    I once again had the privilege of having President Eyring speak in Elders Quorum. I missed a good chunk of what he said because I was helping to set Alyssa apart as the Beehive class secretary. I missed whatever question someone had asked him but I was impacted by the stories he told and his…

    Where and if we feel the Spirit depends upon us. Two different converts wrote to President Eyring worried that if their faith wasn’t shored up they might succumb to their challenges and lose their faith. Those who recognize the withering of their faith are the blessed ones because they recognize their loss which is better…

    When our faith in Jesus Christ leads us to qualify for the joy of His forgiveness, we feel a desire to serve others for Him. I think that is the most universal manifestation of feeling the Spirit – the outward desire to impart to others. There are 31 women and girls in our family, beginning…

    We all need reassurances in new callings just as our new apostles will need. We ask need to have the Lord add His power to our efforts. I’ll bet that his new-deacon grandson is Alex. I need to review the gap in this talk that took place while our broadcast froze. “God will add His…

    All of us must speak and act in the name of God in moments when our unaided judgment will fail us. We do not have to cry out to him with many words … what we need to do is come before Him often and recognize Him. Get that entire quote. It is easier to…

    How can we be worthy of these blessings when there are more poor people in the world than ever before? I like the implications of the statement that we are to break off every yolk. What we should do when dealing with people is to seek to free them from burdens that oppress them temporally…

    My message to you tonight is that you can and must be an important part of His giving comfort to those who need comfort. You can play your part best if you know more of how He answers those prayers for help. Is it “you must” for your sake, for His sake, or for their…

Seasoned priesthood holders can help holders of the Aaronic priesthood by entrusting them with responsibilities.
