The Infinite Power of Hope * Scriptures were written that we might have hope * Hope is the power to fill our lives with happiness * Hope + faith + charity * Hope is a gift of the Spirit * Doubt, despair and failure to care for our fellow man lead us into temptation which can cause us to forfeit choice and lose precious blessings * Despair drains from us all that is vibrant and joyful * Despair is a stairway that only leads downward * Jesus Christ is the hope of all mankind * The things that we hope in sustain us during our daily walk * Hope leads to good works * Sometimes we must bravely hope against circumstances * Without faith, there is no hope; faith comes from hope * The things we hope for lead to faith; the thing we hope in lead to charity ==== Elder Scott (Priesthood Session) ==== Honor the Priesthood and Use It Well

  • Christ ministered with love, compassion and charity
  • My intent is not to criticize, but to benefit the flow of the priesthood
  • Many such [widows] will never ask for help
  • Express your gratitude to your wife / mother

Pres. Uchtdorf (Priesthood Session)

Lift Where You Stand * The Savior always made time for the sick, the sorrowful and the overlooked * He is pleased with noble servants * The humble will receive crowns of glory in the next life * The Church is organized in a way that offers each member a chance for service
