General Conference Saturday Afternoon Oct 2015

Second sesh.
Let's do this.

Hales
"Hey Dieter, let's switch talks"

Remember that we live in the real world. Look out for debt. Apply gospel principles practically. Have a plan and be in control. We are meant to act rather than be acted upon. "You’re a pilot, and you’re in charge."

"If you want more than what you now have, reach up, not across." Though we are meant to help each other, true help can only come from above.

Holland
"Mama! OoooOOOooohh!"

The Divinity and importance of Mothers. It seems to be given to the entire church (rather than just to the women) to combat the worldly view of mothers as essentially the same as men with minor differences in plumbing. Motherhood is a creative act and is close to Godhood.

Bradly Foster
"Preaching to the (children's) choir"

So, he said he was speaking to the children but he seems to be speaking to their parents. “Our children learn when they’re ready to learn, not when we're ready to teach them.” Children are smarter than we tend to think they are.

Hugo Montoya
"Smile, smile, smile"

"Please smile, your smile will help others." We're in this life together, we can believe that we should share each other's burdens but what about sharing each other's joys?
Meditate on the great and wonderful love of the Redeemer. Meditate on the sacrament weekly. It's a structured opportunity to meditate for a set time and with a set purpose

Vern Stanfill

"I want to ride my bicycle"

We can't avoid all the darkness of the world but we can move towards the light of the Gospel and trust in the light of others.

James B. Martino
"I can't think of a clever quote so have a dog meme"

God does not answer prayers merely to satiate curiosity. You get out what you put in. This is the law of the harvest. The sons of Mosiah had similar experience to Laman and Lemuel but those good ol' Mosiah boys invested more into their faith and as a result, got more out of it. "Work without faith is dead."

Dallin H. Oaks
"We're all going to die and that's okay."

"The Savior experienced the pains, sicknesses, and infirmities of His people." Christ knows our pains because he bore them. Sometimes infirmities are removed other times we are strengthened to withstand them. "Sometimes [Christ] succors, or helps, by giving us the strength to endure our infirmities."
