Faithful Servants of the Lord

This weekend has been a spiritually full one to say the least! I love when I get opportunities like I have had this weekend. I had the opportunity to hear Elder Quentin L Cook speak at the Institute on Friday! It was the most amazing Experience! Saturday and Sunday my stake had stake conference. Elder Pierson from the Quorum of the Seventy came and spoke to us. Sunday evening was the CES fireside with Elder L. Tom Perry. Like I said a spiritually full weekend. This weekend defiantly added to my testimony, that the Lord has chosen such incredible men to be his mouth piece and to lead and guide this church, assist the members in their journey here on earth and aid in bringing others who are not members to this great gospel. I know these men are called of our Heavenly Father. These men taught by the spirit, This has made me so excited for conference next month! I just thought I would highlight a few things that I heard this weekend that touched me. These are all such amazing quotes and words of wisdom. I made certain words bold because I wanted to, it does not mean that the speaker emphasized those words.


-"Put character and commitment to the Lord ahead of everything else". He was speaking of choosing an eternal companion.
-"Don't limit yourself. Have goals!"
- We all want to be hero's, making the right decision whether it is hard or not is just as heroic as anything a hero has ever done.


Saturday Evening Adult Session
-When the Holy Ghost is present you get what you need.
-"You can NEVER make a mistake with out being warned by the Holy Ghost"
-"If you were told that you were someones Mother or Father, what would you do differently once you knew that?" Well you are someones Mother or Father, spirits on the other side have chosen you and someone else to bring them here and help them in this probationary time. They are rooting for you.
-"You are someones Mother or Father, live with that vision in your mind."
Sunday Morning Final Session
-Be Faithful
-"There is not a day to waste."
-It's time to stand up and stand out for what is right.
-Follow your impressions.. The Lord will bless you.
-"You can do it."
-"Don't let doubt plaque you."
-Once you know who you really are and you know you are a Son or Daughter of God and you know that The Lord is indeed your Father, prayer becomes instinctive.
-Have a desire for obedience.
