Thoughts shared at Transfer Conference from the departing sisters:
-Love should be the motivating factor in all we
do—Love Lord, love companion, love work.
-Change the way we pray—don’t give counsel but
receive counsel from the Lord.
-Trust in the Lord and forget self. By trusting Him we can be strong.
-The Savior helps us change. Apply the atonement in your life daily.
-Do right thing for the right reason. Don’t do things to look good and impress
others but do things to bring others to Christ.
-Forget your weaknesses and go to work.
-Each of us has a special light so don’t compare but be
confident.
-Smile, you’re loved by our Heavenly Father and His
Son Jesus Christ.
-If it’s not true, kind or necessary don’t say it.
-Focus on overall instead of every single action and
you will love everyone around you.
-Be excited about the message we bring.
-Your mission is about developing relationships: Put
God first, others and then self; love and serve completely; live one day at a
time and let Jesus Christ be the focus.
-Never let discouragement weaken your faith.
-Stay close to the tree (tree of life); hang in not
principle of Jesus Christ, it’s enduring to the end. When we make covenants
there is no turning back.
-Always have hope, don’t give up on hope. Love companion and you will love your
mission. Always ‘’enjoy’’ to the end and not just endure to the end.
-John 5:30- listen to each other. Don’t assume you
have the best idea. Don’t be possessed by position or possessions. Know thyself
and best way is to know God.
