These are notes from church. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

  • The Holy Ghost is always there to provide guidance.
  • When we choose righteousness, we follow Christ.
  • The gift of choice is we feel the pain of our mistakes but the Savior’s there to help us.
  • If we stray we can choose the path of Christ again. Each time we stray we choose Christ’s path again.
  • We get to choose: the blessings that follow with a choice we are given the choice before mortal earth, we attended the great Council choosing what path would follow.
  • As humans, we often take the path of least resistance. Doctrine covenants 13 is a law in heaven on which all blessings are predicated. The blessings of God are tied to blessings from our heavenly father.
  • There’s a story of a man that was the branch president of a very small branch. In another country. He was told by his employer that you need to work on Sunday. He said he couldn’t. The employers said in a work on Sunday or you can’t work here. After long thought, he no longer works for that company. The missionaries had not been in that area of the country for a long time. But the missionary story went around neighborhoods asking if they knew the LDS members. This missionary showed up at the bank branch president’s house. You need to them that he was now unemployed is he would work on Sundays. The elders Lachine command no within two days he was high to work for the church.
  • Elder door was asked at the conference what is the greatest thing you’ve learned as a member of the 12 apostles? He answered the miraculous timing of the Lord repairing everything we need.
  • King Benjamin said you should do what the Lord commands and if you do he will immediately bless you.
  • We don’t tell the blessings immediately.
  • Told a story of her brother making choices that were not encouraged by her parents and other family members. Her brother did not go on a mission. Do not follow the same path. After years of trying to encourage him to do what they thought was right, they change of tactics and simply told him they loved him. Years later he did you to go on a mission. And while he was on his mission he became district leader. And is a source of good advice and counsel to the missionaries who are struggling. His counsel is some experience of his own troubled past
  • There was another story of where there was a wayward son. And after years he was given a testimony that he knew the church is true. The family was struggling and trying to sell their farm for years. As a son was sharing his testimony the mother’s phone rang. She stopped at 30. Again during the testimony, the phone rang to shut it off a third time the phone rang she went outside to build the room to find out who was calling. The precise time that the son said I know the church is true was when they sold their farm.
