"Carry On, Carry ON"
First Counselor Silvia Allred:
What helps me to be strong, to endure?
She spoke on faith -
recounting a story of a husband and wife
in Paraguay - who sacrificed everything to
go to the Temple to seal their family together.
After being sealed - on the journey home - their two babies died
They continued to have faith in the Savior and His plan.
Sister Barbara Thompson:
She mentioned Visiting Teaching (have you done it?)
She spoke a great deal about compassion
and the love of the Savior.
"Making a difference"
Jude 1:22
"And of some have compassion, making a difference."
"More Holiness Give Me"
Pres. Thomas S. Monson:
Gave an outstanding talk on
not judging or talking
about others.
We are all different,
we look different,
we talk different,
but the Lord loves us
as we should love
each other.
"The Spirit of God"
