1."Missionary work is the life blood of the Kingdom."
President Monson
-This is so true. And its not only about the missionaries all over the world serving, but it's for every single member of the church. We need to bring others the happiness we have.
2. "Fear not, be of good cheer; the future is as bright as your faith."
President Monson
-We all need to have perfect faith in our Savior Jesus Christ. It's required for us to obtain this perfect faith and with the help with a loving Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ it's possible.
3. "When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and power to overcome are enormous."
Elder Oaks
-I personally know this. Many times I have struggled to overcome obstacles that come through my life. It is so much easier to make it through these challenges when we maintain our focus and desire of who we want to become.
4. "Answers don't often come when we're on our knees, but while we are on our feet."
President Uchtdorf
-He is by far my favorite speaker and he proved to be it again this conference. I can answers now that I have never received an answer during a prayer. I've never had something come straight to me, answering a question a had. Every single on of my answers have been when I have gone out and looked for the answer and tried my best.
5. "Apparently, the gospel of Jesus Christ is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."
Elder Holland
-This one is funny but it's so true. Its when we think that everything is just perfect and we don't need any help and become prideful that we need to be careful. Actions always lead to consequences. Chastisement is part of life and to inherit the Celestial Kingdom we must have it.
6. "Don't resent the very thing that puts on the diving nature. A lot of our chastisement should come from within."
Elder Christofferson
-Here we learn just how important chastisement is. It determines who we will become in this life as well as the next. Let us all do as Paul and rejoice in our infirmities so the power of Christ can rest upon us.
Conference is a time when we hear from the Apostles and Prophets of our time who are called of God. I love conference time. Each time going into conference, have a question that you need answered and as Elder Holland says, "If we teach by the spirit, and you listen by the spirit, you will be touched through that spirit." I can promise that answers will come either directly through what these Prophets and Apostles say or indirectly through the spirit. It's our job to tune our hearts so we can be receptive to the spirit's teachings.
