General Conference Aphorisms
Not guaranteed to be word for word or even close. The only guaranty is that they are in my notes.
April 2022
Elder Anderson — The internet is a blessing and a curse.
Elder Bednar — Heed not what the wicked may say.
The foundation of our successful approach to having a long running blog.
Elder Gong — Meaning comes from family.
The Brother before Elder Cook — Anyone can change.
Sister Wright — 91 isn’t too old to fix it.
Brother Ringwood — The plan is personal. It is not a management plan created by committee based on expert consultation, procedure, and analysis.
Elder Rasband — A plague of attacks on religious influence in society.
President Nelson — Cut short your misery.
Elder Oaks — Bearing and nurturing children is part of the divine plan. Satan discourages childbearing and distorts gender.
Elder Oaks — “family-centered” isn’t limited to this life.
Brother Klebingat — A God who makes no demands is one who functionally does not exist.
Brother Klebingat — the desperate decibels of the GSB.
There were a number of references to the GSB this conference. Lehi nailed our day, no doubt.

Elder Anderson – Peacemakers are not passive; they are persuasive in the truth.
Also, the Savior’s response to vicious attacks was to be silent.
Elder Holland – Temple work proclaims the divisiveness of the world only temporarily true.
Elder Gong – Living trees have branches *and* roots, and our deepest roots are heavenly. We need roots to have wings.
Elder Ochoa – The Plan was not for us to sail easily through life – it was for us when we are sinking.
Elder Cook – True conversion is the result of the conscious acceptance of God’s will.
Sister Craven – If you want to know anything, you have to do something.
Sister Wright – Worry less about the way we are delivered, and more about the Deliverer.
Elder Klebingat – It is our strength that’s being tested in this life, not God’s.
