General Conference Tid Bits

October 2-3, 2010

“Spiritually Fed” is what General Conference is all about.  I wrote down my favorite ideas but I forgot I hadn't posted them yet.  So here they are.  It's better now anyways cause its a good reminder of the important things that I learned.


We are individually loved of God.

The world will teach our children if we don’t.

When teaching gospel principles it doesn’t matter how much experience teaching we have. What matters is our attitude to teaching and that we feel his Spirit!

The Spirit is not taught but caught!

Principles of good teaching:
1. Immerse yourself in the scriptures (personal scripture study).
2. Apply in your life the things that you learn.
3. Seek Heaven’s help (pray for those we teach, pray for inspiration).
4. Exercise agency and act on promptings received. Act right then!

SLOW DOWN! Do those things that matter most!

The most important relationships we need to work on are:
1. God: Learn of Him, need time alone with him through prayer and scripture study.
2. Family: Dinner, FHE, love is spelled “T I M E”
3. Fellow men: One person at a time, spend time listening
4. Ourselves: don’t criticize, we are God’s creation.

Make our homes holy places. Block out those things that remove the Spirit.

The road of discipleship is not for the spiritually faint!

We become what we want to become by acting in the ways that help us become.

Be grateful for trials that increase our faith.

We are in the middle of an important election. The Lord is voting for me, and Lucifer is voting against me, but it is my vote that counts!!

There are no perfect parents only perfect principles to follow.

Lucifer knows our weaknesses and faults and will try to tempt us in these areas.

Show increase in kindness.
