Stake Conference

If you missed yesterday's post feel free to go back and read it.

Today we had Stake Conference where we were filled with the spirit and heard from many wonderful people. What I've learned today is even more than what I learned yesterday.

• As we make and keep sacred covenants, our lives are blessed
• Good will always result in good
• We have the right, the privilege to qualify for the blessing of the Lord
• Pray for the opportunity for a temple marriage
• Sealing covenant- You should be devoted to each other and do everything you can to make it work
• Be a covenant keeper
• Walk on the path of discipleship. We DO NOT have to qualify for it.

What is a disciple of Christ?

• Being like him and being one with him is our ultimate goal

To be true disciples of Christ (according to children) 

• You want to learn about Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father
•  Listen for his voice when you go to the temple, listen to conference, daily interactions with others, or even in the laughter of a child
• A disciple is like a leader. So do what he did
• Discipleship is all about learning and following Him 

Making and keeping covenants is the most important goal we can set

• Heavenly Father opens up doors and blesses our lives
• Things are never out of order with the Lord

Exaltation 

• To be where Heavenly Father and Christ are 
• Do what they do so we can live with them again

What do people do in temples?

• We make promised covenants
• Sealings
• Baptisms for the Dead
• Endowments

Initiatory 

One who receives an endowment  

What kind of sacrifice can you do to make time for temple and family history work? 

What does the word whatever mean to you? What if you changed it to four little words? "Do whatever it takes" 

• We are much more capable than we think we are
• The real joy to feel at the end of the day is to achieve our goals

How far am I willing to save a soul?

• Take time to meditate with the Lord alone. He will tell you the course
• Why we do whatever it takes it because we love Him
• See what God sees. Hear the still small voice of the spirit to be directed

Are we covenant keepers?

• Turn from the worldly things and turn to God
• If you are not reading the Book of Mormon each day, then please do
• Prayerfully pray and study the scriptures
• Without such faith, we go nowhere
• Choose you this day for who you will serve
• Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord
