General Conference Yesterday (Part 2)

Sunday's General Conference sessions were pretty great!

Here are some of my notes:

Sunday Morning Session (April 3)
-Sister Allred (General Relief Society Presidency)
     -She spoke about how the church welfare system is to help allow those using it to become more self-reliant.
-President Monson (President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)
     -He recognized those that wake up early in the morning before school to perform ordinances in the temple.  I felt really good about that because my efforts were recognized by the President of The Church. :)

Sunday Afternoon Session (April 3)
-Elder Scott (12)
     -Express love and gratitude to your spouse often.
     -Marriage provides an ideal setting to overcome any tendency to be selfish or self-centered.
-Elder Christofferson (12)
     -We should be willing to accept and even seek correction.
     -The Lord chastens us because:
     1) To persuade us to repentance.
     2) To refine and santify us to become prepared to recieve His glory.
     3) To redirect our course.
     -"Thank you for loving me enough to cut me down."
     -Eventually, we should become self-correcting.
-Elder Pratt (70)
     -Let us not be accused of robbing God.  Let's be honest and pay our debt back to our Father (Tithing).
     -Do not delay paying tithing.  Pay it as soon as it comes.
     -If we pay our tithing, He does not promise us with wealth...The Lord's richest blessings are spiritual.
-Elder Robbins (70)
     -To be without do is void.
     -To do without be is hypocrisy.
     -To be is never done.  It is not an event, it needs to be part of nature.
     -The most important way to teach "To Be" is to be.
Elder Grow (70)
     -Seek forgiveness from those you have wronged.  Forgive those that have wronged you.
Elder Holland (12)
     -Speaking of the purpose of General Conference and the role that the speakers play, that they are "under a solemn charge to issue warning calls."
     -"If we teach by the Spirit....We will send a personal prophetic epistle just to you."
     -"In one way or another, God will have His voice heard."

I can't believe General Conference is already over.  Every session just gets better and better!  I can't wait until October now!

What were some of  your favorite thoughts from Conference?
