President Peyton-
Who are the heroes of our children today? Are they actually good role models, or are they setting a bad example for our children?
No matter how diligently we search in other places, the scriptures hold the answer to all of our questions. The scriptures are the word of God, they will never lead us astray.
Sister Beazley (Anchorage temple Presidents wife)-
Media has dubbed this the "Mormon Movement" with all the political campiagns focusing on Mitt Romney's religion. Many reporters are beginning to finaly report the truth about our religion, they are realizing that there are many segments that have broken away from our church and are no longer apart of our religion.
Be the message (by living your life in accordance to the gospel) and be the messenger (do not hesitate to spread the gospel). Be the voice of warning, but also be the voice of hope.
President Beazley (Anchorage, AK temple)-
Repentance comes from the Greek word meaning to change.
We must have faith and go around doing good works (have charity).
Show by example; everyone can talk the talk, but you really do need to walk the walk. Be the first one to offer assistance.
Right up until the very end we will be asked to wear ourselves our.
President Duval-
Leave your burdens in the Bishop's office, do not allow yourself to be burdened with it any longer than necessary. When I went in to see my Bishop in Utah about somethings, he told me that he felt impressed to tell me that I needed to let go of the mistakes that I made in the past. That I had already repented of those sins and I no longer need to hold onto them. Even if you have confessed your sins, you can still hold back on forgiving yourself. You cannot do that, Christ paid the price for all of our sins, He wants to take the sins off our your back so that you can return to happiness. You are the only thing standing in the way of allowing those burdens to go away.
Take your agency back, do no let Satan take control of YOUR body. He doesn't have the luxary of ever receiving a body, so he is going to do everything possible to try to prevent you from having a body as well. Do not allow him to have that right!
Put yourself in a position to fix the things that your children need you to fix.
The Father loves His daughters as much as His sons; women are important, Fathers and Sons need to honor and respect their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters.
Elder Johnson-
Darkness cannot overpower light; darkness has to yield to light. When you are in a dark room or cave, if you turn on a flashlight, lantern, etc. you will instantly be able to see around you. As you move the light around the room the darkness will be pushed back so that you can see.
Spiritual light is like physical light; the adversary cannot overcome it or turn off our physical light. We have our hands on a dimmer switch; when we are not being obedient the light will become dimmer, when we are keeping the commandments and covenants that we have made, the room will be flooded with light. We are the ones that are in control.
That which is dark does not edify you. Eliminate the dark things that are in your life.
