Here are my notes from the 2008 Stake Conference, I was very touched by the words which were shared and feel that this will make me a better person because I was able to attend. I could really feel the love and concern as Elder Hammond and Elder Maynes spoke to us…
President Marcum – Be sensitive to the spirit, don’t just nibble on it’s power. Be at peace at the temple. Filled with the holy ghost because of the sacrament.
Elder Hammond – like a hood neighbor stake arms are there. 1st is a family 가족 para siempre. PTC – parent testifying center. If you do not doubt god will deliver you. Multiply and replenish, replace ourselves and replace our knowledge into our kids.
Elder Maynes – good to be active better to be faithful, establish Zion don’t just build the church. “Everyone wants to change humanity, but no one wants to change themselves.” Mere theory never saved anyone – Brigham Young. Theory + practice = results
Priesthood leadership mtg
Elder Hammond – Because I am an elder, that is why I will do it.
Spiritual reflex to say yes to every calling and need.
Elder Maynes – want keeps our youth active? We need to generate spiritual experiences. Our children are our investigators. Have the priests teach a primary class or any lesson to provide them with a spiritual experience. Ask our children to help give the lesson in FHE. Have them perform priesthood ordinance. How are we going to do it? Details not just theory.
