President Boyd K. Packer: Most things of great worth come only through fasting, prayer and the holy spirit. An eternal truth: "God loves us. we are his children. He is our Father". Of all the names he could be known by, he chose FATHER.
Elder William R. Walker: It would benefit your family if we shared our Conversion Story with our family (children/grandchildren). I especially liked this idea and would like to see us do this at our Family Reunion this year as the Testimony meeting. Therefore, Charlene could we do this?
Elder L. Tom Perry: Talked about the Eternal Nature of the Family. A team of horses must know who is in charge. The LORD is in charge. He knows best. An obedient horse is part of a strong team. Be ready to receive the gentle tug of the Spirit. James 3:3. We must be ready to entirely change our course when the Master gives us a gentle tug. see the 3rd article of faith. He (Elder Perry) challenges us to be faithful through obedience. Obedience is a choice. It is the spiritual bit in our mouth.
Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge: Opposition, criticism and antagonism are companions to the TRUTH. There will always be a force to oppose it. There will always be an effort to deceive, derail, oppose and frustrate the PLAN of LIFE. The FAMILY is the pattern of heaven.
Elder Michael John U. Teh: The world has a lot to offer. It is critical to learn when we have enough (possessions/money etc). Do we fail to see the folly of our pursuit of those things that are trivial.
The most important things to pursue: 1. The Christlike attributes of Faith, Hope and Charity-become like a little child. 2. Strengthen Family Relations. 3. Service to others. 4. Understand the doctrine of Christ.
Elder Markus A. Aidukaitis: The internet has a lot to offer us. Satan wants to distract us by getting us to wade through garbage (on the internet). ONE SHOULD NOT ROAM THROUGH GARBAGE. Seek for knowledge out of the best books by study and faith. We can find truth by experimenting upon the word itself. God will reveal truth to those who seek it.
Elder D. Todd Christofferson: The disciples became eyewitnesses of the resurrection of Christ. Because he was resurrected, he had to be a GOD. An atheist telling a friend upon seeing his late wife "It is she but it is not she. What is the difference if it is not the soul".
President Thomas S. Monson: May we resolve to do better than in the past. May we follow his example. May we constantly nourish our testimonies.
Love to all,
Uncle Brent
