1. What Matters Most is What Lasts Longest
Elder M. Russell Ballard, October 2005, General
Conference: Saturday Morning Session,
“I believe the mission statement for mortality might
be “to build an eternal family.” Here on
this earth we strive to become part of
extended families with the ability to create and form our own part of those
families.”
2. Love – the Essence of the Gospel
President Thomas S. Monson, April 2014 General Conference:
Sunday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/love-the-essence-of-the-gospel?lang=eng&query=love+the+essence+of+the+gospel
“Every day of our lives we are given opportunities to show
love and kindness to those around us. Said President Spencer W. Kimball:
“We must remember that those mortals we meet in parking lots, offices,
elevators, and elsewhere are that portion of mankind God has given us to love
and to serve. It will do us little good to speak of the general brotherhood of
mankind if we cannot regard those who are all around us as our brothers and
sisters.”
3. To My Grandchildren
President Henry B. Erying, October 2013 General Conference:
Sunday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/10/to-my-grandchildren?lang=eng&query=Henry+B.+Eyring
“The pressures at every stage of life can tempt us to reject
or neglect calls to serve the Savior. That can put us in spiritual peril for ourselves,
our spouse, and our families. Some of those calls may seem unimportant,
but my life, and my family, was changed for the better by my
accepting a call to teach a deacons quorum. I felt the love of those deacons
for the Savior and His love for them.”
4. Are You Sleeping Through the
Restoration?
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, April 2014 General Conference:
Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/are-you-sleeping-through-the-restoration?lang=eng&query=are+you+sleeping+through+the+restoration
“Those
who wholeheartedly turn their lives over to our Savior and serve God and
fellowman discover a richness and fullness to life that the selfish or egotistic
will never experience. The unselfish give of themselves. These may be small
gifts of charity that have a grand impact for good: a smile, a handshake, a
hug, time spent in listening, a soft word of encouragement, or a gesture of
caring. All these acts of kindness can change hearts and lives. When we take
advantage of the unlimited opportunities to love and serve our fellowmen,
including our spouse and family,
our capacity to love God and to serve others will greatly
increase.”
5. Following
Up
Elder M. Russell Ballard, April 2014, General
Conference: Sunday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/following-up?lang=eng&query=following+up
“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers
are few;
“Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
will send forth labourers into his harvest.”6
The Lord has answered that prayer in our day with
the greatest number of full-time missionaries in the history of the world. With
this new wave of faithful laborers, the Lord has given us another opportunity
to assist Him in that great harvest of souls.”
6. Becoming
a Missionary
Elder David A. Bednar, October 2005 General Conference: Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/10/becoming-a-missionary?lang=eng&query=missionary+work
“All of us who have received the holy priesthood bear the sacred obligation to bless the nations and families of the earth by proclaiming the gospel and inviting all to receive by proper authority the ordinances of salvation.”
7. Becoming a Missionary
Elder David A. Bednar, October 2005 General Conference: Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/10/becoming-a-missionary?lang=eng&query=missionary+work
“Proclaiming the gospel is not an activity in which we periodically and temporarily engage. And our labors as missionaries certainly are not confined to the short period of time devoted to full-time missionary service in our youth or in our mature years. Rather, the obligation to proclaim the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is inherent in the oath and covenant of the priesthood into which we enter.”
8. Go Ye Therefore
Sister Silvia H. Allred, October 2008 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/go-ye-therefore?lang=eng&query=missionary+work
“I don’t know if missionaries realize the far-reaching impact of their work.”

Sister Silvia H. Allred, October 2008 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/go-ye-therefore?lang=eng&query=missionary+work
“Missionary work is the lifeblood of the Church. There is no greater work, no more important work. It blesses the lives of all those who participate in it. It will continue blessing future generations.”
10. Raising The Bar
Elder L. Tom Perry, October 2007 General Conference: Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/raising-the-bar?lang=eng&query=missionary+work
“Missionary work is hard, and full-time missionaries must be in good physical condition to serve. Raising the bar to a higher physical standard could involve further physical conditioning.”
Elder David A. Bednar, October 2005 General Conference: Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/10/becoming-a-missionary?lang=eng&query=missionary+work
