Elder Wong’s Talk on Teamwork

I really enjoyed watching General Conference this past weekend.  I especially loved hearing talks in native tongues. Was anyone else bothered by the dubbing of english over their voices?  I would have preferred to just have subtitles and hear their voice.  It was still awesome!

I loved Elder Wong’s talk.  He spoke of the story of when Christ healed the man stricken with palsy, where his friends had to lower him through the roof.  His example of bringing it into our time and how we need to have teamwork to help heal others was so meaningful to me.

I visit teach a Sister who has a daughter who has been struggling with health issues for almost 4 years.  I LOVE this family.  Indeed there is a team who serves them from the ward.  I wish all realized each little thing they did means so much.  I wish more would reach out.  I want to go and assign this talk to everyone in the ward to read!!

Similarly, members must “work together in unity and in harmony” in order to assist the Savior in rescuing others. “Everyone, every position, and every calling is important,” Elder Wong said. “We have to be united in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Of course I also thought about how it applies to birth.  How it takes a team to create, grow and birth a baby.  While really it is the Mom who bears most of the burden, as those around her work in unity and harmony her pregnancy, birth and postpartum can go so much more smoothly!

What was your favorite talk?
