Come, let us listen to a prophet...

Last weekend, April 2-3, The Latter-Day Saints had something we call "General Conference". It is where we Latter-Day Saints, and anyone else who would like too, come and listen to the prophets and apostles. I Like to think of it like Paul when he teaches the people when he is traveling and instructing the ancient church the ways of the Lord. However, instead of traveling around to visit, they broadcast it to all the world! They put it on radio, satellite, and even the Internet! They instruct the church and the world at once. The prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and the apostles instruct them what the Lord wants us to know! Just like the apostles of old, they receive revelation on what the Lord wants us to know and in turn, they instruct us what the Lord wants us to know. Thus, Christ's church is run by Christ himself. It is amazing that God loves us to call prophets and apostles to direct us in what will truly make us happy in this life. Sometimes, or a lot of times, it's something that we need to work on, or what we may need to focus all of our attention(s) to. I remember one time during the Priesthood session of conference in October....2009? (a session for men to learn how to be better in the priesthood, as husbands, and fathers) my dad and I were listening to President Monson speak. He was talking about anger and that we need to control it. Of course it was a lot deeper and richer than what I described, but dad and I both resolved to control our anger better. I would say that we have! And that it has blessed ourlives in obeying the words of the prophet. It's a prophets duty to speak the word of God, regardless of how hard or how much he doesn't want to. I'm sure it was hard for Moses to tell Pharoh what to do and what God commanded. We learn from reading the Bible and Book of Mormon that when one hearkens unto a prophets voice they are blessed! Regardless of the sacrifice, big or small. I would love to direct you to LDS.org so that you can hear what a prophet wants us to know on how to be happy in this life. I garentee that you will see blessings in your life when you obey what he asks. Please excercise the faith that he is a prophet of God doing his will I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
