"Building Up a Righteous Posterity"


I mentioned that I'm reading the transcpript from the Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting on the side of my blog but since that changes often I thought I would get a more permanant plug in.
I did not hear/watch this meeting first hand, in fact I knew nothing about it, but I remember the next day at church was a fast Sunday and a lot of people were referring to it. I was kind of disappointed (and bugged because I didn't know about it) that I had missed something so good and relevant to my situation.
Soon after I printed the whole thing from the internet but I didn't ever read farther than the first talk. Then when it came out in booklet form with the last Ensign I set it by my bedside to read with Glenn. Finally last night I decided that I just needed to read it! Hopefully I can read it later with Glenn but if not oh well.
Anyway it's a great resource. I love the way it was presented in a round table discussion because it feels so comfortable, like I'm just talking with a group of good friends. And what friends! I really admire all of the people that were involved: Elder Holland, Elder Oaks, Sister Beck, Sister Tanner and Sister Lant.
Elder Packer and Pres. Monson also spoke in the meeting. I think I'll be referring to this resource often in the next 20 years or so, or more likely forever.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to read it too. Sounds interesting.
