Saturday AM General Conference: It’s Not BYU Football, So It Won’t Stink!
Turn off your cell phones and locate the nearest emergency exit, folks.
Choir is in white, auxilliary presidencies are in jewel tones. All is well. Ties look to be more red than blue, but we’ll continue our scientific poll as we go.
Biggest difference between conference center and your chapel: you can hear the prelude here. So far, minimalist renderings of hymn tunes.
This is Kristine, btw–mmiles, being the younger and more competent of us, is managing the twitter feed.
President Monson’s welcome: travels to temple dedications.
New ones:Hartford, CT, Indianapolis, IN, Tijuana, Mexico, Urdaneta, Phillipines, and Lisbon, Portugal
Missionary work: “Missionary service is a priesthood duty–an obligation the Lord expects of us who have been given so very much.”
Sisters, you can come, too, if you feel like it. (feel free to recalibrate your editorial bias meter now)
“We need many, many more senior couples.”
Elder Holland: “…my message today is to say that we sustain you, that we return to you those same heartfelt prayers and that same expression of love you extend to us. …we know that the Church draws incomparable strength, a truly unique vitality, from the faith and devotion of every member of this Church whoever you may be. In whatever country you live, however young or inadequate you feel, or however aged or limited you see yourself as being, I testify you are individually loved of God, you are central to the meaning of His work, and you are cherished and prayed for by the presiding officers of His Church. The personal value, the sacred splendor of every one of you, is the very reason there is a plan for salvation and exaltation.”
“I am trying to be voice for the very angels of heaven in thanking you for every good thing you have ever done.”
First mention of green Jello–mark your Bingo cards, kids.
“Smile, if you will, about our traditions but somehow the too-often unheralded women in the Church are always there when hands hang down and knees are feeble.”
“And to the near-perfect elderly sister who almost apologetically whispered recently to me, “I have never been a leader of anything in the Church. I’ve only been a helper,” I say “Dear sister, God bless you, and thank heaven for you and all the helpers in the kingdom.” Some of us who are leaders hope someday to have the standing before God you have already attained.”
