Charity #4

"Every covenant servant of His within His kingdom on earth and in the spirit world will receive His guidance by the Spirit as they bless and serve others for Him.  And they will feel His love and find joy in being drawn closer to Him.
President Henry B. Eyring, "Come Unto Me," General Conference April 2013

Charity #3

"My promise to you who pray and serve the Lord cannot be that you will have every blessing you
may wish for yourself and your family.  But I can promise you that the Savior will draw close to you and bless you and your family with what is best.  You will have the comfort of His love and feel the answer of His drawing closer as you reach out your arms in giving service to others.  As you bind up the wounds of those in need and offer the cleansing of His Atonement to those who sorrow in sin, the Lord's power will sustain you.  His arms are outstretched with yours to succor and bless the children of our Heavenly Father, including those in your family."
President Henry B. Eyring, "Come Unto Me," General Conference April 2013

Family #6

Missionary Work #2

"If you will respond to the invitation to share your beliefs and feelings about the restored gospel of
Jesus Christ, a spirit of love and a spirit of courage will be your constant companion, for perfect love casteth out fear."
Elder L. Tom Perry, "Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear," General Conference October 2011

Self-Reliance/Provident Living #3

"There are many good people and organizations in the world that are trying to meet the pressing needs of the poor and needy everywhere. We are grateful for this, but the Lord’s way of caring for the needy is different from the world’s way. The Lord has said, 'It must needs be done in mine own way.'  He is not only interested in our immediate needs; He is also concerned about our eternal progression. For this reason, the Lord’s way has always included self-reliance and service to our neighbor in addition to caring for the poor."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf,  "Providing In the Lord's Way," General Conference October 2011

Agency #3

“He does lie at our door, as the scriptures say, and he follows us each day.Every time we go out, every decision we make, we are either choosing to move in his direction or in the direction of our Savior.”
Elder Robert D. Hales, "To Act For Ourselves: The Gift and Blessing of Agency," General Conference April 2006

Charity #2

"The same priesthood power that created worlds, galaxies, and the universe can and should be part of
our lives to succor, strengthen, and bless our families, our friends, and our neighbors-- in other words, to do the things that the Savior would do if He were ministering among us today."
Elder M. Russell Ballard, "This Is My Work and My Glory," General Conference April 2013

Pornography #3

"We need to bear in mind that people can change.  They can put behind them bad habits.  They can repent from transgressions. ... We can help them to overcome their shortcomings.  We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become."
President Thomas S. Monson, "See Others As They May Become," General Conference October 2012

Self-Reliance/Provident Living #2

"Independence and self-reliance are critical to our spiritual and temporal growth. Whenever we get into situations which threaten our self-reliance, we will find our freedoms threatened as well. If we increase our dependence on anything or anyone except the Lord, we will find an immediate decrease Relief Society Magazine, Oct. 1937, p. 627.)"
in our freedom to act. As President Heber J. Grant declared, “Nothing destroys the individuality of a man, a woman, or a child as much as the failure to be self-reliant.” (
Elder L. Tom Perry, "Becoming Self-Reliant," General Conference October 1991

Pornography #2

“Pornography will always repel the Spirit of Christ and will interrupt the communications between our Heavenly Father and His children and disrupt the tender relationship between husband and wife.”
President Boyd K. Packer, "Cleansing the Inner Vessel," General Conference October 2010

Agency #2

“Agency used righteously allows light to dispel the darkness and enables us to live with joy and happiness.”
Elder Robert D. Hales, "To Act for Ourselves: The Gift and Blessings of Agency," General Conference April 2006

Charity #1

“Those who grieve frequently find themselves alone. Missed is the laughter of children, the commotion of teenagers, and the tender, loving concern of a departed companion. The clock ticks
more loudly, time passes more slowly, and four walls can indeed a prison make. I extol those who, with loving care and compassionate concern, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and house the homeless. He who notes the sparrow’s fall will not be unmindful of such service.”
President Thomas S. Monson, "Compassion," General Conference April 2001

Mental Health- Depression/Anxiety #3

"When doubt or difficulty come, do not be afraid to ask for help....  The scriptures phrase such earnest desire as being of 'real intent,' pursued 'with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God.'  I testify that in response to that kind of importuning, God will send help from both sides of the veil to strengthen our belief."
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, "Lord, I Believe," General Conference April 2013

