October Conference Notebook

“What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken; … whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same” (D&C 1:38).

As you review the October 2011 general conference, you can use these pages (and Conference Notebooks in future issues) to help you study and apply the recent teachings of the living prophets and apostles.

Prophetic Promise

“Not a day has gone by that I have not communicated with my Father in Heaven through prayer. It is a relationship I cherish—one I would literally be lost without. If you do not now have such a relationship with your Father in Heaven, I urge you to work toward that goal. As you do so, you will be entitled to His inspiration and guidance in your life—necessities for each of us if we are to survive spiritually during our sojourn here on earth. Such inspiration and guidance are gifts He freely gives if we but seek them.”

President Thomas S. Monson, “Stand in Holy Places,” Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2011, 84.

Go and Do

Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught that to advance an understanding of the Church, we should:

“Be bold in our declaration of Jesus Christ. We want others to know that we believe He is the central figure in all human history.”
“Be righteous examples to others. … Our lives should be examples of goodness and virtue as we try to emulate His example to the world.”
“Speak up about the Church. In the course of our everyday lives, we are blessed with many opportunities to share our beliefs with others.”

From “Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear,” Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2011, 42–43.
