Saturday Morning

Conducting: President Henry B Eyring

Music: Tabernacle Choir

Song: The Morning Breaks

Song: With Songs of Praise

Elder Richard G. Scott

Scriptures are like packets of light. They give guidance from on high. They can open the channel to communion with the Father and Jesus Christ. Be stalwart friends that are not limited by miles or calendar; a filing cabinet with friends. Great power can come from memorizing scriptures; to discover and make a new friend that gives inspiration, comfort, and inspiration for needed change.

To obey is better than to sacrifice.

What scriptures do you have memorized? What friends in your scriptures do you have, and can call upon in a time of need.

Find scriptures of hope, faith, endurance, and love everlasting. If you have friends in the scriptures and obey his words then you are doing your very best; which is all the Father has ever asked of us. He has asked us to choose Him our Father and to follow His commandments so we may obtain a greater reward.

If you do these things you will have a stronger testimony in the Son of God, greater faith and more ability to endure.

Song: We Ever Pray for Thee

Sister Barbara Thompson

The Savior lives. Personal Revelation continues today.

Oft times we wonder what am I to do? What is the answer? We have a direct connection to our Father in heaven to find where He wants us to go. Have you inquired of the Lord?

In times of trouble your testimony that you have built will keep and sustain you through the troubles you will and are facing.

For personal revelation we need to desire it and then believe we will receive an answer and then keep the commandments.

L. Whitney Clayton

Missionary work can be accomplished in ways that we might not readily see as possible.

We do not comprehend how the gospel will spread or how, but it will.

The church organization that we have today is only the beginning and will continue to spread in wonderful and wondrous ways that we cannot imagine yet.

This work will move forward one heart and one family at a time to bless people everywhere.

This is our commission and commandment to spread the truth and prepare the world for His second coming. We must work and strive to accomplish this thing.

This is the work of the Father, do you really think it will stop now, or before it has reached every single soul that has ever and will ever live?

Congregational Song: Redeemer of Israel

President Thomas S. Monson

When we are busy life goes by just that much more quickly.

A few more temples to be built: Provo Tabernacle to be made a temple, the second temple in Provo; Columbia, South Africa, Wyoming, Dominican Republic, and France and one more place I think, but I missed it.

Jose L.  Alonso

Service to one another and to us is vital. We need to show greater service to those that are near to us, and save those whom we are able without sacrificing our very livelihoods.

Live more like the Savior.

Each day we have the opportunity to give service.

Do not plan, just act.

Sometimes we never even know that we are lost and sometimes those who are close to us will not realize that they are lost.

Do the right thing at the right time without delay.

If we are in need then we will be healed and receive succor when we are the one in want.

Boyd K. Packer

The youth do not always KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.  Gender is essential in the creation and knowledge of who we are today. We also need to listen to the warnings of the prophets and to know where to go. We are the young crow which does not know where to go.

You will not make mistakes so long as you are listening to the spirit.

He who has repented the same is forgiven and He shall remember them no more.

Listen to the voice of the spirit and you will not be lead away.

You are being raised in enemy territory, but you will be safe if you will follow the commandments. Be clean in mind, clothing, and action in all things and then you will be safe.

The outcome of this battle is not in question. Lucifer will lose. Those that know the way will lead you in the correct direction, all you have to do is follow and do.

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and do not lean on your own understanding.

The end of the world will not come before you get to where you want to be. Continue on with life as you have been and life will go on and the Lord will come in his time.

Song: I am a Child of God

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

There are many creations that the Lord has and loves as he loves Hitler, Christ and me.

The glory of creation is sacred and special.

Animals, plants and sand they are all part of this world and love the Father and will obey His every command with exactness, and are special to Him and should be taken care of.

Compared to God man is nothing, but we are important to God as He is most important to us. He was worlds without end in His grasp and He wants us to reach it to and to have all things.

We should be bothered by the problems of others because they are just as important as ourselves.

We are not too small to have been forgotten by the Father. You are not insignificant to the only ones who matter.

We should never wonder if the Father does not see us or hear us. He only wants us to do the best we can, to remember Him, and help those around us and all will be well. He does not care if you work in marble walls or stable halls; he will use us in His way and make our paths straight.

Those who are important will never be remembered in the annals of history.

Write to family members of whom we love and take care of them.

Do your best to emulate the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

Be a living witness of your strong faith in Him.

1. God loves the humble and meek for they are greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.

2. He entrusts his gospel to be taught to the ends of the world by the weak and the simple.

3. No matter where you live or how humble your circumstances, your appearance, and stability you are not invisible to your Heavenly Father.

4. What you see and experience now is not what will forever be. You will not always feel pain, and discouragement this is only temporary things. Have hope and faith in this. One day you will have peace and rest if you will hold on and believe in him and be faithful in his commandments.
