My Favorite was Elder B. Eyering when he stated “In your morning prayer ask how you can serve the Lord? Remember that no matter how much physical difficulties and ailments I might have or for those that say I can’t help others because I have no extra money, he states that you still have to serve the Lord and THEN He will bless you to continue. He went on to say no matter how few things I can do each day I must ask what can I do today to serve you my Lord.

That really touched me. Another statement he said at the end was “Never forget who you are.” Which seems very profound for my calling as Family History Consultant as I have been telling my members this for 3 months now.. you can’t know where you are going till you know where you have been.

I missed both morning sessions as I was too ill to get out of bed and I only got to hear ha;f of the afternoon session but I got bits and pieces of it and will read it as soon as it comes online.

So were there any new announcements Kim?

Elder Oaks: Bishops are not to counsel members to divorce.

I have heard of the contrary. It’s all heresay of course.

Forgiveness removes the burden, and satan’s snare, from your own life. So I give a woo-woo to the prez!

President Faust said we often wait for wrongdoers to repent before we forgive them. we don’t often take the first step.

President Faust talked about the Amish who forgave Charlie Roberts for killing five of their girls and wounding five others. I don’t know if I could immediately forgive someone for killing one of my children. Perhaps I further to go to becoming Christian than the Amish do.
