I went to Church a little early today. I had to do an interview before the main broadcast. I went with my sons who sat and watched the Music and the Spoken Word broadcast while I was in the interview. By the time I was done my wife was there with my daughter, and we all got to sit together (one of those few times in the year).

President Dieter F Uchtdorf conducted

The choir sang Jehovah, Lord of Heaven and Earth

Elder Gerald Caussé offered the invocation

President Henry B Eyring

• the Lord grants unto all nations to teach His words
• trust comes from knowing God
• be still and know that I am God
• he has revealed himself that we may trust him
• Latter-day Saints can be a light to the people

The choir sang Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd

President Boyd K Packer

• the Family Proclamation is 15 years old
• it is revelation and members would do well to follow it
• the devil can deceive or fool, but can’t force us to do anything
• the dreadful sin of pornography is like a plague
• the effects can be spiritually fatal
• the priesthood has authority to stamp out evil influences
• don’t look back, ahead of you is peace and happiness

Elder Jay E Jensen

• the gift of the Holy Ghost is one of the greatest gifts
• quote from President Gordon B Hinckley‘s 4 cornerstones
  • First Vision
  • Restoration of Priesthood
  • Testimony of Jesus Christ
  • Book of Mormon

Sister Mary N Cook

• we must be examples of the believers
• be an example in faith
• strengthen your own faith
• we need to show youth how to strengthen their own faith
• be an example in purity
• For the Strength of Youth is a beautiful tool

Elder Dallin H Oaks

• we have 2 lines of communication with God, personal and priesthood
• the personal channel is based on worthiness
• priesthood line is usually for governing the kingdom
• people should get their own communication in the personal line, not the priesthood line
• the two lines are connected
• you cannot have communication in the personal line if you are disobedient to the priesthood line
• some members fail to understand the importance of the priesthood line
• the voice of the Lord’s servants is the voice of the Lord
• the priesthood line doesn’t mean we do not need the personal line

The choir sang Love One Another

President Thomas S Monson

• do we remember to give thanks for the blessings we receive?
• we need to focus on what we have instead of what we lack
• while there are many things wrong in the world, there are many things which are good and right
• not showing gratitude is like wrapping a present and not giving it

The choir sang Now Let Us Rejoice

Elder Carlos A Godoy offered the benediction
