Goodbye GeneralPrimary Presidency!

L Tom Perry

mothers and teaching opportunity
his mother a great teacher - reference material all over table
best teaching in home ( more time) prepared to be example
lessons learned from mother:
parents entrusted with education of children
desk in kitchen while did dinner!
Memorizing scriptures memory become weak no idle thoughts
values morals taught in home
parents central cast members in lives of child
bring up child in light and truth
teaching in church to improve teaching at home and vice versa
no such thing as over preparing for teaching the gospel
Satans work more subtle andmore brazen than it has ever been


D Todd Christopherson

William Tyndale published Bible in English fluent in 8 languages
threatened power of the church

importance of scripture?
Enlarged memory of his people
-reading Smile to Boo-

Korihor- no moral absolutes (prevalent in today's society)
imagined a Jesus of social justice instead of personal rectitude
Central purpose to help grow faith help feel Holy Ghost
can have own personal copy is a huge blessing - must mean we need to be reading them now more than any other time

We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet!

Koichi Aoyagi

saving rescue by Elders admired them
parents opposed baptism
-Boo needs consoling-
postcard saves him

?

Ground effect engine stalled
commandments don't apply to us?
No! Keep commandments strictly
Jeroboam returned and introduced Satanic rituals
Naaman pride hurt, didn't want to obey
Nephi gets the plates- the lord will understand disobedience? No, but will help obey

David A Bednar

standing water ahead sign -early warning signals
Spiritual warning signs
Word of Wisdom- warn and forewarn
need to increase watching

reading and talking about Book of Mormon: only scripture Jesus testified of
youth respond to spirit- questions help to know what their challenges are

testimony
-Sita has various aches that need to be attended to -

FHE unscripted search together and feel spirit

act and seek learning

parents read seek and invite to act - will help see early warning signs

Jeffery R Holland

porn
it grieveth me
why so much moral decay?

-putting Boo to bed-

lust is unsavory most deadly Why?
Defiles highest and holiest relationships
lust is clandestine and celebrates self-indulgence
love shout from housetops (and GC)

guard against temptation
separate from circumstances and people
don't leave forwarding address
only real control in life is self-control
dull our spirituality
don't serve Tea!
Cultivate spirit in home

what was I thinking?
Think of jesus - oh Jesus thou Son of God have mercy on me
I will give place no more to the enemy of my soul!!!

Nearer my God to Thee

The End

teach them to fish
