General Conference - October 2008

Elder Perry

Let Him Do It with Simplicity

  • The best is yet to come
  • The spiritual benefits of a simplified lifestyle
  • Exercise regularly, eat good foods, get sleep
  • We do not want to harm our mortal bodies, because they are a gift from God
  • Live within our income
  • Practice thrift

Sister Allred

Go Ye Therefore

  • Church has the duty of preaching the gospel
  • Missionary work blesses the lives of all who participate

Elder Andersen

You Know Enough

  • "When Jesus comes, I will be able to hear and you will get your legs. Jesus will make everything all right."

Elder Aidukaitis

Because My Father Read the Book of Mormon

  • No chapel in Brazil when his father was baptized (reminds me of Trevelin)
  • Read the Book of Mormon and apply the promise it contains

Elder Oaks

Sacrament Meeting and the Sacrament

  • Inviting detours at every turn
  • Go to the house of prayer
  • Rest from labors, pay devotion to the Most High
  • By taking the sacrament weekly, we quality for the constant presence of the Holy Ghost

Pres. Uchtdorf

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 * God will hold us accountable in how we treat His daughters ==== Elder Hamula (Priesthood Session) ==== Winning the War against Evil * Final stages of a great war * Awful consequences through history * Awesome, powerful talk :) ==== 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
