Post 5: General Conference October 2014

General Conference was this past weekend. I hope you all attended/watched/listened to it. The talks were extremely good. One of my favorites was Elder Richard G. Scott's talk. In his talk titled Make the Exercise of Faith Your First Priority, Elder Scott uses pathos to inform everyone how to achieve eternal peace through faith.

In the talk, Elder Scott told us about the four tools we have that allow us to practice our faith. The four tools were Prayer, Scripture Study, Family Home Evening, and Temple Attendance. According to Elder Scott, all four of these tools should be our first priorities in life. He even states that Scripture Study is more important than sleep and anything else we do. We need to teach our kids (if we have them) the importance of faith in Family Home Evening. Prayer and Temple Attendance help us draw closer to our Heavenly Father. If we want to stay faithfully strong in this world, we need to follow God by using these four tools. Pathos is used by the way we feel at the end of Elder Scott's talk. I don't know about you, but I felt as if the Lord loved me and that if I followed him I could do anything. Elder Scott puts hope and joy into our hearts with his talk.

I know that when we follow our Prophet and the Apostles, we will be blessed in our lives. We can all achieve eternal happiness. It's not that hard. If we just follow the Gospel we can live with our Heavenly Father again. When we listen to the Prophet and Apostles and really try to understand what they are telling us (like we are doing now), we can find what we need to do in order to live with God again.    

Here is just something funny I found online.
