Conference Notes
Help from Heaven
President Oaks spoke about the things Heavenly Father gives us to help us choose the right. Our strongest help is our Savior, Jesus Christ. Because of Him, we can be forgiven and live again after we die. Heavenly Father also gives us commandments, ordinances and covenants, and the Holy Ghost to help and guide us.
Draw one way Heavenly Father helps you!
Close to the Savior
President Eyring said that when he was young, sacrament meeting was held in the evening. One dark and cold night, he felt a light and warmth in the chapel as he took the sacrament. When they sang the words “O Savior, stay this night with me,” he felt the Savior’s love and closeness through the Holy Ghost.
Draw one way you can grow closer to Jesus Christ.
Believe, Belong, Become
Sister Wright shared how we can become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ. We can believe in Him by learning about Him and feeling the Holy Ghost. We can belong to Jesus Christ and His Church by making and keeping covenants. And we can become like Him by following His example.
A Special Gift
Elder Kearon spoke about the worldwide tradition of giving gifts. Even penguins give shiny pebbles to each other as a gifts! One important gift from Heavenly Father is knowing is that we really are His cherished daughters and His precious sons. When we truly receive this gift, we can know who we are and how completely we are loved.
A Starry Sky
Elder Tai and his family once camped under the stars. His children asked why they couldn’t see stars back home. He explained that pollution made it hard to see the stars. Distractions and temptations can cloud our spiritual vision. But with faith, we can know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are always there.
