Primary children choir? CUTENESS OVERLOAD
They're gonna do it this session!
"Beautiful Savior."
NEW APOSTLES: Ronald A. Rasband, Gary E. Stevenson, Dale G. Renlund
"Search, Ponder and Pray"... fused with children's hymn I've never heard before...
Elder Robert D. Hales
^First man to mention marriage this year. Said some are hesitant to do it due to fear.
(addressing the youth and young adults)
"Never deliberately fly into a thunderstorm. I won't tell you how I found that out."
"Straighten Up and Fly Right"... Nat King Cole reference!
Don't buy things with money you don't have.
Talking about dating now... here we go...
"Have you observed each other under stress?" and many other questions.
"None of us marry perfection, we marry potential."
Please don't date through your 20s just for a good time; it holds back marriage.
Be that (spiritual, attractive, responsible) kind of person you want to marry.
I know you all have friends, but learn to "reach up, not across."
Where do you see yourself in 2 years? Remember, you're a pilot; you're in charge.
Dang, this talk is good! Although he really isn't lookin' so hot...
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
He doesn't look older, but he sounds a lot older.
Maternal love is Divine. Once they have children, their time is no longer their own.
Jesus died of a broken heart, weary and worn out from taking the sins of the world.
Can you imagine standing before your mother when you stand before God? Dang...
Think of the word "bore" as "to bear." To bear testimony, to bear our griefs, etc. Also to carry. True love finding the ability to carry another. A mother carries unborn babies with, wherewith they bear a child. GREAT anecdote about the homosexual missionary, by the way. Change of heart- not social conformity- is when we learn to overcome our anxieties.
Sidenote: I'm tired of argumentative social commentary of any kind. I'm done with it.
"Come Follow Me."
Bradley D. Foster
"I Am a Child of God" is a song about true self-identity.
"Our children are the largest group of investigators in the church."
Sometimes you use your words to teach your children and they only hear their words.
"Did you know Helen Keller had this giant, elaborate doll house? Neither did she." -Melissa Leavitt
"The Son can do nothing of himself, but what He seeth the Father do." Does this literally apply to all father/son relationships?
Children will learn when they're ready to learn.
Hugo Montoya
Smile. (I didn't know he was numbering off principles. Our internet went out.)
A smile to a friend or stranger can make their day. When you smile, it lightens burdens.
Express feelings of compassion to others. Tell people you love/appreciate them.
The Book of Mormon is the cornerstone of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Vern P. Stanfill
My roommate just farted and I suddenly cannot focus.
We choose how long the Lord's light will influence us.
Self-exploitation on social media gives you unneeded credibility.
The adversary will tempt you to stop trying (to feel the spirit).
There is no darkness so dense/difficult that it cannot be overcome by light.
"CTL: Choose The Light" (Andrea Christensen's response to this talk)
James B. Martino
God doesn't answer prayers just to satisfy your inquiries. He wants to teach you.
Not keeping up spiritual habits may lead you to forget the important, undeniable spiritual experiences of your past. It also leads to murmuring through trials.
Trials can strengthen faith and commitment to Christ.
Obedience, study, prayer and fasting are specific hobbies that change your behaviors.
This man is a convert to the church. He gained a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the Gospel because he came into wanting to know whether or not it was all true. Textbook Moroni's promise!
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
This Apostle has my favorite personality! He's talking about the Atonement.
His Atonement empowers Him to succor us so He can carry it all.
Mortality is full of frequent troubles and suffering... NOT caused by our sins.
Earth has no power that heaven cannot cure. Teenagers often experience the feelings of rejection. Singleness and depression were both experienced by the Savior. Even those in prison have come to know God, feeling forgiveness and change of heart after their crime.
Sidenote: Prisons aren't as much about making criminals suffer, but helping them change.
He calls addiction a "disorder."
God is the Savior of all men, especially those who believe.
"I Feel My Savior's Love." Now this sounds cute.
I didn't fall asleep!
Also. this was... The Greatest Saturday Afternoon Session I've Ever Watched.
