Conference Notes
We Will Live Again
Sister Aburto taught about Jesus Christ’s Resurrection. Then she told a story from her life. When she was nine, her brother died. She wondered, “Where did he go? Will I see him again?” She learned that because of the Resurrection, her brother will live again! The Holy Ghost helped her feel comfort and hope.

Trying to Be Like Jesus
Elder Stevenson shared a story about being kind. A boy named Minchan and his classmates made fun of a boy at school. When he learned how sad it made the boy, Minchan felt so sorry! He apologized. He told his classmates to stop bothering the boy. Minchan became the boy’s friend. He followed Jesus’s example.

Service in the Temple
President Eyring said that when his daughter was young, she went to the temple to do temple baptisms. She was the last one being baptized that day. But there were still many names left. The temple workers asked again and again, “Can you do more baptisms?” Each time, she said yes. She was determined to serve the Lord.

Helping Others
Elder Becerra said that when he was a boy, his dad would look out for people in need. He would say, “Pobrecito” (poor little one). Then he would find a way to help. Elder Becerra learned to have compassion for others. Each person is a child of God, and we can help them.
