Paused, good discussion about not judging each other especially as family
Choose to only say positive about myself and others - look for the positive

Carole M. Stephens
Our faith in Christ enables us to meet every situation
*read this talk again and again!

Bonnie L. Oscarson
We need to be prepared for the storms that lie ahead
We need to see ourselves as essential participants in the gospel
If we don't teach our children true doctrine, and teach it clearly, then the world will them Satan's lies

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Faith is being sure of what we know and being certain of what we do not see
There are more ways to see than with our eyes, more ways to feel than with our hands, more ways to hear than with our ears
Don't say listen harder, but listen differently
One sees clearly with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.
Two things faith cannot do. First, It cannot violate another's agency. God will invite and persuade, but he will never compel.
Second, Faith will never force our will upon God. The purpose of faith is not to change God's will, but to empower us to act on God's will.
We trust not only in God's wisdom, but that we also trust in his love.
In the end, all things will make sense.
Story - 2 missionaries didn't give up, etc floor, last door, mother just lost husband, young girl asked to listen, joined church, deacon in ward grateful for those missionaries who didn't give up
