Friend to Friend

In the March Friend, Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles reminds us of why we should listen to General Conference.  When Elder Hales was in high school he loved baseball and he was the pitcher for his high school baseball team.  Once he lost three games in a row, one to nothing.  Robert told his coach he was going to quit.  His coach told him that he just needed to stop wearing out his arm.  He was pitching fastballs before the games to show off.  Robert listened to his coach and the next game he pitched so well that the other team didn't even score a run!  Because he listened to his coach he was able to play better!  Robert learned that listening to Heavenly Father is like that too.  When we listen to Heavenly Father we can do well.  We have a chance to listen to what Heavenly Father wants us to do each time we watch and listen to General Conference.  Elder Hales tells us that if we listen to General Conference we will feel the Spirit, we can hear the word of the Lord meant just for us, our faith will get stronger and our testimonies will grow deeper.  Elder Hales says that if you will pray with a real desire to hear Heavenly Father's voice in the messages of conference, you will find that He has spoken to you to help you.

General Conference is coming up April 4th & 5th.  Watch and listen and see what Heavenly Father wants you to do!
