Prophets in our days

This weekend was the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We were very privileged to hear the messages of the people who we sustain as prophets, seers and revelators.

I was deeply touched by the talk of Jeffrey R Holland. What an amazing power of speaking and how straight forward was his language! It was great to get back to the basics and reconnect with why we believe what we believe and how important are some things that we take for granted.

Another talk that touched me deeply was the talk of Richard G. Scott. What stuck with me deeply was his story about two different occasions he felt inspired and received personal revelation. Both times were lessons in Sunday School that he attended at different times, but the teachers were very different. What was interesting for me is that the Holy Ghost can influence us in any condition. Even if the teacher is not possessing the qualities that make a teacher great, we can receive the lesson by the means of the Holy Ghost. So it is not as important how good a teacher is as how open the listener is to the promptings of the Holly Ghost.

I invite you to share your thoughts, feelings, what got your attention. Have a great week!
