Jeffrey R Holland - quorum of the twelve - envy/jealousy/forgiveness
He told a story of some labors that all came to work at different times and worked everywhere from all day to just a few hours. When it was time to get paid, everyone got paid the same amount. His talk went on to dicuss that we can't be mad at the man that paid them for being kind. Don't be mad at what happened at nine when you are being rewarded at 6.
*So be kind, and be grateful that God is kind
*It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light that Christ's atonement shines
Robert D Hales - quorum of the twelve - living the commandments
*Whether we are young or old what we do today determines the service we are able to render and enjoy tomorrow
*This talk made me want to be just that much better each day, to try just a little harder
*Elder Hales challenged us to to have a talk with ourselves, follow our spiritual desires. Ask ourselves if we worthily partake of the sacrament and hold a temple recommend.
David S Baxter - quorum of the seventy - single moms
*While you cannot change the past, you can shape the future
**With God's help you need not fear for the future, your children will grow up and call you blessed, and every single one of their many achievements will stand as a tribute to you.
*In the kingdom of God there is no second class citizens
*Your perspective and view of life will change when rather than being cast down, you look up...that when you live to lift the burdens of others your own burdens become lighter. Although your circumstances have not changed your attitude has. You are able to face your own trials with greater acceptance and more understanding heart and a deeper gratitude of what you have rather than pining for what you yet lack.
Ulisses Soares - quorum of the seventy - Staying on the straight and narrow
*Promises made by the Lord to us are conditional upon our obedience and encourage righteous living
*Do my actions place me in the Lords or the tempters territory
Quinton L Cook - quorum of the twelve - Being in tune with the spirit
*When one is tone deaf to the music of faith, they are out of tune with the spirit
*Have the courage to refrain from judging people
*Family is the most important unit now, in time and eternity
**What we are speaks so loudly that our children may not hear what we say
Richard G Scott - quorum of the twelve - spirit of revelation
I didn't get to write anything down for his talk because I was rocking Jett to sleep. SO...what stuck out to me was that he stressed for us to be quiet and calm so you can recieve the spirit of revelation.
