2017 October General Conference Saturday Afternoon


Elder Stevenson

Beware spiritual eclipses

Use social media to share gospel

Beware time wasting

Beware idealized reality and debilitating comparisons

Beware of pride

The gospel of Jesus Christ is our spiritual light.


President Owen

Repentance brings happiness, confidence and peace.

True repentance leads to commitment.

Repentance is for saints and sinners

We are all prodigals

Repentance is a lifetime pursuit

Do not procrastinate 


Elder Cook

Beware self-importance

Life is short like a British summer

Consider Christ's condescension 

Have we been sufficiently humble?

Humility is serving faithful in any calling

Beware self-aggrandizement 

Beware the natural man and calls for authenticity as an excuse. 

Men are given weaknesses to be humble

Humility is a sign of spiritual strength


Elder Rasband

God does not work by coincidence but by divine design.

Nephi was led by the spirit not knowing beforehand what he should do.

No weapon can frustrate God's plan of happiness.

God knows the end from the beginning.

God will orchestrate opportunities in our lives. 

Right devisions will foster Gods confidence in us.

Agency means we have a choice to follow God's divine design or not.

God knows what we are capable of.

God is in the small details and bigger milestones.


Elder Haleck

The poor widow gave all her living

The pacific saints show similar faith

Family suffered social stigma, employment

America Samoa contributed to building of their temple joyfully


President Nelson

Diamonds, rubies or scriptures; which is of more value to us?

Study the Book of Mormon: what does it refute, affirm and reveal.

Testifies that Jesus is the Christ

Teaches the doctrines of Christ

Restores plain and previous truths

Answers questions of the soul

Exposes tactics of adversaries

Refutes false doctrines like infant baptism

Proves the heavens are not sealed

We will receive answers to our own questions and overcome personal struggles.

Due to some medications I take, I fell asleep for the Afternoon session. Thank you for taking time to write these comments down. It has helped me out a lot! I'd love to talk to you and maybe add you to my blogs links section if you would be interested. Contact me at ken@simplykenneth.faith to discuss that!
