General Conference Sat. Afternoon 2009

I'll start at Elder Scott
Elder Richard G. Scott - Attend the Temple
  • Remove your watch when you enter the house of the Lord
  • Be mindful of the individual the ordinance is performed for
  • We have no reason to worry or to feel despondent, because of the ordinances that are performed in the temple
  • More, but I took some notes on paper
Elder Russell M. Nelson - Prayer
  • The Lord's Prayer
  • Clarification in the JST: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive..." "Suffer us not to be led into temptation, but deliver us from evil"
  • "Hallowed be thy name" - respect and worshipful attitude as we pray
  • The Lord's Prayer serves as a pattern to follow, not something to memorize and repeat
  • Pray for unity with Lord's anointed and loved ones
  • Continue in prayer and fasting
  • Don't do too much and unnecessary things like fasting for a month and a prayer of a thousand words
  • Public prayers = short supplications for the Spirit of the Lord to be with us or to express gratitude of what has transpired
  • Don't cease to pray in your hearts
  • When praying for temporal and spiritual blessings, plead that "Thy will be done"
