Stake conference

Symbolism of thin blue line.

Law enforcers are often called things like "dead inside" which is contrary to the dutu that ought to be filled by members of yhe church of Jesus Christ.

It requires stretching of oneself.

Section 20 of d&c commands us to invite other, which feel as uncomfortable as an awkward teen asking someone on a date.

Trust ourselves a little less and the Lord a bit more.

Every person, EVERYONE is a child of God.

Like taking a first step, likely to take a long time, but will be worth it when it happens.

Testimony is an anchor to my soul.

Temple will bring alot of Missionary opportunities.

There will be a mission in Layton, UT!

We, each of us, must do more. Mostly by inviting others into our homes...

It is like the comment made about recalling what we did in our youth enabled us to accomplish great things today. It is because of all the good we have done that we can help spread the gospel to others.

We set a date and time and then inform the missionaries, not ask them first. We will be blessed, and if events take place to ready them to learn more you at a later date. We will have been successful, even if you are rejected.

Missionary work brings people to the church, but temple work keeps them there.

We do not have a preconcieved notion of what we are going to be doing, but it includes ministering, attendung to the wants and needs of others. Reminds me of Moses when he was leading the children of Israel out of Egypt.

A ward is successful when it does the duty of bringing others closer to God and they feel love.

Ministering is not done by "tossing verbal thunderbolts."

All that is good, invites to do good. Simple enough, so never teach without inviting to come closer to Christ.

To be a light to the world we need to improve do we have more light and need to minister to others. By others, it should not just be friends, family and church members.

When we ask for specific information or things, those things happen.

We absolutely NEED revelation to know what is true.

This harkens back to the previous comment about setting the date for the lesson.

Good information influences how good the revelatiom is. Like how he interviewed each brother although he had to pray and ponder them to know through revelation.

I feel like if I wish for the gospel to be shared and someone is ministered to...although, I cannot be there, I can do exactly that for someone else. I need to be Brave!! and minister as if I sm helping the one I pray for, I am almost sure someone is praying for the sisters I am ministering to.

When acting rarely does it only involve one person, so all must independently get the same revelation.

Love may be needed to be tested for more information to be revealed, this reminds me of a demonstration in the temple of a prayer circle, the spirit cannot be allowed to participate in our prayers unless we love one another.

"Lord, I WOULD follow you..." we all want to help but, knowing where makes different.

When prompted, 90% of the time it will be from the Lord. So, we need to act on these ideas 100% of the time. Until, we will "grow into being a person of revelation."

I love how he used it as a selling point to propose to his wife that he understood revelation.

If we obey one prompting, we will recieve more promptings.

Praying together increases our feeling we obtain the power of God.  This is dofficult to impossible in marriage and raising children. We NEED to be good a revelation to raise children.

It seems a Pattern We hear over and over so it must be significant.

1)be worthy, and the best we can be
2)ask for SPECIFIC want and need
3)a crisis is not the time to learn about revelation.

To know in my head is not to know in my heart, the sister reads and learns in her head, but when she shares her testimony she then knows it in her heart.

"Microphone makes me cry."

Put exclamation marks behind things instead of a question mark. You know them not doubt them.

Sometimes, it can be extremely difficult to just stand still. Seriously!

If we wait to be told things, then we are missing the opportunity...3 nep 17 & 18

Ponder the things that are revealed.

******Ministering needs to be done in the home!*******
