REPORT ON THE SPECIAL STAKE CONFERENCE

Well - major bummer for the Saints in Cardston.

We were given no special instructions other than to repent, from Elder Rasband.

The other Stake had a 70 that gave no special instructions other than to "do better".

I take that as a repent....

Obviously, people will have different instructions for different places based on what their individual circumstances are.

We talked over dinner with our favorite peeps how we can repent.  We talked about apostasy and how we can avoid that.  More and more crashing and burning.  Children, friends, family, church members that were formerly considered strong and firm in the faith are going after the world. 

Many are just plain weary in doing good.

When all your friends are going "gay" or hooking up and you find yourself "missing out" on the worldly activities, you become weary.  When all your friends are out at the bars, at sporting events on Sundays, playing violent video games, watching inappropriate movies and you feel like you are the only one holding the line, you weary and can let go of the iron rod.  Thus wandering into paths unknown and getting lost in the mists of darkness.  And so it goes.

The antidote is to surround yourself with good people who love what is right, and to repent daily.  Constantly.  Good music.  Good activities.  Strengthen yourself, your spouse and your family.  Draw them close.  Once good is gone (lost election or assassination) and the gads seize power, it is over.  Then we will simply have to endure.  They are having to in California.  The battle for sanity is lost there.  Thus the reason it will be among the first areas that are destroyed.

Those who are not rooted in good principle do not even see the danger or the awfulness of the situation they are in as they snooze away.  All is not well in Zion - that it is, is the great lie of the Great Deceiver and the Father of All Lies.

  1. I wouldn't call that not special. But this is something that is going to be heard a lot in the next conference, much as President Nelson said "TIME IS RUNNING OUT" in the last conference.

  2. Interesting. We had a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles hold a special stake conference in our stake a couple of weeks ago, and the message, addressed for close to 45 minutes, was essentially an exhortation to live the For Strength of the Youth standards and be more welcoming. Back to the basics.

  3. We are going to have conference next week, personally I believe we will continue the Back to the Basics and concentrate on teaching in the family. Today I saw a video from Samuel The Lamanite (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lwt7rrC7Ew). He points out that there will be no last minute notice from the prophet to the world calamities. We have been told to watch for the signs of the second coming and listen to the prophets. I have listen to the prophets to be prepared since very young age. If the time comes and get me unprepared I'll feel exactly one of the 5 foolish virgins. Well, lets just be patient....
