General Conference - Saturday Morning Session

President Thomas S. Monson
80,000+ missionaries serving around the world now. No new temples announced. (He looks thinner. I imagine the loss of his wife has been difficult.)

Elder Robert D. Hales
No topic is assigned speakers; instead, they are selected prayerfully by those participating. Conference is for all; include your children. As you listen, what do you hear and feel? It may be different from what was said. Trust in the Lord and apply what you learn. (He still looks ill.)

Elder Ulissis Soares (Brasilian)
Sister Carol Stevens
Missed their talks as I had to be out of the room.

Elder Edward Dube (Zimbabwean)
Always look forward, stop looking back. Blessed are those who keep His commandments. Look ahead and believe. He invites us to "come unto Me." (Love his Zimbabwean accent! But then, I love all the accents we hear in Conference - advice, perspectives, and spiritual stories shared by Church leaders from around the world is a real treat.)

Elder David A. Bednar
Subtle blessings can be significant. Blessings for living the law of tithing can be that way. Be spiritually attentive. (A Purdue alumnus!)

Elder Dieter Uchtdorf (German)
Douse your doubts before you lose your faith. The Church is designed to nourish those who struggle, and ALL struggle - it is part of being human. None of us is perfect, keep trying. There is a place for everyone and we are more alike than you might think. There is room for you - join with us. (A very insightful man with a way of speaking that makes you feel loved.)
