Adult Session of Stake Conference
The Mission President’s Wife
She recapped some things that happened in Conference the last time they were here.
2 Nephi 5:26-27
26 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did consecrate Jacob and Joseph, that they should be priests and teachers over the land of my people.
27 And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness.
Prayers are seldom answered they way we expect.
President of the Utah Ogden Mission
Tonight ask ourselves who, when, and how.
Who will we invite, as missionaries?
When will we invite them?
How will we do it?
Then ask these questions to the Lord.
A high councilman spoke to us
Some one might ask you about a product or service or place and ask if you would recommend it to others or refer others to it.
Would you recommend or refer someone to the Church.
Acts 3:6
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
A senior missionary couple spoke to us.
The stake patriarch spoke to us.
A member of the stake presidency spoke to us.
38 That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.
Carry your own weather.
Dnc 59:7,23
7 Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things.
23 But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.
“Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.” - Robert Lewis Stevenson
“I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.” (Gordon B Hinckley, Ensign, Apr. 1986, 2–4).
2 Nephi 5:27
27 And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness.
“Here is a simple but powerful truth: living righteously and keeping God’s commandments make us happy.” (Marlin K Jensen, Living after the Manner of Happiness, Ensign December 2002)
