How I #HearHim: Elder David A. Bednar
Here is another quote by Elder Holland.
“Stay in the scriptures.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Face to Face with President Eyring and Elder Holland”) The image was created by Jenae Nelson.
Article Faith 8 states "We believe the Bible to be the bword of God as far as it is translated ccorrectly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."
“Because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “None Were with Him”, April 2009)
This particular general conference talk, “Be With and Strengthen Them”, by Elder Holland is one that I rememember quite clearly. It talks about the new ministering that began in April 2018. Presidend Russel M. Nelson introduced the Ministering concept in the previous talk. It also talks about a dear sister that I use to visit teach when their family was in our ward. Elder Holland talks about her experience with cancer and her passing on January 14, 2018. I didn't go to her funeral services because I felt like I was fight a cold or something and I didn't want to spreat it to others. If I had went I would have seen Elder Holland at the services.
Remember we need to help others all the time. It is hard to do but I need to start doing it more often to my ministering sisters and others. May we remember to minister one another as Jesus did years ago when he lived upon this Earth.
God “rewards those who earnestly seek him,” so we need to keep knocking. Sisters, don’t give up. Seek God with all your heart.
...Again, no one would listen. The third floor was the same. And so was the fourth—that is, until they knocked on the last door of the fourth floor. When that door opened, a young girl smiled at them and asked them to wait while she spoke with her mother.
The story goes on. The young woman that answered the door was Harriet. Dieter F. Uchtdorf married Harriet years later. You can read more of the story.
(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Fourth Floor, Last Door", October 2016)
“We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner … and just by having fun together.” (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Of Things That Matter Most”, October 2010)
I remember Thomas S. Monson saying the following quote years ago in General Conference. Let us remember this in our daily lives.
I like this thought: “Your mind is a cupboard, and you stock the shelves.” Let us make certain that our cupboard shelves, and those of our family members, are stocked with the things which will provide safety to our souls and enable us to return to our Father in Heaven. Such shelves could well be stocked with gospel scholarship, faith, prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness."
(Thomas S. Monson, "Constant Truths for Changing Times", April 2005)
This is a scripture found in the Book of Mormon and in this lesson.
Come, Follow Me August 17-23 (Helaman 1-6)
