Choir: I Stand All Amazed

1) M. Russel Ballard, Apostle
We can find peace, joy, and happiness despite the troubles in the world. Christ the only Savior, must take upon ourselves His name. Many changes to Church activities made recently but don't lose sight of the spiritual reasons behind these changes. Do things with thanksgiving and cheerful hearts. Keep testimony simple and focused on Christ. Keep things simple - no extra meetings. That will help us find that peace, joy, and happiness. Is having trouble keeping up with President Nelson who is the only Apostle older than he is.

2)  Matthias Held, Seventy
Joined the Church 31 years ago. Moved to Germany as nonmembers. Wife felt that they would receive a message of some sort. Salesmen included. :D Missionaries came and they were baptized ten months later after a very detailed scrutiny. Mosiah 18 was the final prompt to be baptized.  Perspective of truth.

Choir & Congregation: Praise to the Lord

3) Neil L. Anderson, Apostle
Pilate asked Christ if He were the king of the Jews. "What is truth?" Pilate then asked. Eternal truths are absolutely true for everyone. The Holy Ghost helps us know the truth of all things. Family Proclamation. A warning. Contains eternal truths. Our premortal growth influences who we are here. It is okay to have honest questions. Don't walk away from the boundaries the Lord has set. Many of us have lives that don't fit into the Family Proclamation. Have faith, patience, and diligent. Laws of man sometimes move outside the laws of God.

4) Takashi Wada, Seventy
Nephi reminds us to feast upon the words of Christ. Feasting is a celebration of joy, sharing, thanking God, and building relationships. Lehi's dream, fruit filled his soul with exceeding joy. The words of Christ increase our spiritual capacity to receive revelation. In coming days, we will not survive without relying on the gospel (President Nelson). The scriptures help us know who we really are. Lift others through the words of Christ. Mother was baptized two years ago. Press forward with a steadfastness in Christ having a perfect brightness of hope...

5) David P. Homer, Seventy
Near air accident. Multiple voices compete for our attention; vital to listen to the right ones. What is popular is not always right.

Choir: Jesus Once of Humble Birth

6) Jeffrey R. Holland, Apostle
Gentle guidance on improving reverence and on the Savior's sacrifice for us.

Choir: Jesus, Love of My Soul
