Sustaining of officers. Emily Belle Freeman called as General YW President.

Elder Dale G Renlund

Talked about tidal bore in Amazon River.

Unlike the Amazon, we can choose whether we yield to heavenly powers or ‘go with the flow.’ Going against the flow may be difficult. But when we yield to the enticings of the Holy Spirit and put off the selfish tendencies of the natural man or woman, we can receive the Savior’s transforming power in our lives, the power to do difficult things.

President Nelson: Each person who makes covenants in baptismal fonts and in temples—and keeps them—has increased access to the power of Jesus Christ.

Making a covenant with God is different than casually making a promise.

The term covenant path refers to a series of covenants whereby we come to Christ.

Jesus Christ showed us how to enter the covenant path by being baptised.

You shouldn’t identify yourself as a disciple of Jesus Christ unless you intend to represent Him well.

The covenant path leads to the ordinances of the temple, such as the endowment.

When we falter the memory of our covenants with God helps us to return to the path.

The covenant path leads to exaltation and eternal life.

Story about his grandparents and temple covenants.

As you walk the covenant path, from baptism to the temple and throughout life, I promise you power to go against the natural worldly flow — power to learn, power to repent and be sanctified, and power to find hope, comfort and even joy as you face life’s challenges. I promise you and your family protection against the influence of the adversary, especially when you make the temple a major focus in your life.

You are transformed and become perfected in Jesus Christ. You become a covenant child of God and an inheritor in His kingdom.

Elder Peter F Meurs

Moroni’s promise.

Millions of people have applied this promise.

Preparing to speak at his father’s funeral. Remembering his father sharing scriptures and scripture stories.

3 Nephi 11

Jesus taught the Nephites about the importance of repentance.

3 Nephi 17

The Saviour healing the sick.

Story about car accident. Giving 5 year old son a blessing. All injyred were healed over time. Continued to have deep feelings of remorse and guilt.

While assisting others to repent and helping them to feel the compassion, mercy and love of the Savior, I realized that He could heal me.

As I turned to Him, my feelings of guilt and remorse were gradually replaced with peace and rest.

Whether you are carrying the burden of unresolved sin, suffering because of an offence committed against you long ago, or struggling to forgive yourself for an accidental mistake, you have access to the healing, redeeming power of the Saviour Jesus Christ. I testify that He lives.

He can heal you.

Elder Randall K Bennett

Patrirachal blessings.

Knowing who I really was helped me understand and desire to do what God expected of me. This led me to study the covenants I had made.

It gave me an eternal perspective.

I studied my blessing frequently, often daily, which helped me feel the comforting, guiding influence of the Holy Ghost, who helped reduce my anxiety as I followed His promptings.

My patriarchal blessing also helped me desire to be submissive to my Father in Heaven.

That focus helped me experience great joy, despite my personal circumstances.

It was vital to me to receive my patriarchal blessing while I was young.

I pray that those who have already received their patriarchal blessing will study it and treasure it.

Cherishing my patriarchal blessing while I was young blessed me with courage when I was discouraged, comfort when I was fearful, peace when I felt anxious, hope when I felt hopeless and joy when I needed it most.

I testify that patriarchal blessings do provide inspired direction from our Heavenly Father.

Elder Craig C Christensen

3 parables – seeking out those who have strayed.

In the scriptures the word joy typically means more than passing feelings of contentment or even happiness.

Enduring joy or lasting joy often seems beyond our reach.

The joy we speak of is a gift of the faithful, yet it comes with a price.

If we really understood the value of true, godly joy, we would not hesitate to sacrifice any worldly possession or make any necessary life changes to receive it.

Repentance is the pathway to joy because it is the pathway to the Savior Jesus Christ.

It requires admitting that some of our thoughts and actions — even some of our belief — may be wrong. Repentance also requires change.

Alma the Younger.

President Nelson: When we choose to repent we choose to change.

Repentance brings joy because it prepares our hearts to receive the influence of the Holy Ghost. To be filled with joy means to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Our joy increases as we work daily to bring the Spirit into our lives.

