Blessings of the Gospel Available to All

My thoughts on Elder Sitati's talk "Blessings of the Gospel Available to All"

First off, how wonderful it is to see our General Authorities from far off lands stand at the pulpit and speak to us in a language that is obviously not their first language. You can feel the spirit as the accent they speak with make it difficult to understand their words and yet you do understand them perfectly. It is truly the Spirit that teaches. (If sending 19 year old boys to foreign counties wasn't enough proof of that.)

He gives us a great history lesson. Very well summarized. We see how the Lord keeps his promises and allows all men the agency we fought so hard to win in Heaven. The Lord is great to us.

What beautiful words he says:
"A new celestial culture is developing in homes, nurtured by the ready hearkening to the counsel of the living prophet to have daily prayer and scripture study and to meet once a week as a family in home evening. As a result, many are able to break free from the shackles of traditions that restrict the exercise of their agency."

"Celestial culture is developing in homes" Do we have a celestial culture in our home?
