President Dieter F. Uchdtorf
"Even though we may feel lost in the midst of our current circumstances, God promises the hope of His light -- He promises to illuminate the way before us and sow us the way out of the darkness."
"God's light is real. It is available to all! It gives light to all things. It has power to soften the sting of the deepest wound."
"It takes an act of faith to open our eyes to the Light of Christ."
"Open your heart to Him. Seek Him through study and Prayer. Come to His Church..., learn of Him and of His gospel, help each other, and joyfully serve our God."
Elder Neil A. Andersen
"The mortal life of Jesus Christ was filled with miracles."
"We are witnessing the miracles of the Lord as His gospel is spreading across the world."
"If you're not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint on on your heart..."
"For those using the Internet and mobile phones, there are new way to invite others to "come and see". Let's make sharing our faith online more a part of our daily life. Lds.org, Mormon.org, Facebook, Twitter -- all provide opportuniites."
Sister Rosemary Wixom
"One of the greatest influences a person can have in this world is to influence a child. Children's beliefs and self-worth are shaped early in their lives."
"To speak to a child's heart, we must know a child's needs. If we pray to know those needs, the very words we say may have the power to reach into their hearts"
"The answer to our prayer of how to meet our children's needs may be to more often technologically disconnect."
Elder L. Whitney Clayton
Sharing principles he has observed in good marriages
"They know that no other relationship of any kind can bring as much joy, generate as much good, or produce as much personal fulfillment."
"They keep their #socialmedia use fully worthy in every way. They permit themselves no secret Internet experiences."
L. Tom Perry
"Today we find ourselves in another world war. It is not of armaments. It is with thought, words and deeds. It is with sin and more than ever we need reminders to keep the commandments."
"Obedience to law is liberty"
"Next to agency itself, free agency is God's greatest gift to mankind."
"Each choice you and I make is a test of our agency -- whether we choose to be obedient to the commandments of God is actually a choice between "liberty and eternal life" and "captivity and death".
"Disobedience to the Lord's commandments will always deprive us of His blessings."
"The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change."
"They are immutable and unchanging. Men and women receive their agency as a gift from God, but their liberty, and, in turn. their eternal happiness come from obedience to His laws."
President Thomas S. Monson
"Throughout the ages, mean and women have sought for knowledge and understanding concerning this mortal existence and their paces and purpose in it, as well as for the way to peace and happiness. Such a search is undertaken by each of us."
"This knowledge and understanding are available to all of us."
"We learn obedience throughout our lives"
"Likewise the Lord has provided guidelines and commandments to help ensure our spiritual safety so that we might successfully navigate this often treacherous mortal existence and return eventually to our Heavenly Father."
"Obedience is a hallmark of prophets; it has provided strength and knowledge to them throughout the ages."
"The great test in this life is obedience."
"No greater example of obedience exists than that of our Savior."
"The knowledge which we seek, the answers for which w yearn, and the strength which we desire today to meet the challenges of a complex and changing world can be ours when we willingly obey the Lord's commandments."
Sunday afternoon session
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"The size of your faith or the degree of your knowledge is not the issue -- it is the integrity you demonstrate toward the faith you do have and the truth you already know."
"Honestly acknowledge your concerns but first fan the flames of your faith, because all things are possible to them that believe."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
"Jesus began His preaching by inviting His listeners to repent. That is still His servants' message to the world."
" Latter-day Saints understand that we should not be "of the world," or bound to "the tradition of men," but , like other followers of Christ, we sometimes find it difficult to separate ourselves from the world."
"Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice, but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies in all places and way of life"
Elder Christoffel Golden
"Our quest for eternal life is nothing other than a quest to understand who God is, and for us to return to live with Him."
"Nothing is going startle us more, when we pass through the veil to the other side, than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven], and how familiar His face is to us."
Elder Enrique R. Falabella
"Those who live the celestial principle found in the scriptures give comfort to those who suffer. They bring joy to those who are depressed, direction to those who are lost, peace to those who are distressed, and a sure guidance to those who see the truth."
Elder Erich W. Kopischke
"The feeling of being accepting by someone we love is a basic human need. Being accepted by good people motivates us."
"Seeking and receiving the acceptance of the Lord will lead to the knowledge that we are chosen and blessed by Him. We will gain increased confidence that He will lead us an direct us for good."
" His tender mercies will become evident in our hearts, in our lives, and in our families."
Elder Bruce D. Porter
"We need not fear the the future, nor falter in hope and good cheer, because God is with us."
"The Lord will stand by His Church and people and keep them in safety until His coming."
D. Todd Christofferson
"The Savior's Redemption has two parts. First, it atones for Adam's transgression and the consequent Fall of man by overcoming what could be called the direct effects of the Fall -- physical death and spiritual death."
"Because we are accountable and we make the choices, the redemption from our own sins is conditional -- conditioned on confessing and abandoning sin and turning to a godly life, or in other words, conditioned on repentance."
"As disciples of Jesus Christ, we ought to do all we can to redeem other from suffering and burdens."
President Thomas S. Monson
"We live at a time in the world's history when there are many difficult challenges, but also great opportunities and reasons for rejoicing."
"If we will put our trust in the Lord, He will help us through our difficulties, whatever they may be."
"I invoke the blessings of heaven upon each of you. May your homes be filled with peace, harmony, courtesy and love. May they be filled with the Spirit of the Lord. May you nurture and nourish your testimonies of the gospel, that they will be a protection to you against the buffetings of Satan."
