Adjectives of General Conference

This past weekend was the 184th Semi Annual General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was two days full of wonderful council from our church leaders. 

I have been sick with a sinus infection so as I listened I would go to sleep for a minute then wake up and wasn't to coherent at times. I decided to writing down words that struck me as words that we as church members use a lot to describe our church or things we believe in. Since Adjectives are describing words this fit perfect. Some are phrases as well. So, here goes, my list:
Faith 
Courage
Courtesy
Gratitude
Kindness
Love
Miracles
Forgiveness
Repentance
Humility
Empathy
Blessed
Joyful
Grace
Mercy
Do Good
Become Better
Mortal Capacities
Cleanse
Heal
Guide
Protect
Strengthen
Learn
Knowledge
Fasting
Praying
Father, Who Art In Heaven
Parenthood
Eternal
Blessings
Secret Yearnings
Prayerful Pleadings
Healed
Power
Call Upon
Follow
Witness
He Lives
Only Begotten
Heritage
Baptism
Covenants
Saints
Apastalic
Restored
Honor
Eternal
Family
Obedient
Promptings
Consequences
Gentle Tug of the Spirit
Spiritual
Commandments
Obedient/Obey
Strengthen
Choice
Accountable
Modest
Truth
Glorious
Salvation
Exalted Being
Prophecy
Promptings
Hope
Charity
Family Ordained of God
Service
Spiritual
Honest
Chast
Benevolent
Virtuous
Sincerely
Discipleship
Stewardship
Atoning
Sacrifice

I know all of these aren't exactly Adjectives but I feel they are words and phrases that we as church members know, use and understand.
Here are a few quotes I wrote hastily and I hope I have the right speakers. 

President Thomas S. Monson:
"Blame keeps wounds open, only forgiveness heals."
"We cannot truly love God without loving our fellow man."

Elder David A. Bednar:
"Is the load I'm carrying sufficient spiritual taction so I can safely get home to my Heavenly Father?"

Elder L. Tom Perry:
"Someone wrapped up in themselves is a very small package."

Elder Michael Teh:
"Recognize when we have enough. (Jacob) Do not spend money on that of no worth."

Wonderful talks, all of them, I need to read them and read this list of adjectives and become these "describing" words.
