April 2015 General Conference -Sunday Afternoon

Robert D. Hales -Preserving Agency, Protecting Religious Freedom
  • As those around us make choices about how to respond to our beliefs, we must not forget that moral agency is an essential part of God's plan for all His children.
  • Remember this: it is not too late.
  • No one should be criticized, persecuted, or attacked by individuals, or governments either, for what he or she believes about God.
  • "The civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control conscience [or] suppress the freedom of the soul.
  • How we live our religion is far more important than what we may say about our religion.
Kevin W. Pearson -Stay by the Tree
  • "O God, bless me that I shall not lose my testimony and keep faithful to the end!"
  • We struggle when we are caught between competing priorities. 
  • Casual obedience and lukewarm commitment weaken faith. 
  • God's commandments are strict but not restrictive.
  • Faith is a principle of action and power.
  • When adversity comes, don't let something you don't fully understand unravel everything you do know. 
  • Be patient, cling to truth; understanding will come. 
  • Elders and sisters, you simply cannot return from your mission, do a swan dive back into Babylon, and spend endless hours scoring meaningless points on pointless video games without falling into a deep spiritual sleep. 
  • If you lose the Spirit, you are lost. Don't be distracted and deceived. 
Rafael E. Pino -The Eternal Perspective of the Gospel
  • The eternal perspective of the gospel leads us to understand the place that we occupy in God's plan, to accept difficulties and progress through them, to make decisions, and to center our lives on our divine potential.
  • It is extremely important that we do not make decisions of eternal value from the perspective of mortality. 
Neil L. Andersen -Thy Kingdom Come
  • God is mindful of every people.
  • Doubt not. Be not afraid.
Jorge F. Zeballos -If You Will Be Responsible
  • Men cannot really long rest content with mediocrity once they see excellence is within their reach. 
  • A person's word ought to be sufficient to establish his or her truthfulness and commitment toward someone else. 
Joseph W. Sitati -Be Fruitful, Multiply, and Subdue the Earth
  • Laboring in the spirit of charity is not a duty but a joy.
  • As we look to the Lord for help, we have found answers that bring peace and comfort, and we do not feel overwhelmed by these things.
Russell M. Nelson -The Sabbath Is a Delight
  • The Sabbath provides a wonderful opportunity to strengthen family ties.
  • Lifting others spirits will lift yours as well.

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

-Sarnic Dirchi
