  1. I wish I felt differently, but the video of Christ appearing to the nephites left me feeling unsatisfied. šŸ˜• @NeuroTypical, as to wokeness, I didn't see it that way. I think the Brethren are intentional in their language. While some of it may sound similar enough to appease detractors seeking to find fault, or members for whom wokeness is a stumbling block, the true application of their words requires to modern woke ideology to be rejected in favor of true unity in Christ. @Carborendum, I had considered the garments thing, but I interpreted it more in relation to the growing number of activist members who live or align with the LGBTQ+ lifestyle or in general, any who seek to impose their own will on the Lord, in disregard of his commandments, while expecting to claim the gift only he can provide. It could have both meanings, though; yours is inherently included I think. My wife suggested that many (in our area at least) will likely reflectively use Bednar's words to judge those who were against masking, though it seems this is a more present and future pointed message. šŸ¤”

  2. The absolute necessity of having the Spirit and receiving personal revelation has been a hallmark of Pres Nelson's tenure as prophet and it seemed to be especially mentioned in this conference. "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost." This principle has always been a key element of the restored gospel but it makes me wonder what specifically the "coming days" hold as to require such intense focus on it now. Clearly the world is becoming more corrupt. But it appears that on the horizon events will unfold that will put great pressure on any testimony that is not being constantly reinforced.

  4. I hope everyone heard the words Pres Nelson spoke in the Sunday Morning session. Very eye-opening. I am looking forward to the transcript when they publish them on the Church website. That was what a lot of people have been waiting to hear. I also thought Elder Bednar's words to be rather remarkable. I never realized the refusal to wear our garments was such a widespread issue sufficient to require an address at G.C. I know many won't interpret his words that way. But after re-reading the parable he quoted from, it is difficult not to. Jesus Christ is the answer. And here, I thought it was 42.

  6. Just fine my friend, thank you for asking. It was expected to be a direct hit but we didn't even lose power. Iā€™d love to say God saved us-but there are far more holy men out there than me, and they lost everything.

  7. Nah, Prosper is just North of Dallas. It is confluent with the metroplex. Prosper to Dallas - 34 miles Prosper to OKC - 186 miles
