What I need to Learn, I Learn in Conference

These are my notes from General Conference. I turned them into "I" statements because they are for me. You guys are on your own. Feel free to read though.

I should live a provident life by saying, "I can't afford it," or "I can afford it but I don't need it or even really want it."

Provident livers know that tithing is a great and equitable law. The ask themselves is what I want to buy temporary or eternal?

Addictions are of the natural man. They cannot be satisfied.

I should be as King Lamoni and say that I will give away all my sins for Thee. I will do anything He asks.

I should nourish my children with the living water of Christ.

I should teach respect and reverence. I should respect my family members.

Reverence is love. Elder Boyd K. Packer said, "Reverence invites revelation."

I should pray humbly. Handle scriptures with respect, respect priesthoos leaders and the chapel. Sacrament should begin with the prelude music, not the opening prayer.

I should study and be a dedicated student.

I should ask for a testimony which is personal inspiration.

I can gain faith in God by my covenants with Him. I make those covenants through priesthood ordinances.

Covenants produce faith when I am obedient to my covenants, when I listen to the spirit and when I have hope and equanimity.

When I enter into covenants I receive Godly power. It is God's promise.

The Savior could have known of my pain and afflictions by revelation but He chose to come to earth and suffer as I will.

The Lord will rescue his faithful servants.

I should look at my challenges as love from Heavenly Father. It means he is strengthing and purifying me so that I may be exalted.

I should learn from the past in order to build a personal testimony.

I should walk boldly in the light without running the risk of stumbling in the dark.

Spiritual darkness is a result of bad choices.

I don't have to be a Laman or Lemuel. It is better to be a Nephi or Jacob.

I should respect others who are not of my faith.

I should respect those of my faith and not judge. I should love, teach and never give up.

Fear and faith cannot exist together. I must grow in faith by strengthening my testimony and practicing exact obedience.

Net faith is what I have after I subtract doubt and disbelief.

6 faith killers are 1. Doubt 2. Discouragement 3. Distration 4. lack of Diligence 5. Disobedience 6. Disbelief. I must avoid and overcome these.

Spencer W. Kimball said, "There is no tragedy in death, only in sin."

Pain and sorrow can leave because of the light of the gospel.

I should make a goal to go to the temple and don't let anything stop those plans.

I must consider my relationship with the Savior and His relationship with Heavenly Father.

I should express gratitude.

When I am faced with challenges I shouldn't ask, "Why?" I should ask, "What am I supposed to learn from this?"

I should never complain about what happens to me as long as I am living worthily.

My prayers should not be too much or more than is necessary. The Lord listens whether is is eight words or a thousand as long as it is done in the name of Jesus Christ.