Helping others repent is a natural expression of our gratitude toward the Savior; and it is a source of great joy.

Elder Evan A Schmutz

The doctrine of Christ as described by Nephi.

PMG sets out 5 elements of the doctrine of Christ:

• faith in Jesus Christ
• repentance
• baptism
• receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost
• enduring to the end

If we are to accept President Nelson’s invitation to have the doctrine of Christ rooted in the marrow of our bones, we must deepen our conversion to the Lord by study, prayer, faithful living and continual repentance. We must invite the Holy Ghost to engrave the doctrine of Christ ‘in fleshy tables of [our hearts]’ (2 Corinthians 3:3) as permanently as it was engraved by Nephi upon the plates of gold.

If we trust the doctrine of Christ we will trust Jesus Christ

As we study we will be filled with greater love for the Lord.

I invite you to make prayer a priority in your life.

Sincere repentance will become a joyful part of our lives.

Story of Travis and Casey. Trusting the doctrine of Christ.

In God’s perfect plan, suffering with faith in Christ is linked to becoming perfect in Christ.

Parable of wise man who built his house upon the rock.

When we have built our houses on the foundation of a covenantal relationship with Christ, we are trusting the doctrine of Christ and, as we come unto Him, we have His promise of eternal life. People who trust the doctrine of Christ endure to the end.

With all my heart I invite you to trust the doctrine of Christ.

Elder Benjamin de Hoyos

Dedication of the Kirtland Temple.

Rise of societies interested in collecting genealogies.

The hearts of the childern began to turn to the fathers.

The construction and proper use of temples has been in any dispensation a sign of the true church of Jesus Christ.

The Lord encourages us as members of teh Church to preserve our own family history.

As we follow the guidance of the prophets and learn how to do our family history and perform the temple ordinances for our ancestors, we will experience great joy to the point we will not want to stop doing it. The Spirit will flood our hearts and awaken our faculties to do it.

Let us remember that family history is more than just looking for names, dates and places. It is uniting families and feeling the joy that comes from extending to them the ordinances of the gospel.

The work of the temple and family history are one and the same work in the Church.

Elder Dieter F Uchtdorf

Parents – thank you for everything you are doing to raise your children. And children, thank you for everything you are doing to raise your parents.

God has given parents the sacred duty to raise their children in truth and righteousness.

My message to all parents is this: The Lord loves you. He is with you. He stands beside you. He is your strength in guiding your children to make righteous choices. Accept this privilege and responsibility happily and joyfully. Don’t delegate this source of heavenly blessings to anyone else.

Satan will oppose you, distract you, try to discourage you.

The Savior will help you, guide you and encourage you. Seek His help. Enquire of the Lord. Just as Jesus Christ is the strength of youth, Jesus Christ is also the strength of parents.

A parent’s love for a child is one of the strongest forces in the universe, It’s one of the few things on this earth that can be truly eternal.

He speaks to you and your child in a still, small voice.

Daily bread is best prepared and served at home.

Every moment is a teaching moment.

All things must come to pass in their time.

What work could be greater than helping God’s precious children learn who they really are.

God is eager to pour out his Spirit to guide parents.

God will help you see your children as He sees them.

I invite you to accept God’s offer to guide your family by personal revelation. Seek his guidance in your prayers.

All parents worry about not being good enough.

If you trust Jesus Christ with a humble heart he will make weak things become strong.

Does that mean you and your family will be picture-perfect? No. But you will get better. Little by little.

Our effort to build faith in Jesus Christ is home-centred.

I hope every youth will attend FSY Conferences.

Building faith in a child is somewhat like helping a flower to grow.

Patiently allow the rising generation to make inspired choices and let God work His miracle. The result will be more beautiful and more stunning and more joyful than anything you could accomplish just by yourself. In Heavenly Father’s plan family relationships are meant to be eternal

Jesus Christ is the strength of youth, Jesus Christ is the strength of familes, Jesus Christ is the strength of parents.
