How are you!! Thank you for your
email!!! I did indeed watch conference and it was wonderful!! I loved it so
much!! What was your favorite address? I came with a question to conference and
this is an explanation for why. President Mehr in our last Skype meeting as
zone leaders throughout the mission asked us what our priorities would be going
home? And it was tough trying to set them. This is a talk given by Elder
Ballard for how we can have a balanced life.
1. Establish
Priorities
Think about your
life and set your priorities.
2. Set Attainable Goals
Set short-term goals that you can reach.
3. Budget Wisely
Through wise budgeting, control your real needs and measure them carefully against your many wants in life.
4. Build Relationships
Build relationships with your companions and members through open and honest communication.
5. Study the Scriptures
Search the scriptures. They offer one of the best sources we have to keep in touch with the Spirit of the Lord.
6. Take Care of Yourself
Good physical appearance enhances our dignity and self-respect.
7. Live the Gospel
“teach one another the doctrine of the kingdom” (D&C 88:77), which will lead families to eternal life.
8. Pray Often
You can know the right decisions to make each day through constant, sincere prayer.
