1 invitation from general conference
"Our relationship with the Savior enables us to approach difficulties with smiling faces and grateful hearts." Elder Godoy points out that these African saints have "a positive attitude because they center their lives in the gospel of Jesus Christ. They know where to find help and hope." It seems implied that we should do the same.

+ a recent quote from an apostle
I invite each of you to spend some time - you might … use the Topical Guide - but find verses about the Resurrection. Study them. Ponder them. Feel the power in them. And it will contribute in a very important way to the holiness and the happiness that you experience in this Easter season. I joyfully declare my witness that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of the Eternal Father. And I witness: He lives! He is risen. I delight in that knowledge. I rejoice in bearing that testimony.

1 teaching from the prophet
Potential adversaries should begin their discussions by identifying common ground on which all agree. To follow our Perfect Role Model and His prophet, we need to practice what is popularly known as the Golden Rule: "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." We need to love and do good to all. We need to avoid contention and be peacemakers in all our communications. This does not mean to compromise our principles and priorities but to cease harshly attacking others for theirs. That is what our Perfect Role Model did in His ministry. That is the example He set for us as He invited us to follow Him.
