188th Annual General Conference -Sunday Session Highlights

Sunday Morning

Larry Y. Wilson
  • It is an extraordinary privilege to have the Holy Spirit as our Guide. 
  • You may not feel capable in the responsibilities you've been called to do, but the Lord supports and strengthens those he calls. 
  • Sometimes it takes more than praying For people, but Praying to ASK what You can DO to Help.
  • Sometimes you need to Slow Down and work at Half Power instead of Speed Up and Risk Burning Yourself Out. 
  • We must properly tune our receiver to Heavenly Father's Frequency in order to Receive Revelation.
  • You are just One Prayer away from receiving the guidance you're looking for.
  • Ask what You can do to be Part of the Solution. 
  • Keep yourself ready to call upon the Holy Ghost fresh and active in times of peace, so that you're not scrambling to brush off the dust when trials come upon you.
  • Whosoever listens to the word of God and Holds Fast to it will Never Perish. 
  • Following the footsteps of others as they walk in front of us is never enough. Doing what they do and acting as they act is not enough. We must hold to the rod ourselves and keep our own testimonies strong. 
Reyna I. Aburto
  • You can only accomplish your goals by doing so one little wing flap at a time. 
  • We are all different yet we all can work together for the same common goal. 
  • We are all on this journey together. In order to reach our destination we Need each other. 
  • Our Path isn't about what we have done or where we have been but where we are going and what we have become. 
  • When we combine our Revelations together. We can see more.

Massimo De Feo
  • God loves Us with All of his Heart, Might, Mind and Strength.
  • Love is the foundation stone of all eternity and should be the foundation stone of our daily life. 
  • True disciples love to forgive because they know that the Atonement can apply to each of us.
  • Don't think of what others have done To you, but think on what Christ has done For you.
  • The real blessings aren't always what you want but what the Lord wants for you.
  • It was simple, true, beautiful, pure love.
  • You may not always be able to hear their voice, but you can always hear their love.
Claudio D. Zivic
  • To Endure means to remain Firm in your Commitment despite Temptation or Adversity. 
  • Let us Change. Let us Be Better. 
  • At times we move through life with sins that impeded our spiritual progress. If we persist trying to move forward with those sins, we lose the stability in our lives.
  • Some cracks in our lives require more effort to fix than others. Fix them now while they're small.
  • Success in the Lord's way has a Price. And the only way to achieve it is to Pay that Price. How grateful we are that the Savior has paid that Price for us.
  • Life is different for each of us. We each have a time of trials, a time of happiness, a time of making decisions. 
  • I love you. I am with You. Do not Give Up.
Keep his Commandments and we'll be alright. -Russell M. Nelson

Henry B. Eyring
  • We all experience tragedy during which we all need reassurance of the Spirit.
  • Come and See an Empty Tomb and know that the Lord has Risen.
  • Did not our heart burn within us while He talked to us by the Way and Opened unto us the Scriptures?
  • Abide with me tis Eventide, thy Walk with thee today has filled my heart with joy. Stay this Night with me. Oh Savior. Stay this Night with Me. Behold Tis Eventide.
  • Recalling the feelings that accompany the voice of the spirit is more memorable than any words we may have read or heard.
  • Obedience may mean to move quickly, it may mean to prepare, or it may mean to wait in patience for more inspiration.
  • How often are your prayers about the people you love and care about?
  • Great Ministers have qualified to have the Holy Ghost as a near constant opinion and have qualified to have the Gift of Charity to serve others. 
  • We are always free to choose as to what/who we let into our lives.
  • God has placed you in the way of others in order for you to serve them for Him.
Dallin H. Oaks
  • Because we believe the accounts in both the Bible and Book of Mormon of the Literal Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we also believe that a similar resurrection will occur for all mortals who have ever lived on this earth. That gives us a Lively Hope.
  • That Lively Hope gives us a Conviction that Death is not an End, but merely a step in Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation for His Children. 
  • Over time a series of Small things can bring to pass Great things.
  • The tiny thrusting power that can create cracks in your life may not be felt on a daily basis, but over time will have a bigger impact than one realizes. 
  • It's through doing the small and simple things that you invite the companionship of the Holy Ghost who can then guide us to eternal truths.
  • The Lord blesses with small daily miracles and over time great marvelous works. 
  • A small and simple thing is to be civil and cheerful in our interactions with others. 
  • To move upstream to our eternal goal, we must constantly keep paddling. It helps if we're part of a team, paddling together. 
  • Keep Moving Forward.
  • Just because the method is too easy doesn't mean that it isn't important. 
  • We must ever be aware of the power that the small and simple things can have in building our spirituality. At the same time we must be aware of those small and simple things that Satan uses to bring despair to the Children of God.
  • Patience for all things must come to pass in their time. 
Russell M. Nelson 
  • You can become great even if your beginning is less than ideal. Don't let your upbringing hinder your actions. 
  • Family can be one of the greatest joys found in your life.
  • Don't rely on others to give you revelation, seek your own revelation yourself. 
  • Good Inspiration is based on Good Information.
  • The Heavens are Open. God Speaks to His Children.
  • You don't have to wonder about what is true. You don't have to wonder who to trust. Through personal revelation you can receive your own witness.
  • Despite their best efforts no one can ever take away a witness born to your heart and mind on what is true. 
  • To minds that are willing to hear, learn and feel it's clear that Christ and Heavenly Father are giving away the secrets of the universe.
  • Increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation.
  • The Gift of the Holy Ghost Can and Will Change your Life.

Jean B. Bingham
  • What better way to prepare to meet the Savior than to be like him in ministering to others around us. 
  • If thou lovest me thou shalt serve me. 
  • Sometimes we think we have to do something grand and heroic to count as serving our neighbors, but the simple things can often have profound effects on others. 
  • No matter our age, when we consider how to minister more effectively hen we ask "What do they need?" 
  • After all is said and done, True ministering is accomplished One by One with Love as Motivation.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
  • Out of Perfect Love, Christ Gave All so that We might Receive All.
  • Yes there are many events throughout history that have profoundly effected the destinies of nations, but combine them all together and nothing can compare to Christ's Sacrifice. 
  • Christ laid down his life and took it up again for all those who believe in him. For all those who do not believe in him. Even for those who mocked and tormented him. Christ did this for everyone. 
  • Because Jesus owed no debt to Justice, he could then pay Our debt. He paid the Price for Our sins. All of them.

  • Our Burdens are lightened, our Peace Deepened when we truly Behold the Man.
  • As we look back and see the Divine Pattern we will come to understand that the dots truly do connect.
Gerald Causse
  • The Key to understanding the church to not see it on its outward appearance, but through it's millions of faithful members who strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
  • The Church is All about People. 
  • In our Service our original objectives may not be achieved by the end, but our perspective may have shifted so that new objectives were found and met.
  • What is most important in our church responsibility is not the statistics or reports but instead if the people have ministered to one another.
  • Are we active in the gospel or merely busy in the Church?
  • Ministering will not be about You but about Them.
  • While we may not need a lot of priesthood holders at church every Sunday, We do need a priesthood holder in every single home.
