Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Spoke about covenants [I was listening]
If I got this right, he said the visit of the Father to the Prophet Joseph Smith was to restore the Abrahamic Covenant.
We take on the Abrahamic Covenant by entering into sacred covenants in this life.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Testimony [and explanation] of Christ taken from Biblical Scripture
Purpose is to explain to the world that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.
Focus on Him not the things of the world. He is the Bread of Life. People who relied on earthly bread, including manna are dead - but His bread was for eternal life.
The culmination was the Resurrection and Atonement for the sins of the world.
When the Lord visited the Nephites he let them see and feel the prints in hands, feet and side. 3 Nephi 11
Atonement allows us to overcome the spiritual death and by repentance and obedience to have eternal life.
Jesus is the Light of the world - Savior of the world. - You can know it for yourself through the inspiration of the Holy Ghost - the way is desire and obedience. Seek and find, knock and have it opened.
[Elder Oaks is very personable in person]

"Real" missionaries.
Is that a "real" priesthood holder, father, member of the church?
Real life requires real learning.
Holy Ghost is the REAL teacher of truth.

Story about climbing Three Sisters in Oregon
Our teachings should match Holy Ghost's teachings
1. Holy Ghost teaches in a very personal way. Spirit teaches truth line upon line
2. Holy Ghost teaches by inviting, leading, guiding, showing. We come to the Spirit by being obedient. Cant facilitate opportunities
The question is not to ask what can I do to teach them but how can I help them understand and live doctrines.
We need real teaching and learning. Climb the mountain one step at a time.
Elder Kazuhiko Yamashita of the Seventy

Elder Randall K. Bennett of the Seventy
Trip to the beach, dangerous under currents. Feeling confident, he decided to stay in shallows and swim but current had captured him but he was dragged further, and further out. Lifeguard had been watching him and prepared where he would be and waited for him to call for help.
Pres. Monson has taught that decisions determine destiny.

Secret to a happy life is to do things the Lord's way.

Prayer is the way we reach our Father.
Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
We see much suffering and sorrow. It stirs us especially when we see innocent people.
Tragedy
Why does God allow it to happen? We don't know all answers but we know some principles.
1. We have a Father in Heaven who knows and Loves us
2. Christ, his son is our Savior and Redeemer
3. Father's plan of happiness includes an eternal life including great and glorious reunion with those we have lost.
Walking into the middle of a three act play can be confusing. We don't see the pre-mortal life or the eternities.
Refers to the Titanic - accident - we have also seen the evil exercise of agency in wars and 9/11
Titanic teaches us about pride and God is no respecter of persons. LDS connections to the Titanic. Alma Sonne - booked passage on the Titanic for missionaries. Elder Sonne cancelled all six bookings because one Elder was late. Elders thanked the Lord.
It will not always end in happy endings in mortality. Call the Elders and be blessed
Irene Corbett - Sister who chose Titanic because she thought the missionaries would be on board perished.
Evil conduct is a component of agency - we can suffer from the choices of the wicked. The righteous are not lost and the wicked will be held accountable.
Not enough lifeboats on the Titanic but the Savior provides lifeboats for everyone through the Atonement.
Elegy written in a Country Churchyard. by Gray
Sister Corbett will have eternal reward.
