These are some of the things that stood out the most to me this conference:
- A testimony of the gospel comes in private powerful manifestations.
- It is sometimes easier to believe dead prophets than living prophets.
- The attitude of a teacher is not taught but caught.
- A consecrated life is full or work.
- When we experience tough times in life, we need to slow down and focus on what is most important.
- The key relationships in life are with God, our families, our fellowmen, and ourselves.
- Wrong choices diminish our ability to act in the future.
- There is no safer way to approach life, than by following the prophet.
- In temple mirrors we should see ourselves at children of our ancestors and parents of our posterity; we are to see ourselves home with Heavenly Father.
- Faith changes simple acts to great acts.
- The Book of Mormon is truly a prepared tool to gather scattered Israel home.
- Complete healing is found only at the Savior's feet.
- The Anti-Nephi-Lehi's not only laid down weapons that were to be used against their enemies, but also weapons against their God.
- Pride violates the two great commandments.
- It is impossible to be prideful if you are filled with charity.
- Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, but less about yourself.
- Pondering the scriptures means taking the time to think, pray, and invite revelation, after reading.
- We magnify our callings in the priesthood by letting the light of Christ shine through us and having the Spirit with us.
- More important than the words we speak, is having the Holy Ghost with you as you minister to others.
- Don't take detours because you may never find your way back to the right path.
- Christ is for us, Satan against us, so it is our vote that counts.
- Nowhere is mercy more manifest than in repentance.
- Lehi and Joseph Smith's histories parallel each other.
- We need both personal and priesthood lines of communication.
- Being grateful unlocks the doors of heaven so we can feel Heavenly Father's love more fully.
- Receiving the Holy Ghost is not passive but a call to act.
- Having an honorable name is better than riches.
- Satan is the ultimate counterfeit fisher of men.
- We should ever be found doing the work of the Lord.
