Favorite quotes so far:
Elder Robert D. Hales -
"Some debt incurred for education, a modest home or a basic automobile may be necessary to provide for a family. Unfortunately, however, additional debt is incurred when we cannot control our wants and addictive impulses."
"Our challenges, including those we create by our own decisions, are part of our test in mortality. We must practice the principles of provident living: Joyfully living within our means, being content with what we have, avoiding excessive debt and diligently saving and preparing for rainy day emergencies."
Elder Hales also said provident providers must follow the most basic commandment "Thou shalt not covet." He also advised tithing, fast offerings, family council and family budgets.
Elder Quentin L. Cook:
He said though reports on the church have been untrue, unfair and harsh, he said Latter-day Saints should respect those of other faiths.
"Our attitude toward other Christian churches has been to refrain from criticism. They do much good. They bless mankind. Many help their members learn of the Savior and his teachings."
And I love hearing from Boyd K. Packer - he spoke at the Priesthood Session, so I will have to wait to read it, but the boys came home talking about it and I found:
"And Saturday evening, Elder Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve told the young men not to decorate their bodies with tattoos or piercings. He also addressed gender.
"You were born a male. You must treasure and protect the masculine part of your nature. You must have respectful, protective regard for all women and girls," he said."
More on the second day of conference tomorrow!
