Anyone else here after President Nelson's talk at the end of April 2024 Sunday afternoon session? ❤❤

During his General Conference sermon yesterday, Pres. Nelson challenged us to study Section 109, so I have gone back to your lesson on it. I am grateful that it is still available.

Thank you again for bringing the D & C to life for me and to feel the love our Savior and our Heavenly Father has for each one. The piece on 107 and 108 really spoke to me about accepting his forgiveness and also his acceptance of our service and how important it is to strengthen our brothers and sisters.

I'm so thankful you chose the vocation you did. I have learned more from you than any teacher I've ever had in my life and I'm well over the age of 70. Your lessons have become my daily "living bread and water." Thank you!

29 Minutes to 32 Minutes i had to pause and soak in what the Spirit was teaching me about gratitude!! Thanks be to thy name !! Thanks for covenants !! Thanks for thy promises!!! We did it because of the strength we get from the Savior!! Thankyou!! We do everything from the perspective of gratitude !! We can see clearly now thy wisdom !! The corrective lens is given and its how we see and thou gave it us!! We are not doing anything to buy back our salvation or pay a debt we are doing this as a small token of our gratitude for building the universe, giving us this amazing opportunity to participate in the plan of salvation and partake of thy fullness because of the offering up of thy beloved Son!! We see now thy wisdom oh Lord!! We can have Joy in this life ! We can have eternal life !! Thanks for the Constitution that allowed us to exercise our second amendment while building this holy edifice so we could keep our first amendment. Thanks for letting us be in a country where we could bear arms to protect our right to bear heavenly arms!! Endowed with power and glory to go forth and for the Last time to prune thy vineyard and prepare the earth for the bride to meet its groom!!

I love that you were at the Dallas temple open house, in line standing in the rain. That was the first temple we were able to take our children to, standing in line in the rain!

I had to go to San Diego for business and actually stumbled onto the temple as I was going up the road. I was actually leaving the area but I pulled out my cell phone and with tears in my eyes I told my husband that was the most beautiful temple I had ever seen. He said “you need to stay one more day and go to the temple“. I did, and got to go through and was actually a witness with a young missionary. The extravagance of the temple in San Diego is so well done!All temples are beautiful and I love the way that they take in to account the surrounding elements and history. I loved the Albuquerque temple with the southwestern accents that still was respectful of you where it is.

1:22:09 We have a name and standing . Beautiful! We listen to your Doctrine and Covenants lesson in the morning and In the afternoon we listen as a review your Book of Mormon lessons which we listened to last year. My husband and I are 80 and have never learned this much before. Your grace versus works was the best explanation we've ever heard. Our Granddaughter and her husband took Institute from you at Vanderbilt and say you are the best teacher they've ever had. We are grateful!

I find myself praying daily for you and your family. I pray that God will bless you for the personal sacrifices you have made for all of us. I didn’t even know what “rhetoric” was or that you can get a degree is Religious Rhetoric. I love how you break down words and give them so much more meaning. We are ALL truly blessed by your efforts! I am also glad you asked for time stamps. I believe it has generated more comments about how the lessons affect people personally. It helps us know we are in this together and have more in common than we think. ❤️🙏❤️

1:44 (ish) “How long” I wanted to share how the Lord answered that for me once. My son suffered from depression and had to come home from the MTC after just 2 weeks. For 7 years we tried to everything to get him functioning again. At times this high school valedictorian could not even read a sentence or comprehend what was being read to him. Because I was called as an EM seminary teacher i started attending an adult Institute class- they were finishing up the OT and the teacher was explaining the concept of Jubilee, how every 7 years the Lord expected the Israelites to start fresh. I had the clearest impression sitting in that class at that moment, “This November will be 7 years for ____, and he will start to get better.” In 2 months from that revelation he was so much better, and 6 months later he was working and taking Pathway classes. He still has depression and anxiety, but he has goals and is functioning. I also received an answer to my, ”Why?” question - it is sacred so I won’t share- but the Lord is definitely more wise than I am❤️

I am one who had a difficult time with Elder Holland’s BYU talk (having two LGBTQ children). I’ve experienced miracles in my life and have a strong testimony of the gospel that I cherish and cling to. But there are many in the LGBTQ community who are leaving the church. 1:37:20 - 1:40:15 brought me to tears. I appreciate the looking at both side of leaning- that those that don’t understand why people were hurt- that they might be leaning too far to the side of law and justice instead of love and tolerance. May we all learn to walk perfectly in the middle. Now in my prayers:
“Please help us with thy grace, assisting us to say “thy will be done”.
