2017 October General Conference Sunday Morning

Sister Bigham

How do we find joy in the face of adversity and natural disasters?

Focus on the Savior Jesus Christ

Christ felt our pains, loss, persecutions, hunger and abuses. 

We must trust Gods answers.

God is our source of healing and peace.

God is more concerned with our progress over our comfort.

We have divine potential and royal promise

Building testimony will be better in adversity than an internet post. 

Reach out to serve.

Elder Hallstrom

Man who fell off a cliff on Mt. Shasta experienced miracles of healing

Another 2 couples who died in plane crash didn't.

Has the day of miracles ceased?

Sometimes there is intervention sometimes not. (Dan 3:17-18)

Are we looking for the wrong kind of miracles?

Spiritual miracles are available to all.

Elder Bednar

Do not neglect spiritual priorities

Don't forget where we are going and why we are running

Sabbath, Temple, Homes can help us remember.

Change in our nature, little by little.

Covenants and ordinances are the means that God has provided

We dress and act differently in the temple.

Sabbath and Temple are both sacred spaces. 

We must bring spirit back to our homes

Don't be overcome by the mundane matters and become partakers of the divine nature.

Bishop Waddell

How do we respond when life provides unexpected paths?

Bro. Shumway blinded on D-day: job, married, bishop, patriarch, mission.

Hope and peace are always available through Christ in any circumstance.

We can only control how we respond to challenges.

God eased the burden of the people of Alma.  They turned to the Lord.

Brazen Serpent; those who looked lived

God will support us in our trials and troubles

Scriptures, prayer, blessings, professional counseling, and medication.

Elder Zwick

Look beyond what we can see

Look beyond assumptions and stereotypes

Offer a reason to hope

Lord looketh upon the heart

Elijah: They that are with us are more

We surround ourselves with those who see as we do

We should be kind but do not need to embrace false ideas

Jesus Christ at the center of our lives will open our eyes

Delete negative thoughts about others

President Eyring

Read the Book of Mormon daily

Sense of optimism and greater love of other

Fear not little flock, do good, perform the work that I commanded you and ye shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven

Teton Dam: where can we go to help?

Miracle of quiet courage

Pioneers exhibited miracle of faith to build God's Zion.

Yellow Angels: Mormon helping hands in Florida

Missionary Service

Greater courage and concern for others

The world will be in commotion in the Last Days.  

The Latter-day Saints will be worthy to receive the Lord when He comes.

Doubt not, fear not; pray always and be believing.

Be persistent and consistent in following prophetic counsel.

The best days are ahead for God's Kingdom.
