Stake adult session

Music sets the mood, just everyone singing invites the spirit.

Spirit invited into home through just the display of a singular painting of the savior.

Felt the love and concern of hone and visiting teachers.

Obedience to commandments does not limit what we can do but instead allows us to do more.

Keep up the work and comittment of fellowship, even when change isn't apparent.

Letters from missionaries to family and friends is different than the one sent to father. That is a lot like our prayers.

"I had the faith but didn't  trust the Lord." This is often the lament of those who hesitate. But, instead think of Nephi and how he believed that a way would be provided.

Neverthless, not my will, but thine be done. An angel strengthened him. Jesus was not absolved, but strengthened.

Only eveough faith to believe in Jesus Christ is required to be bsptised. That puts a new perspectuve on a false offense taken by those who are denied baptism.

Faith is action.

If we fail to respond, we will get countless opportunities.

5 Pillars of missionary work.

Faith in God includes faith in his timing.

It is easier to build a soul than to save one.
1) find members - start looking in family then friends and coworkers.

Elder Haight asked if those who had ever been inactive, and 1/3 of people stood.

2)teach. Call elders if need be.

3)Baptize.

4)retention. What good does it do to baptize them if they don't stay.

5)Reactivation. The Lost sheep. No matter how good you are there are people better than that which are less active.

The Lord has prepared someone to do this.

There is something so significant about the gratitude expressed in the opening prayer even of this meeting. Every single person here is playing a significant role.

The Lord' s reckoning is not ours, so the fact that it is the last days means it is surely in his eyes.

If you think you can not take this, it is too difficult to bear, we are right. We cannot do it without the Savior.

It is harder to allow others to help us than to help others.

It is by helping others that we are blessed, so we can suffer so that others can help us heal.

This stake is a place where the Love of God is palattable.

Angels are deployed in our behalf when we give up to say " thy will be done". It is all about giving up our will...

You never even invited me? When you had this truth?

We do our part, the rest is his work, we must trust it is enough, to do our part.

Have the missionaries into your home, it will bless your children.

Leaders, lead children back to Heavenly father.

Mind the gap in the subway in London. This is an exercise of faith that the shepherds went to go see the Savior when they knew only where generaly to go.

We all have gaps in our lives between what we expect to have happen and when, then how and when it actually happens. Be willing to accept things and do not start to doubt, because we are in the gap. As sis Warner planned her wedding, but didn't  marry until 37.

Not only mind the gap but, accept that it is a gap, and it will be overcome.

There is something that captivates and physical beauty might be a part it is something more.

An understanding of all things comes from a desire to know (feasting)

The more we learn, the more we realize that we do not know.

Cry unto the Lord that is when our hearts are softened.
