· We act when we fast and pray
· The Savior said: What manner of men ought ye to be? Even as I am.
Elder Larry Y. Wilson
· The right to use the priesthood is directly related to righteousness
· Anyone time we try to compel someone to righteousness is not God’s way
· We cannot wait until our children are leaving the home to allow them to make their own decisions
· We must teach them to pray and how to receive answers to their prayers

Elder David F. Evans
· We must talk and testify of Christ to our children
· Letters from home are not just quick emails
· Our missionary experiences have to be current. You have to continue to naturally share the gospel

· As we act on the promptings, miracles will occur and lives will be changed
Elder Paul B. Piepir
· Through a still small voice, he will testify of Christ
· That which comes from above is sacred. Light and knowledge from heaven is sacred
· Sacred things are to be treated with more care.
· The opposite of sacred is profane, temporal, worldly
· Secular is important for daily living, but you must place the sacred above the secular
· What greater witness can you have, than from God?
· Those who choose to abandon even one sacred thing, will have their mind darkened
Elder Neil L. Andersen
· What thinks Christ of me?
· Being a disciple in these days will be a badge of honor in the eternities
