Attitude is the Key!

Some of these are just paraphrases, but here are some of my favorite thoughts or quotes from Saturday sessions of General Conference.

-Elder David M. McConkie said that what matters most in learning is attitude and what matters most in teaching is attitude! I thought this was especially applicable to me now as I am a teacher in a few different capacities (elementary school, university, and church.) Having a good attitude is so important in teaching and really in anything in life :)

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said to remember the basic or fundamental principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are the key to living in harmony with God and man. They are the key to opening the windows of heaven to pour out blessings. Let us simplify our lives!

-Elder Neil L. Andersen said that, "The road to discipleship is not for the spiritual faint of heart." He asked how do we remain true to the Savior? We should become as a little child. Be believing as a little child. Be humble, patient, full of love, and willing to submit to all things which the Lord doth see fit to put upon us.
Don't get offended. Don't be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Keep the commandments of the Lord. As we choose to not be offended or ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we will feel the love and approval of the Lord in our lives. Then he quoted "How Firm a Foundation," The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot desert to his foes...I'll never, no never... forsake.

-Elder Richard G. Scott said "be grateful that God lets you struggle for a looong time before that answer comes because that wait causes your faith to increase and your character to grow." "Even in your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires, rather God will respond with what is in His eternal plan best for you."

I've loved all of conference that I have seen so far! I could write about all of the talks, but that would take a long time. I love the peace and comfort I feel when the prophet and apostles speak to us. I know that they are inspired to talk about certain topics. I know that we have a living prophet on the earth today and his name is President Thomas S. Monson. I know that he was called of God and that he receives revelations from the Lord to help us stay on the straight and narrow path back to our Heavenly Father.
