  Unlike worldly fear that creates alarm and anxiety, godly fear is a source of peace, assurance, and confidence.

Elder Christofferson:  Each individual carries the divine image, but it is in the matrimonial union of male and female as one that we attain perhaps the most complete meaning of our having been made in the image of God—male and female.

Elder Andersen:  We learn the dance steps [of the Gospel] with our minds, but we hear the music with our hearts.

Elder Renlund:  it is not the Holy Ghost that tells us we’re so far gone that we might as well give up.

Elder Ringwood: the service that counts most is usually recognized by God alone.

Elders Causse & Anderson both talked about eyes (new eyes and opening our eyes).

Elder Nielson:  All of us are lost and need to be found. 

Elder Holland:  Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, suffered, died, and rose from death in order that He could, like lightning in a summer storm, grasp us as we fall, hold us with His might, and through our obedience to His commandments, lift us to eternal life.

Elder Uchtdorf:  The Church is a place of healing, not hiding.

Prayers to you all!  Bro & Sis Baum
