Dieter F Uchtdorf 2^nd Counselor of the First Presidency

• ·         Not so much a belief in the speakers but in the word of God
• ·         Spirit of Envy and Hatred
• ·         We put these dark motives behind others’ doings just from our own anger.
• ·         We must repent and we must be willing to forgive others, even God for dealing our justice in our lives
• ·        Do NOT justify your anger and judgment as righteous and appropriate
• ·         The moment we judge others we condemn ourselves
• ·         For evil we are afflicted and sorely chastened; Why should we feel anger and resentment towards God and others when we do what is wrong, why should we be surprised?

• ·         You shouldn’t think that no matter how upset or hurt One is that One cannot forgive others, even when the forgiveness is only going to help us.
• ·         When we start to judge others, STOP IT!
• ·         “Don’t judge me because I sin differently than you” Bumper Sticker
• ·        We all wish fervently to be forgiven for the sins we have made; how can we deny any measure of the grace that we so desperately desire for ourselves.
• ·         The more we allow the Love of God to govern our mind and emotions the more we allow the love of our Heavenly Father swell in our hearts we allow our heart to love others, and eventually the animosity will fade.
• ·         Let your Heart be filled with the Love of God
• ·         Do you harbor a grudge against someone else?
• ·         Do you gossip, even when what you say is true?
• ·         Do you exclude or push away others?
• ·         Do you wish to harm someone?
• ·         Do you secretly envy someone?
• ·         Give and it shall be given unto you; for the same measure that you use the same shall be measured unto you. O how I wish the compassion I have given to others be turned back to me because I feel abandoned.
• ·         Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
• ·         Lay your burden at the Savior’s feet and He guarantees that He will love me

Russell M Nelson Quorum of the 12 Apostles

• ·         Our degree of gratitude is the measure of our love for Him
• ·         Heavenly Father gave me His Son so I can live again, so I can love again, so I can be whole
• ·         The reproductive powers in our bodies is one of the most sacred gifts we have been given, yet sometimes we think we can use it anyway we see fit.
• ·         A welding of two souls creates no end and no beginning of when these two meet. When do you weld two souls together? In the temple. Otherwise it is just a temporary fitting of two bodies. It doesn’t matter how close two hearts come together if their souls are not spiritually welded as one.
• ·         Awaken in ourselves and others an awareness of God
• ·         Change and become more Christ like

Ronald A Rasband Presidency of the 70

• ·         Why the trial and why the heartache? It goes back to the purpose of this life. It is the final test and the orientation for Eternity.
• ·         Go to Christ and He will heal me. He said even the afflicted with any manner, is not a broken heart not an affliction?
• ·         We all face challenges and are irrevocably injured but it is not unhealable if we go to Him
• ·         We are carefully and lovingly watched over even when we hate God
• ·         He promised He would not leave us helpless nor comfortless, where is the comfort, where is the help? How am I to heal when every breath is beyond the pain I can bare?
• ·         Bare nobly our burdens until that day

Song: Rejoice the Lord is King

Julie B Beck

• ·         Relief Society is to give relief to whomever needs it in whatever way they need it.
• ·         Takes care of the temporal and spiritual needs of our sisters
• ·         We need to seek out the hearts of others so we may help them.
• ·         Don’t be afraid to say, “I need help” when your turn comes
• ·         Our future is full of promise, if we let the Lord work through us we will share in the triumph of the work

D Todd Christofferson Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

• ·         We do not heal our own hearts, nor do we let time heal our hearts. We give our hearts to the Lord and He will give us something new and whole. It will not be immediate, but if we try to do what He asks then He will somehow make it alright, somehow bearable.
• ·         This is not what he spoke on, but it is what I thought on

Song: We oft speak kind words

Thomas S Monson President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

• ·         People are in a hurry everywhere
• ·         Do we pause for times of sorrow, or when crisis hits
• ·         What is really important, and what is really trivial?
• ·         Lay not up for yourself treasures on earth, lay up treasures for heaven
• ·         Do not waste your money always on things, things are good, but who is more important your expensive new computer or TV or your friends, siblings and family.
• ·         Prove yourself
• ·         We discover there are consequences to our choices and actions
• ·         Life moves relentlessly forward
• ·         The need to reach Heavenward for assistance as we move along the pathway
• ·         Follow Eternal Verities
• ·         Let us run with patience the race that is set before us
• ·         We do not enter mortality to follow the easiest path of life
• ·         We have the power to act and to think
• ·         Death is not the end, it does not give us an end.
• ·         Blessings such as Eternal Life and having our families with us forever must be earned.
• ·         You cannot receive a gift for nothing
• ·         To all He asks, come back, come up, come in. Come home. Heavenly Father loves all of us, and He still wishes for our good.

Song: Come Thou Fount
