This year conference was especially good.
One of my favorite talks this year was given on Saturday morning by a member of the seventy named Elder Jörg Klebingat. There were so many important messages in his talk. I was writing notes like a crazy lady while he was speaking. Just one thing after another.
"Satan will always lie to you and try to chip away at your confidence and your faith..."
"You can not love God without loving his commandments..."
"The Lord knows your circumstances perfectly..."
I could go on. Let's just say I think Elder Klebingat is the next Dieter F. Uchtdorf. German and all.
President Uchtdorf also did an amazing job (as usual)
"If you want to recognize spiritual truth, you have to use the right instruments."
"God cares about you. He has given us the ability to know truth for ourselves. He will answer your prayers in his own way, you just need to listen."
"As your Heavenly Father to help you know the church is true and strengthen your faith."
"Our light will gradually dim if we turn away from the light of the Gospel..."
"We do not condemn others for the amount of light they may or may not have. We nourish and encourage all light."
"The church is a place of welcoming and nurturing, not of seperating or critisizing..."
"If you do your part, your testimony will become and it will be glorious."
"Do not delay a moment to strengthen your testimony..."
"A personal testimony of the gospel and the church is the most important thing you can earn in this life."
There were so many points I could focus on during conference that I just LOVE. Everyone did such an amazing job. Alot of my questions and prayers were answered this general conference.
"The father of contention is the devil, the Savior is the prince of peace"
-Elder Oaks
"Though we may disagree, we should NOT be disagreeable"
-Elder Oaks
"We should Love all people, be good listeners, and show concern for their sincere beliefs."
-Elder Oaks
"You won't be much help to others if your own faith is not safely in place."
-Neil A. Anderson
"Make your Faith a bonfire, not just a candle"
-Elder Callister
"The Lord said pray always, that you might conquer satan."
-Elder Callister
"Be more time oriented in the gospel."
-Elder Callister
"Make the sacrament a spiritual and meaningful experience.."
-Elder D. Todd Christofferson
"Divine aid is always there for us in every hour of everyday, no matter where you are on the pathway of obedience" -Elder D. Todd Christofferson
I have always had a testimony in this church. But I feel like general conference this year strengthened the foundation of my testimony remarkably. Now I can build my testimony in the gospel and in the church.
I love General Conference.
