These are notes from a church meeting by Stake President McCann. Any misspellings and misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– Went to a leadership meeting with Elder Rendland.
– The church will succeed on the backs of our good bishops.
– For Christmas his wife got all the family movies copied over into a DVD. The family spend hours watching movies and soon determine which were the best pars of those memories that they wanted to watch over and over again. Best parts of family movies are the good parts. Those parts that were favorites by the viewer. The blessings of our lives of technology and the gospel could be considered the good parts.
– Prophets foresaw our modern time. The prophets described our time as the good part.
– Following the council of today’s prophets will determine our presence of the good parts of modern day.
– Nelson; Parents are responsible to teach the doctrine to their children and the church is there to assist.
– There are a lot of commercials from people, universities and business who want to change the world. That is the new mantra of the world. The prophets say we should be less concerned about the world and be more concerned about changing things closer to home.
– Remember the savior never went very far in way of mileage to change the world. He covered 50 to 100 miles. An area of 85 miles a distance from Orem to Beaver Utah.
– Christ chose to restrain himself to a very focused and centered area of space to change the world. Change the world by changing our homes.
– President Nelson says study the scriptures and spend more time and thought to God’s words.
– Each week there is suggests chapters assigned each week.
– Our goal is to have individual conversion.
– Elder Cook: stressed flexibility for each family ad person on how study can be implemented.
– Elder Bednar: sometimes some members of the church segment the gospel by creating lengthy checks lists to study and tasks to accomplish. We must be careful because checklists prevent us from drawing closer to God.
– Don’t’ worry about being perfect. You may have failures. That is too progress. Edison experienced failure.
– Take the time to settle in new patterns and new habits. Sometimes we may spend too much time to get it right we can miss the good parts.
– Luke: Christ was in the home of Mary and Martha’s home. Christ was teaching in the home. Martha was cumbered about much serving. Martha thought she was doing the best. She approached Christ to get Mary’s help. A Christ point out Martha is troubled about many things but Mary seeks the good part. Like Mary we need to find the one good part. The one needful thing.
– In our homes we need to sort and remove distractions in our homes and find the good part. Play those good parts over and over again.
– Do a little more in our homes the good parts of the gospel.
