181st Semi Annual General Conference - Sunday Morning Session

Henry B. Eyring
1st Counselor in the General Presidency
Our Promises
1. Be Charitable
2. Witnesses of God
3. Endure
1. Charitable - those who give and those who receive will feel the Savior's love.
2. His Witness - "What will God have me do?" The effect of the Book of Mormon on our testimony, courage is certain in our sharing of it.
3. Endure - "savor the world as if time as stopped..." Have a fixed determination to keep His commandments

Robert D. Hales
Twelve Apostles
Our trials are ALWAYS for our good and our experience.
Joy cometh in the morning - we must wait (hope & anticipate) on the Lord.
Always "thy will be done"
Be kinder to one another AND to ourselves.
Be willing to submit to all that the Lord has in store for us - good and bad.

Tad R. Callister
Presidency of the Seventy
The Book of Mormon claims to be the word of God - all of it!
*Will it (anything) draw me closer to God or further away?
Why/How can the Book of Mormon be when we have the Bible? "Two or more witnesses"

Elaine S. Dalton
General Young Women President
A Temple marriage is worth our effort and our highest priority.
Eliminate anything evil from your life.
Honor the priesthood.
Show true strength - Virtue.
"You are not ordinary men" - speaking of priesthood holding fathers.

M. Russell Ballard
Twelve Apostles
We are blessed to take up on ourselves the name of Christ.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
-of Jesus Christ - His Church
-of Latter-day Saints - same church as the One He set up when He was on the earth
-Saints - His People, those who follow Him
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it describes who are are and what we believe. It is a name of distinction, we need to use our full and correct name.

Thomas S. Monson
Prophet
Moral is NOT passe'
We are responsible for our actions.
Our code of conduct is not negotiable.
The Lord's consistency is our anchor.
We will be entitled to the Lord's guidance through prayer.
Trust in the inspiration the Lord gives us - be worthy to receive it - Act of it!
Communication with our Father is necessary to weather life's storms.
