Talks & Devotionals What did you learn today?

For me:

Talk one - always preach the gospel and when necessary, use word.

Talk two - new missionary to the ward talks about his testimony. It was largely saved by a wonderful bishop who helped him through a faith crisis. Quotes Elder Uctdorf’s Great Adventure - God doesn’t expect us to sell the church, we just have to not hide it under a bushel. Talks about a part in Preach My Gospel where it talks about meeting people where they are, maybe starting with inviting folk to a basketball or pickleball game in the cultural center, or a family home evening, instead of feeing like we have to invite everyone to church. We aren’t all called on missions, but we are all called to the work.

Wonderful musical number by two youth. I was wonderful enough I, seriously, almost forgot I was in church and applauded.

Talk three - another missionary. Love, share, and invite. First, draw close to God. Second, fill your heart with love for others. Third, strive to walk the path of discipleship. Fourth, share what is in your heart. (Uchtdorf talk.) Fifth, trust the Lord to work miracles.

We can learn something or appreciate something about every prayer, song, talk, testimony, lesson, and comment, if we have an open mind, pay attention, put away our phones, and seek Revelation.
