"What We Are Learning And Will Never Forget"
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
If you look at your life prayerfully, I believe you will see many ways in which the Lord has been guiding you through this time of hardship.
P8
"That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God" (D&C 76:22-24).
This morning I studied Joseph Smith - Matthew and Matthew 24 regarding about what the Savior has taught about what will happen before His Second Coming. Am I ready?
I blogged for Friday and now I am officially caught up with my blog!
In preparation for an afternoon and evening filled with stake conference meetings I prepared a chicken taco casserole for our meals today. When I was finished my feet and knees hurt and so I sat down after taking some Tramadol. The leadership meeting which James and I are both required to go to starts at 3 p.m. I was pretty miserable and told James I thought I should stay at home, so he went without me.
When James got to the stake center in Lakeside he sat by Kerri. She asked where I was and he said I wasn't feeling well. He asked her to send me the link for the meeting, which she did. She sent me the Meetinghouse Webcast which was broadcasting all of the session of our stake conference. I enjoyed watching and listening to this session of conference. The program went something like this:
Elder Jay Anderson who is an area Seventy, lives in Gilbert and he presided at our stake conference. He gave a short introduction message and this is what I remember from it:
1 Kings 19:9-13 Elijah was fearful because Jezebel wants to take his life. Just as the Spirit enlightened Elijah, the Spirit will enlighten me and guide me as to what I should do in my life.
President Smithson of the White Mountain Stake Presidency
He spoke about the Covenant Path and having Faith in the Savior.
The Abrahamic Covenant - Let God Prevail in our lives.
Gathering, Jacob 5:61. We must labor with Christ in helping to gather Israel and preparing for His Second Coming. Jacob 5:71 - this is the last time He will gather us. DC 98:37 - And I, the Lord, would fight their battles, and their children's battles, and their children's children's, until they had avenged themselves on all their enemies, to the third and fourth generation. Let God Prevail, Here Him, and use our energy to gather Israel.
Sister Brandon, Relief Society President of the Lakeside ward.
I want to be a first responder as to things of the Spirit. I want to act on promptings and feel of His love for others. I want to serve as He serves and love as He loves. Sister Brandon and her presidency make weekly visits to the homes of the sisters in their ward on Tuesday evenings.
What are my gifts in the work of salvation?
Be united as separate parts in the body of Christ. It takes all of the body of Christ to serve in our wards and stakes.
President Gardner, an Elder's Quorum President.
When it comes to ministering don't ask what you can do, just do something.
He recommended President Nelson's book, "Accomplishing the Impossible."
Sister Smith, of the Scottsdale, Az Mission.
Invitations are key. Family history and missionary work are the same thing. Grateful for the followers of Christ in the White Mountains.
President Smith, President of the Scottsdale Mission.
Spoke about the importance of priesthood keys.
Elder Jay Anderson
What is the greatest thing I can do as a ministering sister?
Will the sisters I minister to reach out to me in their time of need?
Handbook 3.4.1.1 Priesthood keys - delegated authority.
Video. United in one work.
James stopped at Walmart on the way home and picked up a birthday gift for Lanel Wilhelm who turns 3 tomorrow. When he got home he did not have time to go back to the Vernon building so he watched the adult session of stake conference at home with me on my phone.
Adult Session
Elder Jay Anderson Of the Seventy.
Talked about Pres. Nelson's talk, "Christ is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains."
President Alder Of the White Mountain Stake.
What is the Lord's view of the rising generation?
Do we foster the potential of youth.
President Nelson's quote from the 2018 fireside about the Lord's Youth Battalion.
Make Homes a Sanctuary of Faith:
1. Be good examples. John 5:19.
2. Give youth opportunities to grow.
3. Follow the Children & Youth Program.
4. Teach the gospel with purpose.
5. Help youth feel comfortable confiding in you and coming to you with questions.
Love the, see youth as the Lord sees them.
Sister Erika LeSueur, Stake YW President
When she was 18 she was hired as a Nanny by a family that was a wonderful example to her.
Do, then Invite to Come and Follow.
Jesus said, I am the Light ye shall hold up.
Who helped me and set an example for me?
All hands on deck!
Sister LeSueur challenged us to read the Children & Youth Program.
Brother Morris, of the Stake High Council.
Youth are our future!
Do the little things, and know that they can do hard things.
Alma 32:27 - But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.
Sister with four boys. She seemed like she was struggling a little but she has a strong testimony. She loves Lucy Mack Smith and wants to have the kind of faith that Lucy had. She wants the very best for her four boys.
"Called To Serve Him"
Elder Jay Anderson, Of the Seventy.
How can we impact youth?
Answers from the audience:
- Love them and expect them to do hard things.
- Listen to them and be there for them.
Elder Anderson talked about his great grandmother who he called his "gramma great."
DC - Esteem each brother as himself.
Are you willing to let God prevail in your life?
The Lord will fight our battles to the third and fourth generation.
John 21:3 - Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
(Jesus appears to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, He says, Feed my sheep.)
President and Sister Smith, Of the Scottsdale Mission.
President and Sister Seaman, Of the Snowflake Temple Presidency.
D&C 15:4-6
4 For many times you have desired of me to know that which would be of the most worth unto you.
5 Behold, blessed are you for this thing, and for speaking my words which I have given you according to my commandments.
6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen.
After conference was over I watched the newest Hallmark movie, "Right in Front of Me" while walking. James is stressed about taxes, etc., so he worked while I walked and watched.
I would love to have this one.
