This was a regional conference for Idaho
Elder Wilford W. Andersen I’m not sure who he was quoting – “Let us remember as we live our lives that the world of our parents are theirs, not ours.”
Quoting Joe Lieberman “It has been said that over the centuries the Jews have kept the Sabbath when in truth, the Sabbath has kept the Jews.”
Bradley D. Foster – A university study found that the more children know about their family’s history the higher their self-esteem.
Hebrew “father” means strength of the family
Hebrew “mother” means glue
President Nelson – When Elder Holland was doing his PhD he asked the University librarian (at Yale I believe) how many books in their library claimed to be delivered by an angel. After her search she brought him one book, the Book of Mormon. She told him that she had heard that you could get a copy of the book for $1 and then marveled that an angelic book would be so freely available.
What a busy 85 days that Joseph worked with Oliver Cowdery. Besides translating almost 600 pages of manuscript but they also received 12 revelations that would later be included in the Doctrine and Covenants along with the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthood. Scholars estimate that they had no more than 65 working days in that time.
“The value of the Book of Mormon isn’t it’s miraculous delivery,” but it’s power of conversion. If there were a simpler explanation of it’s delivery it would retain it’s value because of the lives it has and will influence to come unto Christ.