Mental Health- Depression/Anxiety #2

"In moments of fear or doubt or troubling times, hold the ground you have already won, even if the ground is limited....  When those moments come and issues surface, the resolution of which is not immediately forthcoming, hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional
knowledge comes.... The size of your faith or the degree of your knowledge is not the issue- it is the integrity you demonstrate toward the faith you do have and the truth you already know." 
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, "Lord, I Believe," General Conference April 2013

Family #5

"There are few things more powerful than the faithful prayers of a righteous mother."
President Boyd K. Packer, "These Things I Know," General Conference April 2013

Family #4

"We will not always be safe from the adversary's influence, even within our own homes.  We need to protect our nestlings....  Latter-day Saints recognize the transcendent importance of the family and strive to live in such a way that the adversary cannot steal into our homes.  We find safety and security for ourselves and our children in honoring the covenants we have made and living up to the ordinary acts of obedience required of the followers of Christ."
President Boyd K. Packer, "These Things I Know," General Conference April 2013

Self-Reliance/Provident Living #1

"The prophetic promises and blessings of Church welfare, of providing in the Lord's way, are some of the most magnificent and sublime the Lord has pronounced upon His children. ...Whether we are rich
or poor, regardless where we live on this globe, we all need each other, for it is in sacrificing our time, talents, and resources that our spirits mature and become refined. This work of providing in the Lord's way ... cannot be neglected or set aside. It is central to our doctrine; it is the essence of our religion."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Providing in the Lord's Way," Oct. 2011 General Conference

Mental Healthy- Depression/Anxiety #1

"When comparing one’s personal performance with the supreme standard of the Lord’s expectation, the reality of imperfection can at times be depressing. My heart goes out to conscientious Saints who, because of their shortcomings, allow feelings of depression to rob them of happiness in life.
We all need to remember: men are that they might have joy—not guilt trips!  We also need to
remember that the Lord gives no commandments that are impossible to obey. But sometimes we fail to comprehend them fully."
Elder Russell M. Nelson, "Perfection Pending," General Conference October 1995

Atonement #3

"Be strong in your testimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  He is the chief cornerstone of this great work.  Of His divinity and reality I bear solemn witness.  He is the Lamb without blemish, who was
offered for the sins of then world.  Through His pain and because of His suffering I find reconciliation and eternal life.  He is my Teacher, my Exemplar, my Friend, and my Savior whom I  love and worship as the Redeemer of the world." President Gordon B. Hinckley, "Building Your Tabernacle," General Conference October 1992

Family #3

"Remember, brethren, that in your role as leader in the family, your wife is your companion.... Since the beginning, God has instructed mankind that marriage should unite husband and wife together in
unity.  Therefore, there is not a president or a vice president in a family.  The couple works together eternally for the good of the family.  They are united together in word, in deed, and in action as they lead guide, and direct their family unit.  They are on equal footing.  They plan and organize the affairs of the family jointly and unanimously as they move forward." Elder L. Tom Perry, "Fatherhood, An Eternal Calling," General Conference April 2004

Missionary Work #1

"The Church was organized in 1830.  Now, 182 years later, we remain under covenant to take the gospel to 'every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.'  As we do so, both givers and receivers will be
blessed.  Ours is the responsibility to teach His children and awaken in them an awareness of God."
Elder Russell M. Nelson, "Thanks Be To God,"  General Conference April 2012

Atonement #2

"... 'God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'  That act was a supernal manifestation of God's love.
  'For [He] sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.'  Central to God's eternal plan is the mission of His Son, Jesus Christ.  He came to redeem Gods children.  Because of the Lord's Atonement, resurrection (or immortality) became a reality.  Because of the Atonement, eternal life became a possibility for all who would qualify."
Elder Russell M. Nelson, "Thanks Be To God,"  General Conference April 2012

Family #2

"Marriage and family are ordained of God.  The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity.  Under God's great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever.  That is eternal life!  It fulfills the deepest longings of the human soul- the natural yearning for endless association with beloved members of one's family."  
Elder Russell M. Nelson, "Thanks Be to God," General Conference April 2012
