192nd Annual General Conference -Sunday Sessions

 Sunday Morning 

D. Todd Christofferson

• No thought can be withheld from God. He knows all. And because he knows all, we need to Trust that he knows what's best for us. 
• Seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. He counsels in wisdom, justice, and great mercy. 
• Just because we're obedient, doesn't mean that the outcomes we want will come on the fixed schedule we want. 
• Things aren't so mechanical. The Lord's blessings aren't like a vending machine where you give the obedience, place your order, and receive the 'goods' that you 'paid' for.
• Rather than get Angry with God, get Close to God. 
• All things work together for Good to them who Love God. 
• We all have our moments where we can't be positive or happy. That's okay though. The Savior is with us in our high moments, but also in our lowest moments. He is in this with you. 

Amy A. Wright

• Christ will help us fix all the broken things in our lives. 
• No one's life can be understood through one magnificent moment or one disastrous disappointment.
• Make the Decision to Go Forth and Change.  
• You are not beyond the Reach of Christ and His Atonement. He can fix all the Broken Things in your Life if you'll Let Him.
• Forgiveness is one of the noblest gifts we can give to each other, and more specifically give to ourselves. 
• Deliverance from our Trials is Different for each of us. Because we're all going to have different solutions, our focus should be less on the Way we are going to be Delivered and more on the Deliverer Himself. 
• There is Nothing in your Life that is so Broken that is beyond the Power of Christ to Fix it. 

Gary E. Stevenson

• Love. Share. Invite. It's that Easy.
• Our Heavenly Father loves it when he sees us do Selfless acts of Charity. 
• When we show Christlike Love to others, we Teach the Gospel. 
• Miracles can come simply by sharing in a normal and natural way. 
• Sharing isn't about Selling the Gospel. 
• God doesn't need you to be His Sheriff. He wants you to be His Sharer.
• The Invitation to Come and See can Extend Inward to Ourselves. We can help ourselves be uplifted through Sharing.

• Cast Satan's influence out of your life. Do not follow him to his gulf of misery and endless woe. 
• A testimony that is not nourished daily can crumble quickly.

Afternoon Session 

Dallin H. Oaks

• ALL of God's children (with minor exceptions) will find kingdoms of glory in the life to come. 
• All the kingdoms of God are more wonderful than we comprehend.

• Always take the Sacrament so you can Always have the Spirit with you.
• It is always important to take the time to recharge your battery by connecting it to the proper source. 

Jorg Klebingat

• God won't force us to do Good, and the Devil can't force us to do Evil. 
• It is our choice. It is our strength being tested. Not God's. We will reap what our choices have sown.
• Today it is impossible to live our faith without facing scorn from others. We may be caught in the cross hairs of those advocating the "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry" ideology when we're trying to follow the teachings of Christ.
• Let us be confident, not apologetic. Faithful, not Fearful as we hold up the Lord's Light. 
• A God who makes no demands is the equivalent of a God that doesn't exist. 
• Let us joyfully live the Savior's expectation to live by Every Word that he's told us.

• We need to choose to Come. 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

• Measurings offered in the Lord's kingdom is quite different compared to offerings given to the World.
• It's not the amount, but the effect it has that matters. 
• Our offering may be large or small, but it must be our heartfelt all.
• It's not easy to balance yourself between all your obligations. It takes time. practice. patience. It even takes falling down a time or two. But if you succeed you'll soon not notice what you're balancing as it will become part of your life.
• Focus on your destination. Not just on pedaling. 
• If we want to find balance in life and if we want to have the Savior lift us heavenwards, then our commitment to him must not be casual. We must offer him our whole souls. It may be a small offering but we must offer him all of it.
• Finding balance in our lives requires letting some things Grow and letting others things Go.
• We all have things large and small that we need to sacrifice in order to follow Christ more completely. 
• What we sacrifice shows what we truly value.
• Sacrifice what holds you back. 

Russell M. Nelson

• The future is always uncertain, but our trust in Lord can always be certain.
• One Hour alone is in Thy Hands. The Now on which your shadow stands.
