“We must never allow doubt to hold us prisoner and keep us from the divine love, peace, and gifts that come through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.” (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Come, Join with Us”, October 2013 General Conference)
First Speaker
“All of us will be tested. And all of us need true friends to love us, to listen to us, to show us the way, and to testify of truth to us so that we may retain the companionship of the Holy Ghost. You must be such a true friend.” (Elder Henry B. Eyring, “True Friends”, April 2002 General Conference)
“Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us.” (President Thomas S. Monson, “Finding Joy in the Journey”, October 2008 General Conference)

Elders Quorum
The lesson was based on Elder Dale G. Renlund’s October 2018 General Conference Talk, “Choose You This Day”
“Our Heavenly Father’s goal in parenting is not to have His children do what is right; it is to have His children choose to do what is right and ultimately become like Him. If He simply wanted us to be obedient, He would use immediate rewards and punishments to influence our behaviors.
“But God is not interested in His children just becoming trained and obedient ‘pets’ who will not chew on His slippers in the celestial living room. No, God wants His children to grow up spiritually and join Him in the family business.”
Integrity is what you do when no one is watching.
2 Nephi 2:16
16 Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself. Wherefore, man could not act for himself save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other.
Why was Satan's plan of taking away our agency so enticing? Guaranteed reward is very enticing. We see people now giving up their freedom now because someone gives us something for free. It is said that Mussolini took power because he kept the trains running on time, but he did that by being a dictator. Hitler took power because he fed the people, but he did it by being a dictator. Both of these men gave the people a reward for giving them ultimate power and glory. Them having ultimate power led the people to misery.
