April 2022 Conference Thoughts

 Russell M. Nelson
– we’ve covenanted to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel of peace
- we can control ourselves ~end conflict in your own life
Ideas to Maintain Spiritual Momentum
1) Get on the covenant path and stay there 2) Discover the joy of daily repentance – a key to progress
3) Learn about God and how He works – nourish your testimony, we need daily experiences with God
4) Seek and expect miracles 5) End conflict in your personal life – exercise the strength and humility required
- what has the spirit spoken to you? - life is uncertain, many things are beyond our control, we can control how we spend our time
- “one hour is in thine hand – the now”, only now we can do, we can bless others - there will always be opposition
- positive spiritual momentum – Seek the Lift

M. Russell Ballard – leadership = service, patience in affliction – I’ll make an instrument out of you

Reyna Aburto – RS not a room in a chapel – women accomplish God’s work by providing relief

David A. Bednar – Take courage, the Lord is on our side! – covenants and ordinances act like a compass

Neil L. Anderson – the blessing and challenge of the internet – what are the words I amplify on social media?

Eduoardo Gavarret – how do we maintain a mighty change of heart?

Larry S. Kacher – there is simplicity on the other side of life’s complexities as we remain steadfast in Christ

Henry B. Eyring – Come Unto Him – a personal invitation to come to Him for peace

Jeffrey R. Holland – Jesus really does want you for a Sunbeam!

Patrick Kearon – Will you make it through your own survival story? You can have a new beginning in Christ

Marcos A. Aidukaitis – we can all participate in the gathering

Gerrit W. Gong – we each have a story, do you know your story? (Family History – bring your family home)

Adrian Ochoa – the plan of happiness becomes more real when you’re helping others to live it

Kevin S. Hamilton – one of Satan’s greatest lies: :”men and women can’t change” – we can become new creatures in Christ!

Quentin L. Cook – What are the consequences of conversion?

Susan H. Porter – come to the Savior and learn

Rebecca L. Craven – boss your brain – choose to be the 99, stick together, help each other

Jean B. Bingham – we must choose to be anchored to our Savior

Dale G. Renlund – we’re all needed on the Lord’s team – The YW Theme

D. Todd Christofferson – covenants/blessings not a cosmic vending machine – don’t get angry with God, get close with God

Amy A. Wright – go forth and change, we all have something broken in our lives, trust God and His timing

Gary E. Stevenson – what we do is in our control

Michael T. Ringwood – Old Testament stories – the role of prophets in uncertain time testifying of our Savior

Ronald A. Rasband – If religion isn’t there to teach character, who will be? Champion the cause of religious freedom

Hugo E. Martinez – self-reliance – a doctrine, not a program – work with children to set goals

Dallin H. Oaks – exaltation is a family matter, we honour agency

Adyinka A. Ojediran – covenants and ordinances keep us aligned to Christ

Jorg Klebingat – “It’s a good day to be good” – be faithful not fearful

Mark L. Pace – your experiences with the scriptures must be your own, what is the Holy Ghost trying to teach me this week

Ulisses Soares – Ye are spiritually begotten – the children of Christ

Randy D. Funk – laws = safety – we need to choose to come into the fold of God

Deiter F. Uchtdorf – being a disciple is not one of the things we do, balance and lift come from pressing forward, let some things go and some things grow, sacrifice – give something up for something more valuable, we are asked to consecrate our lives, let us not be weary, we’re laying the foundation of a great work!
