We have had a great weekend.
This post is mainly so I don't forget what happened.
We had adult session of stake conference, which is always the best. We had 2 General Authorities who came. Elder Bowen opened the last 45 min up to questions from those in the audience. first off when he was giving his talk he told us how whenever we attend any church meeting we should have a question on our minds. This includes Sunday, weekly meetings, and temple attendance. The reason for this is how will we receive revelation if we are not actively seeking it. He also told us that we must receive the Holy Ghost. That He will never force the Holy Ghost on us, we have to choose to let it into our lives.
- If we don't have questions how are we going to know when God answers them.
- Thank Heavenly Father when you hear the answer
- Revelation requires work
-Ask to know what questions to ask - what am I not asking
some thoughts from the question and answer portion
- You will receive the Kingdom (degree of glory) that we desire
- When we do all we can then the miracle comes
a sister asked what was the most important thing to be teaching out kids
- The Proclamation to the Family has the most important stuff in it.
-The Holy Ghost will tell a Father and a Mother the same thing. If you do not receive the same answer work together until you do.
another questions asked how do you prepare good missionaries
- Teach them how to work.
-have them study preach my gospel
- cpt 8, 9, 13
I leaned many other things as well but these are the ones I really want to remember.
Tonight we played our kids favorite game. . . hide and go seek. This is the first time in our new house and it was so much fun. Then we found some LDS card game and the kids had a blast. Then at Jed's request we played duck duck goose. such a wonderful evening. Lots of laughing and many many smile. It is nights like these that I hope to remember always.
