They came to one strong place.
Gidgiddoni was the lead commander of all the armies.  He was also a prophet.

Every member should read and study D&C 132.
We are tied together climbing a mountain.
We tie our kids to us when they're born. 
Don't cut the rope.
Protect the Achilles heel and don't take advantage of the weaknesses of those you know the best, love the most and ultimately can hurt the most.

CONFERENCE TALKS


'We are all Enlisted' by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Don't let Satan bind your tongue.  We need to speak up.
In this battle between good and evil, you cannot play for the adversary whenever temptation comes along and then expect to suit up for the Saviour at temple and mission time as if mothing has happneed.  That my young friend, you cannot do.  God will not be mocked.
What a fantastic talk that I hope to use with my own Aaronic priesthood children of my own.
'In this family, we serve missions'
I love this quote and want it to be a quote our family can live by.
So far so good since both Dru and I have served missions.
I'd love for each of my kids to serve and then for Dru and I to serve as much as we can when we become able.
I know I'll miss my kids and grandkids but they'll be ok and it'll be so good for Dru and I.  We'll love it.

DAUGHTERS IN MY KINGDOM

Chapter 8

All Heavenly Fathers sons and daughters are equally blessed as they draw upon the power of the priesthood.
The priesthood is not owned or embodied in those who hold it.  It is held in a sacred trust to be used for the benefit of men, women and children alike.
Men have no greater claim than women upon the blessing that issue from the priesthood and accompany it's possession.
Because LDS women have received the gift of the Holy Ghost they can seek and be blessed by spiritual gifts.
The family and the home are the foundation of the righteous life.
