Speaker – Elder Dieter F Uchtdorf

I drove over to my in-laws home with the family where we had lunch. That pretty much made this talk impossible for me to take notes. But, it was a good talk.

Speaker – Elder Takashi Wada – Plan of Salvation

  • Upon graduating, he was given a New Testament
  • This is where he learned God loved him
  • Stories about him taking lessons with the missionaries
  • He had was not sure he was feeling the Holy Ghost
  • He heard the missionaries praying for him and it softened his heart

Speaker – Elder Ronald A Rasband

  • The Savior is not absent from our mortal journey
  • He sustains us as we face the drama of life
  • We sustain each other
  • To “sustain” means to hold up, trust, act, support
  • We hold up the lords light when we hold fast to our covenants
  • King Benjamin
  • At 100, President Nelson has been kept and held up by the Lord
  • The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saings is preparing the world when the knowledge of the gospel will be throughout the world (that may be misquoted)
  • We need to do more lifting and less murmuring
  • Hard to tell counterfeits
  • Temple worship
  • President Nelson has announced 160+ temples
  • The temple will not give you power, but attending and serving in the temple will
  • Angels will minister in the temple

Song – We Thank Thee Oh God For a Prophet

Speaker – Elder Quinten L Cook

  • T-Shirt a book, the original handheld device
  • Any device will never be as important as instruction that comes from personal revelation
  • We treasure books
  • Combined with the teachings of living prophets
  • The scriptures continue to be the primary source for the conversion of… broken hearts, testimonies
  • Families conversion
  • Anti-Mormon literature
  • The conversions that are accruing in our day are equally remarkable

Speaker – Elder I Raymond Egbo

  • So you see what is happening right before our eyes.

  • Why build them at an unprecedented pace?
  • Because the lord has asked them to do so
  • They are also meant to prepare a people for the coming of the Lord
  • The glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall be revealed
  • Old Jerusalem and New Jerusalem
  • Those with him will be called, chosen, and faithful
  • Now is the time to prepare.
  • Now is the time to make our discipleship our highest priority
  • How can we do this?
  • Temple worship will help us.
  • Peace instead of turbulence
  • Every since seeker of Jesus Christ will find him in the temple
  • The most crucial question is this… to whom or to what will I give my life.
  • That choice has made all the difference. Given me purpose. Helped him weather the storms of life
  • When is wife died, he could not reach any of his children.
  • Armed robbers put a gun to President Nelson’s head. The gun did not fire.
  • Felt an undeniable peace.
  • I will be on your right, and on your left, spirit in your hearts, angels round about you to bear you up.
  • Devote time each week to understand the atonement
  • The best is yet to come.
