CHOICES - Words of the Prophet

My goodness, I am easily distracted and very inconsistent with this blog!  I'm also quite behind in putting together my list of insights from the April 2016 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  You can find more information here. LDS General Conference Apr 2016

Years ago I heard a story of a Latter-day Saint telling an acquaintance about the marvelous gift of a living prophet and modern revelation. The question was asked, "Well, what does this prophet have to say?" Unfortunately, the Latter-day Saint hadn't studied General Conference or the Ensign and didn't know.  I promised myself I would keep current on the words of the prophet and live his words so that I could share by example and through discussion the will of the Lord for his children today.  

To accomplish this goal, I study all of the talks from general conference, but make a special effort to keep the words of the Prophet and President of the Church before my eyes.  At my house, this means it's posted on the Fridge! :-)   I'm finally getting  around to posting here: Click the link below to download.

I follow the guidance given in Amos 3:7  Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. I want to know the will of the Lord God and I want to be prepared to share it with others.  I know that Thomas S. Monson is the living prophet on the earth today and that as we follow his guidance we will reach the goal of Living with our Father in Heaven again.
