The council was led by Jessica White and was based on Revelations of President Russell Nelson.
She asked us to recall some of the things we have remembered and observed over the time President Nelson has been our prophet. Jessica did the math and found that President Nelson has addressed us on 10 separate occasions.
These are comments made by sisters and Jessica throughout the meeting:
Things we have been impressed by.
The complete name of the church is not negotiable.
Love to hear children singing I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Read the Book of Mormon by year end and underline all references with the Saviors name.
Social Media Fast.
Temple Attendance.
We belong to a world wide church and President Nelson is a prophet for all of us—no matter where we are in the world.
Prayer—Ask for help.
Become a part of the Lord’s Army and the Gathering of Israel.
The time is not far away that we will not survive spiritually without our testimonies.
Mark each verse in the Book of Mormon that refers to the Savior and miracles will begin to happen.
Personal Revelation.
Praying and writing down thoughts.
President nelson is a delightful person.
Impressed by the picture of him in a swing that went around on social media.
President Nelsons ability to travel world wide—and the fact that he has the energy to do all of that traveling and meeting with the saints from around the world.
The Ministering Program
He doesn't challenge us— He invites us.
He invites us to go to the temple.
He invites us to read the Book of Mormon.
He invites us to be more like the Savior.
We need to use our personal language around everyone—not just around our LDS friends—Some might laugh at it and maybe they won't.
Reading Bishops Handbook.
Receiving personal revelation.
Home Centered—Church Supported Ministering.
Melchizedek Priesthood Changes.
New way of calling missionaries —Proselyting and Service Missionaries.
Two-Hour Meeting Schedule.
Sister Nelson says she knows when the prophet is receiving personal revelation and she leaves him to himself.
There are now 201 temples in operation, under construction and announced.
Challenges to sisters at the Women's Conference:
Invitation of 10-day social media fast, reading the Book of Mormon, Temple attendance, and participating fully in Relief Society.
Dedicate or Rededicate our homes.
We need to be aggressive to move forward—Be the driver, not the one being dragged from behind.
If we are obedient we will have the Saviors help.
Sometimes the Lord’s time-table is different than ours.
Oct 2018 Conference closing remarks:
Remodel our homes into a haven of gospel living.
Changes will be dramatic and sustaining and the influence of the advisory will decrease.
Worship and serve in the temple—It will bring about great miracles.
Revelations will continue until the Savior returns and the work is accomplished.
