Trevor (left) and his companion preparing to harvest.Hey all!
As you know, Melanie's brother, Trevor, is serving his mission in Kobe, Japan. Trevor's birthday is coming up, and we wanted to send him some inspirational talks as a birthday present. To this end, please let us know of any speeches or talks that have inspired you to live better. We are hoping to send him quite a collection...

What a great idea!
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but here's my most favorite talk ever on the Atonement: It's by elder Bruce C. Hafen and it's titled "Beauty for Ashes" http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=03cd9527730eb010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=f318118dd536c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD
Thanks Juli, the following are some of my favorite talks. I hope to have quite a bit more for Elder Wiser.
1) Jeffrey R. Holland, "Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence"
2) Henry B. Eyring, "Always"
3) Gene R. Cook, "Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ"
4) John Groberg, "The Lord's Wind"
5) Ezra Taft Benson, "Beware of Pride"
6) Jeffrey R. Holland, "Will We Finish The Temple Brother Brigham?"
You probably already sent this, but I was just reading a couple of my favorites.
1. Elder Hafen April 2004 Conference "The Atonement: All for All"
2. Elder Holland Conference sometime before 2003..."An High Priest of Good Things to Come"
3. Elder Bednar BYU Devotional Oct. 2001 "The Enabling Power of the Atonement"
What a great idea! :)
The first thing that comes to mind is the book 'In His Steps'. I know it isn't church doctrine, but it is an amazing book that is very inspriational. This is where the phrase, "what would Jesus do?" came from.
Two of Anna's talks were going to be mine. Can you tell we lived together?
I love Elder Holland's "Come Unto Christ"
Also Elder Bednar's "In the Strength of the Lord"
I'll have to think about this more...good luck!
