Who said?

When I work in the Primary for achievement days I would play the game who said? I wrote quotes that stood to me during Conference and had the kids guess who said it. They would get points if they knew the answer and with those points they would get prizes. Here are examples of those quotes from April 2021 General Conference. 

 

In spite of betrayal and pain, mistreatment and cruelty, and bearing all the accumulated sins of all the human family, the Son of the Living God looked down the long path of mortality and saw us this weekend and said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid[John 14:27]. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland 

 

“On this Eater weekend, my thoughts are focused on the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Resurrection gives us the perspective and the strength to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and those we love. It gives us the strength to endure sorrows, failures, and frustration. Because each of us has an assured resurrection, we know that these mortal deficiencies and oppositions are only temporary. “

 “God has given His children moral agencythe power to decide and to act. The most desirable condition for the exercise of that agency is maximum freedom for a person to decide and act according to his or her individual choices.”   “Our Savior feels and knows our temptations, our struggles, our heartaches, and our suffering, for He willingly experienced them all as part of His Atonement. All who suffer any kind of mortal infirmities should remember that our Savior experienced that kind of pain also and that through His Atonement, He offers each of us the strength to bear it.”President Dallin H. Oaks 

 

“The temple is a Holy place where revelation comes to us easily if our hearts are open to it and we are worthy of it.”  You may feel small compared to the great sweep of what the Lord will do. If you do, I invite you to ask prayerfully how the Lord sees you. He knows you personally. President Henry B. Eyring 

“Not throwing stones is the first step in treating others with compassion. 

The second step is to try to catch stones thrown by others.

Elder Dale G. Renlund 

 

“The gift of repentance is an expression of God’s kindness toward His children and is a demonstration of His incomparable power to help us overcome the sins we commit.”

Elder Ulisses Soares

 

“Christ’ s gospel is a gospel of second and third chances, made possible by His atoning sacrifice.”    "We all have something needed to contribute. Our journey to God is often found together. We belong as a united communitywhether confronting pandemics, storms, wildfires, droughts, or quietly meeting daily needs. We receive inspiration as we counsel together, listening to each person, including each sister, and the Spirit." Elder Gerrit W. Gong 

 

If you're not sure how to respond to a challenging situation, respond with kindness. Show kindness today and every day. Kindness is a fundamental healing process.

Elder Gary E. Stenson 

 

"To you, my dear brothers and sisters, and to all who are searching for answers, truth, and happiness, I do offer the same counsel: Keep searching with faith and patience."

– Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

Not throwing stones is the first step in treating others with compassion. 

The second step is to try to catch stones thrown by others.

“I Invite you to pray to identify the debris you should remove from your life so you can become more worthy. “Russell M Nelson.

 

Starting today, I am going to study each talk every week for the next 24 weeks.
