Conference Thoughts Sat Afternoon
M. Russell Ballard -
We should listen to our elders, they will not intentionally lead you astray.
Interns learn from experienced veterans who will pass on knowledge, skill, and understanding.
Those who cannot learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. This was repeated over and over again in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Prosperity, if not handled correctly, leads to greed, which leads to falling. This is generally seen in the collapse of morality.
It is also important to note that the choice is individual.
Are we letting the Sodom and Gomorrah's into our community? What about Gadiantons, Kishkumens, Cains, Lamans, Lemuels...etc? What is it that we should be watching for?
With all the technology of the world today, gaining a testimony still comes the same way it always has....
-Desire
-Prayer/Study
-Obedience
Quentin L. Cook -
Favor comes when we live the gospel. When we don't, it becomes a stumbling block for those not of our faith and also those within our faith.
All will receive glory. Those who do not earn glory are those who willfully choose to disobey the Lord and his ways.
No one of other faiths will go to Hell. They will gain glory according to what they do in this life. We, as members of the church of Christ, will earn our glory as well according to our deeds. It is, however, our responsibility to encourage all to obtain the most they can obtain, be the best they can be.
Kevin W. Pearson -
It is all about choice. We get what we choose. We can choose to participate or we can choose to hide. The light is there. We have to cover ourselves from it. We choose the darkness.

Live by faith, not fear.
Rafael E. Pino-
At times of loss and tragedy, it is a time we need to draw closer to God.
Christ suffered because of us, our choices. Was his suffering due to the loss of our eternal glory as well. When we choose sorrow, is that the sorrow Christ suffered.
Interesting point. The winds, rains, and floods, came upon both houses, on the rock and sand.
Richard G. Scott-
We need to visit temple more. Set goals and then follow through. Do not let anything shatter this plan.
When considering one that you will be sealed to for eternity, remember that both parties must want it. We should not think of marriage for the temporal satisfaction, but that we are individual going to the temple, making covenants with each other and God. Don't go just to make the other happy.
Don't ask why, but what am I supposed to learn from this?
Russell M. Nelson -
We learn how to pray from the example of Christ. Study the prayers he offered.
Christ forgives us as we forgive others.
He did not ask that we be free from temptation, but that we might not be led into temptation. He asks that we be delivered from evil. This happens when we pray continually.
