General Priesthood Conference

Filed under: family — dto @ 5:06 pm

Elder M Russel Ballard

How to talk to the boy.

Help each other to be the best we can be.

Primary model of manhood.

Sons
1- trust your father – share dreams and fears. Entitled to inspiration

2- take an interest in father. Watch and listen and learn.

3- Ask for advice. Asking shows respect.

Fathers
A- listen to sons. Don’t assume feelings. Don’t be judgemental. Do what works best. At least one focused discussion per month. Use the word ‘feel’

B- pray with and for sons. Give blessings. Share testimony. Never give up!

C- dare to have the ‘big’ talks. Boys need counsel and guidance. Talk about sex openly and frequently. Talk about priesthood responsibility.

Elder Walter Gonzalez

Powerful priesthood holders

Use and read the BOM

Make and keep covenants

1- feast upon the words of Christ
2- Apply all that we learn about Christ.
3- Teach the doctrine and teachings from the BoM

————–
Yoon Jwan Choi

Become anxious to be obedient.

Love our boys – even If they are loud

————–
President Uchdorf

Keep hope and be optimistic.

Softening filter of experience.

2 Principles
A- Work. We all need it. The Lord loves the laborer. Don’t be afraid to do what it takes. Work hard. ( don’t compare with others ). Do the best we can. Be excellent.

Don’t put our goals off.

Endure joyfully to the end.

B- learning

Not just formal education.

Education is a commandment.

—————
President Eyring

When the call comes, will I be ready?

Preparations – families, quorums, personal life.

No fear

Do better every day

Want to do more for our kids.

—————
President Monson

Anger

Psalms 37:8

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Anger doesn’t solve anything. It doesn’t build anything. It can destroy everything.

Be a peacemaker and an example in the home.
