2017 Conference Highlights


I'm the person that takes notes during talks and church lessons because it helps me remember, teach, and reminds me when I was inspired. This conference, I was inspired by each of the talks, so I would like to share some of the highlights of what I heard.
(I will also link their talks if you want to watch them (highly recommend))



Here are some quotes that I jotted down:

1.  "Birth and death are just milestones on our way to Heavenly Father."  It's where we meet immortality. - Weatherford T. Clayton


2. "There is difference between sin and those who sin." - Dale G. Renlund


3. We were created to give, receive, and follow the light.

"Families increase in light when they increase in love and kindness."

"The light of Christ is as universal as sunlight." 



4. "Stand up, be different."

"Find ways to keep yourself unspotted from the world."

"Reach up."



5. "We embody Christ in who we are."

"Now more than ever, we can't be half-time disciples."

Be the same in a private closet as you are on a public square. 



6.  "He hears the songs we can't sing."

"The Savior has absolutely perfect pitch."

"Not all the voices in God's choir are the same."

Don't leave the choir. "You are unique and irreplaceable."

"There is a place for everyone who loves God and follows his commandments."

" Come as you are, but don't plant to stay as you are."

"God is determined to make of us more than we thought we could be."



7.  "Stand up inside."

"We were 'All-In' when we made the choice to be valiant defenders of Christ."

"When I get tired of walking, I can always run."

"Follow the creator instead of the crowd."

"Don't fear, just live right."



8. "The gospel is an eternal language that must not be lost."

"We are imperfect people trying to learn a perfect language."



9.  "Overcome the world."

"Have compassion for those who are different than yourself."

"The world loves those of itself."



10. Those who accomplish most, visually know what they want, set goals, and plan.

"The key to happiness is knowing what destinations are important."

"Short term goals are only effective if they lead to good long term goals."

Set goals in the framework of Heavenly Father's plan.

"To live eternally with them is not only our goal.. it's theirs."

"We are their work."

"Focus our plans to align with God's."



11. Know your divine self before you help others know theirs.

"Give them something great to imitate."



12. " Don't lose your faith because of those around you."

"The gospel is perfect, the members aren't."



13.  "The Holy Ghost binds us to the Lord"

"Act on the first prompting."

"First promptings are pure inspiration from Heaven."

"Be the first responder."



14.  He never shows us his time table, that's why weened hope and faith.

We must walk in order for him to direct us.



15.  He wants to change our nature/hearts.

"Our world will continue to be imperfect."

"Don't be paralyzed with fear, move forward with faith."

"We don't walk the road of discipleship alone."

"He has overcome the world."



16. "See people as the Lord sees them."

"Love needs to be present."

"Love should not be withdrawn if someone doesn't live up to our expectations."

"The Lord expects much of us because he loves us."



17. "He can make more of us than we can ever make of ourselves."



That was a lot, sorry! But there was so much good that was said!!
Hope you enjoyed!
