General Conference Book Club Week 22: Elder Pearson

Posted in General Conference Book Club by

02_06_pearsWell, blog book club friends, we only have two more weeks left.  Then the following week will be the General Relief Society Broadcast followed by General Conference Weekend again. I’m quite proud (or “pleased,” as my mother would say) that we’ve been able to study almost all of the talks from the last conference.  It’s not often that I set a goal and stick with it for this long.  Cyber high fives.

This particular talk, “Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ” by Elder Kevin W. Pearson of the Quorum of the Seventy, was given during the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference.  I skimmed over it today, and this phrase caught my eye:

“Challenging times require greater spiritual power.”

That concept has been on my mind lately:  the whole idea that what used to be good enough is no longer enough– we have to try harder to be better.  I’m looking forward to reading more about it.

General Conference Book Club Week 15: Elder Andersen

Posted in General Conference Book Club by

04_02_anderAfter the death of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Elder Neil L. Andersen was called as the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles at the most recent General Conference.  This week we will study the first talk he gave as a newly-sustained apostle, prophet, seer and revelator, “Come Unto Him.”

In my opinion, this is one of the most important lessons we can learn, and I constantly need this reminder.  We need our Savior, and He is ready and willing to help us.  His love is incomprehensible and his power to save is without end.  I know He lives and I am so grateful to know of His love and care for me.

In this video, Elder Andersen affirms that this knowledge is a process and reassures us that we know enough to claim the blessings our Savior has to offer us.
