Jesus Speaks Today -- Through His Authorized Servants

What an incredible morning so far.  Messages have been shared from some of the Lord's appointed and authorized servants, the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  What a wonderful opportunity.

Some announcements were made this morning, one of which was that a Temple will be built in Tucson, Arizona!  I have been wishing for some time to be able to just live in the same city as a temple.  I can't wait for it's construction and to be able to attend the temple and feel of the amazing Spirit there much more often.

So far from the messages shared this morning I am feeling a renewed dedication to Jesus Christ and to more fully living His Gospel.  What a wonderful feeling.

Christ's Gospel brings me the most real happiness and peace in my life I have ever felt, no matter the circumstances and situations that surround me.  Nothing compares to the happiness and peace Christ offers if we receive it.

All are invited to come and feel of it's goodness.

You can watch General Conference live or afterward online:

Some of the topics talked about in this morning's session:

  • "And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" -- Book of Mormon, Alma 5:26
  • How to feel the Spirit, or Holy Ghost, more fully
  • Being an example of Christ by the way we live
  • Gain more knowledge -- of secular and spiritual things
  • Obedience and submission to God
  • The Temple should be the focal point in our lives
  • Holy Ghost and acting on his promptings
  • Little children do not need baptism
  • Life after death
  • Missionary service and efforts
  • Christ's original organization of His church, the Great Apostasy, and the Restoration of Christ's original church
  • Purpose of life
  • "You have seen our missionaries, you may have ignored them, you should listen to them, they will help you"
  • Spend time doing what matters most -- spending time with those we love, dedicating ourselves to God and His Gospel
  • Find joy in the journey
  • "Good intentions are not enough, we must do"
  • Be more happy now -- We determine our happiness
  • "Look less with your eyes and more with your heart"
  • "I pray we will not wait until we are ready to die before we truly learn to live."

Watch and learn -- Your life will be blessed -- You will feel uplifted --
Christ speaks today, through His authorized servants.  This is who they are:
Jesus leads us through His Prophet

  1. I thought of you when they announced the temple... it would have saved us a lot of mishaps (but also ADVENTURES) back in the day!
