April Presidency Message

Recaps of April 2010 Conference:

Elder Ballard- 'Look to your faithful mothers for a pattern to follow. Model yourselves after them, not after celebrities whose standards are not of the Lord's standards, and whose values may not reflect an eternal perspactive. Look to your mother. Learn from her strengths, her courage, and her faithfulness.'

President Eyring- 'Heavenly Father has addigned us to a great variety of stations to strengthen and, when needed, to lead travelers to safety. Our most important and powerful assignments are in the family. They are important because the family has the opportunity at the start of a child's life to place feet firmly on the path home.'

Sister Beck- 'A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy things her heart yearns to do. Life is not calm for most women, and each day seems to require the accomplishment of a million things, most of which are important. A good woman must constantly resist alluring and deceptive messages from many sources telling her that she is entitled to more time away from her responsibilities and that she deserves a life of greater ease and independence. But with personal revelation, she can prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently.'

Elder Holland- 'Surely it would guide our actions in a dramatic way if we remembered that every time we transgress we not only hurt those we love but we also hurt Him who so dearly loves us. But if we do sin...we can be rescued by that same magestic figure, He who bears the only name given under heaven whereby any man or woman can be saved.'

President Monson- 'My beloved brothers and sisters, in our hour of deepest sorrow, we can receive profound peace from the words of the angel that first Easter morning, 'He is not here: for he is risen.'....As one of His special witnesses on earth today, this glorious Easter Sunday, I declare that this is true.'

How blessed we truly are to have a living prophet and apostles of Jesus Christ on the earth today. We pray that you will have a great desire to read and study, and to ponder their words that were spoken at conference. We know and testify that your lives will be peaceful, happy, and blessed as you do.
