A Mormon Woman's Reflections on Life and the Gospel of Jesus Christ

LDS (Mormon) General Conference April 2010 Gathering in Salt Lake City

President Thomas Monson, Mormon Prophet, Closes 180th Mormon Annual Gathering of General Conference

Of the April 2010 Mormon gathering, the 180th Session of the Mormon Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the living prophet, Thomas S. Monson, said in great sincerity, ” I’ve never heard finer words spoken in so few words.”  He testified of the Lord’s mindfulness of each of us and acknowledged His hand in his life.

To that, Mormon (LDS) prophet–Christ’s mouthpiece on the earth today just as Moses, Noah, Abraham anciently– added one scripture verse for our pondering and consideration:

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thine own understanding, in all thy ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path.

This, the prophet, Thomas Monson indicates, represents the story of his life.

Encouraging all to ponder and review and apply the talks that will be printed in full in the upcoming Ensign, the Church magazine available to all, members and friends of other faiths alike, he closed with a plea to look to the lighthouse of the Lord in all of our storms.  He testified that the Lord is our Rock in whom is our strength.

Closing with his final testimony–with heart full and tender feelings–he added a note of gratitude to the members for all the prayers offered on his behalf.  He then invoked the blessings of heaven upon each of us, by virtue of his prophetic mantle, blessing us that the messages of the Spirit of this conference might find expression in all we do at home, work, in our meetings and in all our comings and goings, and offered his benediction in the name of Jesus Christ.
