181st Annual General Conference
April 3rd, 2011
Sunday Afternoon Session
Richard G. Scott:
Two vital things to help Heavenly Father's plan: marriage and family.
Boys, show some ingenuity!!!!
Express your love, whether they "know it" or not. The reassurance does wonders for any person!
Be willing to give in; this will help to prevent many fights.
As a mother, you have been given the divine right to be mothers, nurture your children.
Have faith in the covenants, keep them so that the Lord can bless you.
D. Todd Christofferson:
It's not enough to go through the motions, you must/need to be willing to change.
Christ asks us to give Him our lives, we must dedicate ourselves to Him.
We must be willling to let Him correct us; let the Lord re-direct our paths to the right course if we have deviated.
As parents, you must teach your children by the commandments.
We must be tried of everything so that we may be able to hehold His glory. Put your trust in the Lord and you will be lifted up in the last days.
Thank you Mr. Gardner for cutting me back so that I may grow!!!! (Currant bush story)
Correction can come through others such as prophets, apostles, stake presidents and patriachs, and bishops. Correction may come from your spouse (Richard G. Scott story about looking at people in the eyes when talking to them). Parents can and must chasten/correct their children.
If we refuse correction, people-God or others-will cease to offer correction.
We must be willing to self-correct. Don't be overly critical, but know what you need to work on.
Carl B. Pratt:
We are taught by the example set by our parents.
The Lord remembers His promises, especially to those who pay a full tithe.
Let us not be accuse of cheating the Lord, pay your tithing first, before anything else, and not last. If you do so, everything that needs to be paid for, will be paid for!
Tithing isn't a matter of money, but rather it is about faith. The Lord will not always be monetary, but what we need most.
The Lord teaches us to live within our means on 90% of our income instead of 100%.
Tithing is a good prevention of divorce. Regular tithe payers are charitable and possessors of the pure love of Christ.
Lynn G. Robbins:
To be or not to be..."that is a great question!"
We must pray for faith, but we must have faith to pray.
To do's can be checked off or done, however to be's cannot be done, they must be you!
How can parents instill "to be's" in their children? Instead of congratulating your child on good grades, congratulate them on having the diligence to receive such grades. Children can learn through discipline, which come from the same root as disciple.
Our children are God's children.
Discuss Christlike attributes from your personal or family scripture study.
Be the example for your children that you want them to be.
Benjamin de Hoyos:
The name of the church was not chosen by man, but rather it was given to us from the Lord.
Even Christ had to suffer pain and trials as they come with little complaint.
C. Scott Grow:
The Savior's Atonement is available to all. He wants us to return to live with Him again.
Without the Atonement, the Plan of Happiness would not work.
The Lord not only heals the transgressor, but also the innocent who were sinned against.
Repent so you don't have to suffer for something that Christ has already suffered for. Forsake your sins!
Jeffrey R. Holland:
No one is assigned a talk; all speakers fas, pray, work, and re-work their talks, being guided by the Holy Spirit until each talk is considered "perfect." Each speaker is like a mortal messenger for angelic speakers.
Spread forth the gospel to members and non-members, children and adults, friends and family.
The gospel is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.
-Harold B. Lee
Be ye therefore perfect as thy Father who art in heaven.
*Bedlamites=little child (Jeffrey R. Holland)
Thomas S. Monson:
May we long remember the messages we have heard.
