Notes from when Elder Dallin H. Oaks came to visit us

• Teach by the spirit or "ye shall not teach"

• Spirit can come in the form of "pure intelligence" as we qualify for it

• In a Blessing you may have a "restraining revelation" about things NOT to say

• "The Lord usually doesn't give revelation when we are sitting in the shade waiting to find out where to go." Be diligent and be worthy to receive it.

• "Be prepared to say something you hadn't previously thought of."

• We each have different spiritual gifts / we need to magnify those we have been blessed with.

• Prophets – Testify of Christ. Both men and women may be prophets as we teach and testify of Christ.

• Scriptures are a personal Urim and Thumimm / Prayer before study helps our understanding & revelation received.

• We are more likely to get revelation when we are humble.

• Revelation comes when we are "in harmony" with the word of the Lord.

• To help members have "real intent" we need to introduce them to the principle of commitment (action) and follow-up faithfully.

• We need to be "every missionary a member" and always partake of the sacrament worthily after repenting of our transgressions.
