Book of Mormon has a theme of deliverance.
Mosiah 20 - Bondage of King Limhi. Three times defeated.
v.15 slow to hear their cries. Lamanite eased burdens, but the Lord did not see fit to deliver them out of bondage. Lord was slow because of their iniquities.
Mosiah 24 - Alma and his people in the land of Helam. v. 13 - voice of the Lord, lift up your hearts and be of good comfort. I will deliver you out of bondage.
What is the difference. People of Alma were peaceful and more righteous. appropriate and fair to be delivered quickly.
We are promised deliverance. His atonement and resurrection. Escape from physical and spiritual death.
**** Read the Book of Mormon every day.
Secularism is overpowering religious people now today.
We need the BOM. Both are necessary for the complete doctrine of Christ. Both are neccsssary. When used together the Bible and the BOM confound false doctrine.
Harmonious - Deliverance of Abraham from the Childeans. Also, Lot, his nephew chose the plains of Jordan. Most of the problems of his life came from positioned his tent toward Sodom. Abraham dwelt in the plains of Mamran and built an alter. He thinks Abraham's tent faced the Altar. King Benjamin had everyone face their tent to the temple.
Elder Ballard
Liahona similar to a GPS. Curious workmanship. GPS is a blessing. I can be right and say I don't need to ask anyone.
We have a tool more remarkable than a GPS. It is through the pompting of the Holy Ghost. And through the Atonement. We and our society has lost its way. Focus on the family.
**** Visit with Karen how to convert our home to a more divine institution. It is our home and families that need reforming. Growing disregard of marriage. More than half of birth of women under 30 have children outside of marriage.
**** Ever growing gap between the rich and the poor. Poor less likely to go to church.
Good is bad and bad is good. Families that aren't broken up have children of hight economic status.
Elder 70
We must have a vision or we will perish. Christ helps you catch a vision of yourself. We act on Christ's teachings. Jesus made the 12 fishers of men instead of just fisherman.
Put into action the teachings of our leaders. Catch a vision of these teachings. Exercise your faith to take action. Act on your inspiration.
*****Fasting and prayer - This is an action. We experience hard things in our life. We get too busy.
*****Relook at responsibilities and time wasters.
You will bring a different order to your life as we gain a vision. Our lives will be blessed in unexpected ways.
***** Believe that the Lord can bless you with vision in your life. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Let us see ourselves as the Savior see us.
***** go to the temple in the morning once a week. Fast and pray once a week.

Rights of the Priesthood (wife driving story)
We lose that power when we exercise compulsion on others. We lose our right to the Lord's Spirit. We think that controlling is good for people but its not. We can't force others to do the right thing. It builds mistrust. Learning opportunities are lost. Easy trap to fall into. Withholding approval or love is the way some do it.
Children need to make choices. Sabbath day story. Not let her team down. Parents decide that their daughter was ready to make her own decision. She carried out her choice. She said that felt awful.
Help children establish their own connection to heaven. They that are wise and have taken the Holy Spirit as their guide...
We must act only by persuasion. Let them feel our confidence.
David Evans
Children - 2 Nephi 25:26
Children trust because they see the good modeling of the parents.
Our brethren need to feel the love. People returning are the same as long time members.
It doesn't matter how matter when someone comes back. The grace is the same for all.

Seek an answer to a sincere question. All were change from the encounters with the divine. Our experiences with the divine might not be as direct. Still small voice guides and directs, lights our mind. We feel it. So natural and subtle. individualized messages.
**** Daily reflecting and recording promptings. DC 59:21Llink When we record our promptings we are saying that this is important.
Give priority to the sacred.
**** spend more time each time to meditate and pray and read scriptures.
The world wants us to abandon beliefs.
Did I not speak peace in your heart concerning the matter.
**** Remember that you have received peace regarding your job issue. Don't murmur anymore. Don't tell people that you have problems.
Hold sacred what you have received.
Elder Neil Anderson
What thinks Christ of me?
These are days of destiny. Badge of honor.
The Lord blesses us with customized direction - as we listen to and think about the General Conference. Discipleship is not a competition. It is life long migration to a more celestial life.
***** Take up your cross daily and follow me. I will give you rest. You are heavy laden.
***** Hershel Pederson's comment that I haven't figured out how to fast and pray because my weight was still high.

Haiti - family apt destroyed. They believed. three children in apt. just one child alive.They were all discovered alive under the building.
be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
as you trust him, you will feel his approval. By his grace he will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

Thomas S. Monson
Pray always. I will pour out my spirit upon you....
