186th SemiAnnual General Women's Conference Highlights

Sister Jean B. Bingham
  • Be generous in our thoughts and our words.
  • The greatest form of charity may be to withhold judgement.
  • Don't focus on the differences and the flaws. Focus on the eternal image and the potential of the individual.
  • We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness and contentment may we choose the right attitude.
  • Choose to say what is positive, in order to uplift others around us.
  • Words have power to build up or tear down
  • Sometimes we look at what others might have or be & feel we have less. Don't become too focused on the "Instagram" lives of others.
  • Be determined to look for the good in others and in the circumstances around us.
  • Love YOUR life as it is, not what you think other peoples lives are.
  • Allow others to grow and change, don't hold them to what they used to be and how they used to act.
  • Forget the mistakes and stumbling of others rather than holding onto grudges that don't help anyone.
  • Encourage others to Change. Allow them to do so on their own timing.
  • Everyone is doing their best to overcome the challenges coming their way. Be patient as they work through them.
  • Look for and embrace the beauty in others.
  • Look for and share positive things about others and let the 'less than perfect' fade away.

Sister Carole M. Stephens
  • If ye shall press forward feasting upon the word of Christ and Endure to the End, ye Shall have Eternal Life.
  • Don't look for perfect understanding within the Great and Spacious Building.
  • When we are desperate for help, do we forget to turn to the Savior?
  • Our Faith in Jesus Christ enables us to meet any challenge.
  • Look upon the Heart, not upon the Sins.
  • Christ meets us where we are, and understands our pain.
  • The Master Healer can comfort and strengthen us when we experience pain because of the unrighteous actions of others.
  • Hope and Healing aren't found in the dark abyss of Secrecy, but in the light and love of Christ.
  • Don't suffer needlessly for the consequences of other's sins. Leave it to the Savior.
  • Christ can heal the scars of what is unjust and undeserved.
  • Remember your divine identity and God's plan for you when things get hard.
  • The Master Healer can comfort and sustain us as we experience painful 'realities of mortality.
  • You don't have to bare my pain, someone already has."
  • Even in your darkest moments you can stand tall and bear Testimony and give Light to others.
  • You don't have to carry the pain caused by unrighteous others, alone. Nor the pain of mortal realities, alone. Christ can heal you.

Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson
  • We need never despair.
  • We need women who can detect deception in all it's forms and teach the next generation to stand strong against it.
  • We have the innate strength to resist the challenges in our lives.
  • The Temple holds a place at the Very Center of our Beliefs.
  • Even the youngest can rise up in faith and make a difference.
  • Are we fully drawing upon the power of those promises given to us?
  • See yourself as an essential participant in the work of Salvation and not just onlookers.
  • Confidently take your place in this work and Participate!! Your voice matters.
  • Get to work. The Kingdom needs you!
  • Imagine what one person of faith can accomplish!
  • Make your home a safe place to be able to ask Questions with confidence.
  • Some questions may not come in this lifetime. Be committed to a lifetime of serious study.
  • We must use sensitivity, but we also need to use our common sense. Be bold and straightforward.
  • Don't fail to teach correct principles to avoid offending others.
  • If we don't teach pure doctrine the world will teach them lies.
  • We must be careful not 2 live in such an atmosphere of avoiding the fence that our kids get caught up in the wire.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
  • You are never too insignificant to have a meaningful influence on others.
  • Activate the power of faith in our lives.
  • Faith is being sure of what we Hope for and Certain of what we Do Not See.
  • There are more ways to See than with our Eyes, more ways to Feel than with our Hands, more ways to Hear than with our Ears.
  • Just because we Can't Hear Something Doesn't mean there's Nothing to Hear.
  • Telling our loved ones to just "listen harder" may not be the best way.
  • Seek the voice that speaks to our Spirit and not just to our Ears.
  • Don't listen harder; listen differently. Not everyone discerns the Spirit the same way.
  • Anything Essential is invisible to the Eyes.
  • Faith is powerful and often does result in miracles.
  • But no matter how much faith we have, faith cannot Violate another's agency.
  • Faith cannot force our will upon God. We can't force God to comply to our desires no matter how right we think we are.
  • God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we'd hoped they'd be answered.
  • Faith is Trust. Trust that God Sees what we Cannot. He knows what we Do Not.
  • I had to trust and act accordingly in an unseen voice to arrive safely at my destination.
  • Faith is not only trust in God's wisdom, but in his love.
  • In the End, everything will Make Sense. All things work together for Good to them who Love God.
  • Faith comes to the humble, the diligent, the enduring. It comes to those who pay the price of faithfulness.
  • We walk by whatever faith we have.
  • If no one listens to your message, let it not be because you didn't make the effort to give it.
  • Have Faith. Be Willing to Work.
  • Be the Sunshine in Another's Life.
  • In our Search for Enduring Faith, in our Quest to connect to God's Purposes. Remember to Knock. Don't give up after the first door.
  • Knock until the Fourth Floor Last Door.
  • God is Real. He Lives. He Loves You.

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

-Sarnic Dirchi
