Here is a link to the talk that President Uchtdorf gave in Conference this past October. I just read it in the Ensign today and I really liked it and thought I would share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy it like I did.

Welcome to Conference
"Welcome to Conference"
by President Thomas S. Monson
"Thank you, my brothers and sisters, for your faith and devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ."
"Once again we call upon the members of the Church to reach out to the new converts or to those making their way back into the Church, to surround them with love and to help them feel at home."
"May the Lord bless you as you strive to follow Him and to obey His commandments."
"It is my prayer that we may be filled with His Spirit as we listen and learn."
Each month I receive an Ensign of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In April, the church had a General Conference which is what they put in the Ensign the following month that included each and every talk that was spoken there. For each talk I highlighted my favorite parts. I will have more General Conference highlights...
General Conference: for those that don't know what this is, it is where the leaders of the church speak to the members of the church about different topics. For some of us, General Conference is a way of guidance, others it may be for comfort. It is also a time of learning

1, 2, 3...
I found a sheet of paper with a list of 3 things that I must have received from a church class...I like it, so I thought I would share with you....
1."You will notice in each situation in which Joseph [Smith] found himself that the Lord was with him. Is was easy to recognize the special spirit in him because of the way he lived and heeded the voice of the Lord to direct him. That same recognition will surely be with each of us as we are led and directed by His Holy Spirit. Listen to the still, small voice when you are faced with a time of decision. It will surely be a strong warning voice to tell you to turn off the wrong kind of music, to flee from the degrading television programs, or to get out of a web page that will only bring evil throughts into your mind. The Holy Spirit will let you know when you are in forbidden territory. I promise you, if you will heed the voice of warning of the Holy Ghost and will follow His direction, you will be blessed with the ministering of angels, which will add wisdom, knowledge, power, and glory to your life. Remember, the Lord is bound by solemn covenant to bless our lives according to our faithfulness. Only He can turn us into men in whom the Spirit of God namely the Holy Ghost, is."
--L. Tom Perry, "Becoming Men in Whom the Spirit of God Is," Ensign, May 2002
2. "Elder Hartman Rector Jr. Explained: '[The] ability to turn everything into something good appears to be a godly characteristic. Our Heavenly Father always seems able to do this. Everything, no matter how dire, becomes a victory to the Lord. Joseph, although a slave and wholly undeserving of this fate, nevertheless remained faithful to the Lord and continued to live the commandments and made something very good of his degrading circumstances. People like this cannot be defeated.'"
--In Conference Report, Oct. 1972
3. "Do not attend, view, or participate in entertainment that is vulgar, immoral, violent, or pornographic in any way. Do not participate in entertainment that in any way presents immorality or violent behavior as acceptable. Pornography in all it's forms is especially dangerous and addictive. What may begin as a curious indulgence can become a destructive habit that takes control of your life. It can lead you to sexual transgression and even criminal behavior. Pornography is a poison that weakens your self control, changes the way you see others, causes you to lose the guidance of the Spirit, and can even affect your ability to have a normal relationship with your future spouse."
