General Womens Conference

I stayed home this time and watched the conference on TV.  The talks were so good that I couldn't take the notes fast enough.  It will be fun to reread them.  I'm going to at least post my notes and just add that I testify that everything these incredible women said was true and good.  Nothing they sad could possibly lead us on the wrong path.

The first speaker was Sharon Eubank.  She said there were four things we needed to do. 
One:   BE RIGHJTEOUS. 
Two:  BE ARTICULATE.  We need to clearly express how we feel about the gospel and why we feel that way.
Three:  BE DIFFERENT.  We need to look for different solutions and different actions that coincide with the gospel.
Four:  BE DISTINCT. 
Five:  Live one through four in a happy way.  Keep the laws of the gospel building and lifting others.
She quoted President Hinkley saying "You don't build out of pessimism you look with optimism.  You work with faith and things happen"

Next speaker was Neill Marriott:  Her message to love, serve and forgive.  We are divinely designed to receive love and give love.  The Saviors love is a conduit to our Father in Heaven.

Joy D. Jones spoke about knowing that you are a daughter of God who gives us peace and courage.  Knowing you are a daughter of God will affect every aspect of your life and guide you in the service you render every day.  Spiritual worth is to value us as Heavenly Father values us - not as the world values us.  Worthiness is achieved through obedience.  Negative thoughts about ourselves is a trap.  Satan is the father of all lies and will lead us to misrepresentation about our own divine nature and purpose.  Stop comparing our worst to someone elses best.  Comparison is the thief of joy.  Be faithful in Christ.

The conference ended with Dieter F. Uchtforf who told us to remember who we are and that we have the spiritual DNA of God.  We have been given spiritual gifts and we have an eternal destiny to fulfill.  We have the power to choose both our destination and many of our experiences along the way.  It is not so much our abilities but our choices that make the differences in life.

Amazing conference and I'm so glad I listened to it.
