Even when you fail, you can choose not to give up, but rather discover your courage, press forward, and rise up. That is the great test of the journey.

Wifi, Nephi
What happened to Elder Stevenson's dog?
What gospel principle was he trying to teach us with this story?
His five-year-old son wanted him to look like the 101 Dalmatians, so he painted him with white paint.
Satan, the father of lies and the great deceiver, would have us question things as they really are and either ignore eternal truths or replace them with something that appears more pleasing.
Who said "You like two-hour church. We like two-hour church."
President Russell M. Nelson
Who's talk should this picture belong to? What was this supposed to make us think about?
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
We agreed to leave the security of our first estate and embark on our own great adventure of “there and back again.”
This is who you and I really are and who you have always been: a son or daughter of God, with spiritual roots in eternity and a future overflowing with infinite possibilities. You are—first, foremost, and always—a spiritual being.
President M. Russell Ballard
Mark L. Pace said “The goal is not to make church one hour shorter; it is to make church ____ _____ ________ !”

Stephen W. Owen told us a sad story about deer. What was that story and what can we learn from it?
A herd of deer was trapped and faced possible starvation. Some people dumped truckloads of hay around the area hoping it would get them through the winter. Most of the deer were found dead. They had eaten the hay, but it did not nourish them, and they starved to death with their stomachs full.
While we may be going through the motions of spirituality, we need to be fed to conversion. If we are not nourished to conversion, we will die spiritually.
Why is Sammy holding his foot up?
He is sustaining President Nelson with his foot because his hands were busy holding his bottle.

Keeping promises is not a habit; it is a characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
Elder Peter M. Johnson said "read and study the Book of Mormon ______ ____, _______ _____, ________ _____."
every day, every day, every day
What did Elder Peter M. Johnson do to help him get through a doctoral program? How did it help?
He decided that if he was going to complete the four-year program, he would finish reading the Book of Mormon each semester.
He recognized the Savior’s declaration that the Holy Ghost would teach him all things and would bring all things to his remembrance. It reaffirmed he was a son of God, reminded him not to compare himself with the others, and gave him confidence in his divine role to succeed.
Who told the story:
“Would you tell me about that beautiful museum with the golden statue on top?”
and
“Missionaries, get into my car; you’re coming home to teach me.”
Cristina B. Franco
Who used this image in their talk? Why is it important?
Elder Hans T. Boom.
Sometimes we might feel that we are, like that gong, good enough only to play a minor part in the performance. But let me tell you that your sound is making all the difference.
There is so much we do not know that our only sure reliance is to trust in the Lord and His love for His children.
President Dallin H. Oaks
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said "discipleship is not about doing things ________; it’s about doing things _________."
perfectly, intentionally
Elder Rubén V. Alliaud shared his story about how he was "found." What is that story?
While living in Argentina, he was invited to spend time with his uncle in the United States when he was 15. His mother made his uncle promise not to try to convert him. However, he was given a room that contained a large library of books, including 200 copies of the Book of Mormon. 20 of them were in Spanish. He secretly started to read and then decided he needed to pray. He became converted and wanted to be baptized. He was sent home with a note from his uncle that simply said: "I had nothing to do with this."
He was found by the power of the Book of Mormon.
Who has this Great-Grandma Alice Blauer Bangerter, who had three marriage proposals in one day, later asked her husband to rig a foot pedal to her butter churn so she could churn butter, knit, and read at the same time.
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
Who gave this talk? What is the significance of the picture?
Elder Neil L. Andersen
This precious fruit symbolizes the wondrous blessings of the Savior’s incomparable Atonement.
Partaking of the fruit of the tree also symbolizes that we embrace the ordinances and covenants of the restored gospel.
In spite of everything else this conference tradition may offer us, it will mean little or nothing unless we find Jesus at the center of it all.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
President Henry B. Eyring said, "Greater ________ comes from greater personal ___________."
happiness, holiness
Elder Dale G. Renlund told a story about the Congolese people and the Nzongo Falls. What was that story?
Before their conversion, they worshipped inanimate objects. After conversion, many made a pilgrimage to one of the waterfalls along the Congo River, such as the Nzongo Falls. These converts threw their previously idolized objects into the waterfalls as a symbol to God and others that they had discarded their old traditions and accepted Jesus Christ.
Having lived in West Africa for five years, I saw plenty of examples of people prioritizing the gospel naturally and unashamedly. One such example is the name of a tire repair and wheel balancing business in Ghana. The owner has named it “Thy Will Alignment.”

Who used this image in their talk? What did the cheetahs do? What are the 3 things we learn from them?
Elder David A. Bednar
While one cheetah sat upright in the grass and did not move, the other cheetah crouched low to the ground and slowly crept closer to the topis. Then the cheetah that had been sitting upright disappeared in the grass at exactly the same moment that the other cheetah sat upright.
1. We need to be aware of beguiling bad that pretends to be good.
2. Stay Awake and Be Alert.
3. Understand the Intent of the Enemy.
