Roxy's Stats: 'Invitations from our Beloved Prophet'
Hi guys
So today I am sharing the invitations that was given from our Beloved Prophet Thomas S. Monson. His invitations were more so focused on the Temple and so we need to be focus on it as one of the most important thing in our lives to do.....We are to always strive to have the Temple in our sights even if you do not live where a Temple is, put out your utmost effort to do all you can in order to attend the nearest one to you and your lives will be blessed....
Attend the temple
During the April 2015 general conference, President Thomas S. Monson bore testimony of the blessings of temple attendance:
“As we go to the temple, as we remember the covenants we make there, we will be better able to overcome those temptations and to bear our trials,” he said. “In the temple we can find peace. …
“May our Heavenly Father bless us that we may have the spirit of temple worship, that we may be obedient to His commandments, and that we may follow carefully the steps of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Express gratitude for Jesus Christ's gifts
As we celebrate Easter, “may we offer prayers of gratitude for His great and marvelous gifts to us.”
Reflect on responsibilities and duty of callings
“Let us consider our callings,” he said. “Let us reflect on our responsibilities; let us determine our duty; and let us follow Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
Quoting Doctrine and Covenants 121:45, he said, “Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly.”
Learn of and follow Jesus Christ
“We are engaged in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ,” he concluded. “Let us learn of Him. Let us follow in His footsteps. Let us live by His precepts.”

'A Fifteen Second Review' by Trevor Hicken: "The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge"
Just got a hands on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in T-mobile here in Milpitas. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is impressive. The phone feels rock solid and the rounded sides feels nice and gives the screen a more immersive display. I watched a video in YouTube and the looks HD. The volume of the stereo is pretty good. The best thing though is the new Image Stabilizing 16MB camera. I took a quick selfie and my brother Alex and I were greatly surprised by the quality. The zoom wasn't pixilated and made my face as if it was airbrushed. The build quality itself. I enjoyed it $700 but it looks like the best contender for your buck compared to the HTC One M9
