Journal Entry

We're trying again to have a nice garden in front of our house. It's a work in progress. We planted some nice new flowers and added a new bright yellow garden hose. We were doing pretty good last year when we got hit with a bad hail storm like nothing I've ever seen in my lifetime. 

Come Follow Me 

D&C 46:2 But notwithstanding those things which are written, it always has been given to the elders of my church from the beginning, and ever shall be, to conduct all meetings as they are directed and guided by the Holy Spirit.

"These conferences are always under the direction of the Lord, guided by His Spirit. We are not assigned specific topics. Over weeks and months, often through sleepless nights, we wait upon the Lord. Through fasting, praying, studying, and pondering, we learn the message that He wants us to give.

Some might ask, “Why doesn’t the inspiration come more easily and quickly?” The Lord taught Oliver Cowdery, “You must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right.” Conference messages come to us after prayerful preparation, through the Holy Ghost."

Elder Robert D. Hales, Apostle, October 2013
