There is a Fireside tonight and our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ is the speaker! What an awesome opportunity!
Now with this get a paper and answer the following questions:
- Would you go? Why would you go?
- What if it was going to last for 10 hours?
- What if you were scheduled to work?
- What would you do if you have a date with someone special (this could be a 1st date, with your kids, spouse, friends etc.)?
- What would you do if you have a family trip all planned out and paid for?
- What do you do if your car breaks down on the way?
- Why wouldn't you be satisfied with hearing about it, reading it, or watching it later?
- Why is it more important than Sunday school?
- How would you prepare yourself for this event?
- What would you do during and after to help you to remember what was said and how you felt?
Did you write down your answers? Now sign the paper that you wrote your answers on - just so you can commit to yourself that you would indeed do everything in your power to be there.
Doctrine and Covenants 1:38What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my
aword shall not pass away, but shall all be
bfulfilled,
whether by mine own cvoice or by the dvoice of my eservants, it is the fsame. We do have this opportunity - it is called General Conference. Every 6 months we are blessed by being able to hear the voice of the Lord through His servants. Treat it for what it is!
"I invite you to listen, listen if you will by the power of the spirit, to the speakers who will address you... If you will do so, I do not hesitate to promise that you will be uplifted, your resolution to do what is right will be stronger, you will find solutions to your problems and your needs, and you will be led to thank the Lord for what you have heard." -- President Gordon B. Hinckley, CR Nov. 1996, p.4)
