General Conference Oct 2012 Sunday Afternoon
Robert D. Hales
Leave our nets to follow the Savior
Do you love me? Then feed my lambs and sheep
The Savior will make us equal to the work and give us the strength to do His will
I’ll go where you want me to go, I’ll say what you want me to say, I’ll be what you want me to be
Through His infinite love and grace we can become more Christian
The Savior spent His day lifting up the weary and down trodden
Christians cannot contend with other Christians
Richard G. Scott

Our mortal journey is steep…we need the gospel of Jesus Christ
All things are fulfilled by faith
Ann Rowley and sea biscuit story–waited upon the Lord and hoped for deliverance
Lead Thou me on
Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom;
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene—one step enough for me.
1)Unbelief or doubt will cause us to lose the Spirit
Faith precedes the miracles
2) Fears distracts

God is a God of miracles and changes not!
The future is as bright as your faith

What manner of men ought ye to be? Even as I am

5) Partaking of the sacrament worthily will help us be filled with the Holy Ghost

Becoming converted and
Our testimony is a personal witness of spiritual truths
Brings increased personal accountability
True conversion–any honest seeker can become truly converted
Conversion is an offering of self
Earnestly coming unto him with all of our heart might, mind, and strength
No more disposition to do evil, happens with a mighty change of heart
Line upon line, precept upon precept
We must have persistence and patience in conversion
1) Believing in the teachings of the prophets
2) Faith
3) Repenting
4) Mighty change of heart
5) Steadfast in the gospel
Do you keep weapons of rebellion that keep us from being truly converted?

As we gain a knowledge of the truth and converted to the Lord, we will not fall away
President Thomas S. Monson
We will be blessed as we take the messages into our lives and study them
Pray for President Monson
Watch over one another, do not be critical of one another
Pray for the inspiration of how to watch over His children
He is always on our side when we do what is right
It is during the difficult times that we learn the most
Be of good cheer, I have over come the world
May we emulate His example
