April 2015 General Conference -Sunday Morning

Thomas S. Monson -Blessings of the Temple
  • As we enter through the doors of the temple, we leave behind us the distractions and confusion of the world. 
  • In our lives we will have temptations; we will have trials and challenges. As we got to the temple, as we remember the covenants we make there, we will be better able to overcome those temptations and to bear out our trials. 
  • In the temple we can find peace.
Rosemary M. Wixom -Returning to Faith
  • Focus on what you know.
  • God guides you, you are not so much in the darkness as you think. The path to be followed may not always be clear at once.
  • Humility, faith, and the influence of the Holy Spirit [will] always be elements of every quest for truth. 
  • Come; we want you, whatever sage you are at, and we will meet you there. Give us whatever you have to offer.
  • Hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional knowledge comes. 
  • We do not condemn others for the amount of light they may or may not have; rather, we nourish and encourage all light until it grows clear, bright, and true. 
Jose A. Teixeira -Seeking the Lord
  • Seeking the Lord and feeling His presence is a daily quest, a worthwhile effort. 
  • I believe that as we deepen our understanding of the Savior, we will have an increased desire to live joyfully and a conviction that joy is possible. Consequently, we will have a greater ability to go about each day with more enthusiasm for life. 
  • Let us not leave for tomorrow what we can do today.
  • Just as "there is no good soil without a good farmer," likewise will there be no good online harvest unless we prioritize from the very beginning that which is accessible to our fingers and our minds. 
Gerald Causse -Is It Still Wonderful to You?
  • There are so many wonders in this world. However, sometimes when we have them constantly before our eyes, we take them for granted. We look, but we don't really see; we hear, but we don't really listen.
  • To marvel at the wonders of the gospel is a sign of faith. 
  • Our amazement also produces spiritual strength. It gives us the energy to remain anchored in our faith and to engage ourselves in the work of salvation. 
  • Never tire of discovering or rediscovering the truths of the gospel.
  • The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
  • The gospel is a fountain of knowledge that never runs dry. 
  • When we have the Spirit with us, our spiritual senses are sharpened and our memory is kindled so we cannot forget the miracles and signs we have witnessed. 
Brent H. Nielson -Waiting for the Prodigal
  • All of us are lost and need to be found.
Jeffrey R. Holland -Where Justice, Love, and Mercy Meet
  • How great, how glorious, how complete Redemption's grand design, Where justice, love, and mercy meet In harmony divine!
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -The Gift of Grace
  • God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastingly. 
  • We cannot earn our way into heaven; the demands of justice stand as a barrier, which we are powerless to overcome eon our own. But all is not lost. The grace of God is our great and everlasting hope.
  • With the gift of God's grace the path of discipleship does not lead backward; it leads upward.
  • Though we all have weaknesses, we can over come them.
  • Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God.
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

-Sarnic Dirchi
