| General Conference |
Saturday morning Session.
Robert D. Hales
-Conference talk themes are not assigned. They are prepared through lots of study, fasting and prayer. What the conference speakers say is the word and will of God.
-We make a mistake if we think that conference is above the spiritual level or intellect of a child. the Holy Ghost carries the word of the Lord to our hearts in a ways that we can understand it.
Ulisses Soares
-We develop spiritual gifts as we exercise our moral agency righteously.
-Only those who are humble can acknowledge and accept the Lord's counsel.
Carole M. Stevens
-As we partake of the Sacrament we don't just renew baptismal covenants, but ALL covenants we have made with the Lord
Edward Dube
-NEVER LOOK BACK!
-Don't waste time marveling at what you have already accomplished when there is still a lot to do.
-Moses 1:39- Now that is a TEAM goal!
-The past is to be learned from, not lived in! -Jeffrey R. Holland
-It's not so much about what we have done or where we have been, but where we are willing to go.

-Don't overlook the subtle but significant blessings that are often not seen.
-Look for chances to change your circumstances, don't wait for someone or something to come and do it for you.
-My tithing as a missionary is to give a 100% faithful service. A missionary who doesn't give 100% isn't a full tithe payer. Those who don't pay a full tithe aren't worthy to enter the temple.
Deiter F. Uchtdorf
-What makes our church different? It was restored by Jesus Christ himself. No other church can say that.
-The Lord requires more of us than just listening to pretty sermons in conference and dreaming of mansions above.
-Assignments are not burdens, but opportunities to fulfill our covenants.
-Though Christ is perfect and his doctrine is pure, His church is led by His imperfect children. He uses weak and simple means to bring about much good.
-DOUBT YOUR DOUBTS BEFORE YOU DOUBT YOUR FAITH

-To be a successful missionary. 1: humble yourself. 2:abide by the word of God. 3: Hearken unto the spirit.

-The ability to create lives is the most exalted power God has given us as mortals.
