Lesson Summary: #6 Sustaining Those Whom the Lord Sustains

"In 1946, while conducting a session of general conference, President Smith introduced the sustaining of Church officers by explaining that it is more than a passive act: We now have one order of business that is customary with these Conferences; that is, the presentation of the Authorities of the Church to be sustained by the vote of the people. I hope that you will realize, all of you, that this is a sacred privilege... It will not be just a symbol but it will be an indication that, with the help of the Lord, you will carry your part of the work."
We talked about how to sustain our leaders:
-Listen to what they say
-Make time for them
-Learn from them as a mouth piece or instrument of the Lord
-Have humility
-Support our leaders in the guidance they give
-Have faith that what they have asked us to do is from God
-Pray for our leaders and their families
-Speak kindly of them
-Respect them
-Magnify our own callings
