So I found on this guy's blog, he posted a sermon from a pastor in Illinois, here it is:

I'm used to the newest one being at the top so I listened to the first one I saw, and I really like hearing that, I've never heard a sermon from a pastor before, so it was kind of eye-opening.
The best part was I found the perfect talk given in General Conference that explains the unanswered questions in the sermon, now I already knew that, but I think it's really a great thing to read after hearing that:

so, just anyone who wants, i think its a great experience.

TS: “Well, what do I think?”
WW: “What do you think, or what do we think?”
TS: “Is there a difference?”
WW: “There’s always a difference. You may be me, but the fact that we’re
talking means we have different intentions.”
TS: “Or, I’m just here to guide you onto the path you
already want.”
WW: “Do you think I’d allow that? I’m not of the character to be convinced.”
TS: “I don’t think you’ll have a choice, that is, as I’ve
said, why I’m here.”
WW: “Well then it would seem the position I’m in is already
a losing one. But, I don’t really believe
you, and you probably know that already.
I can’t really see you being here without having been prepared.”
TS: “Oh, I don’t need anything I haven’t learned here with
you. I can feel it in the way your heart
beats, in every step. You don’t want her
anymore.”
WW: “I love her, and I’m not giving up so easily.”
TS: “With the way she hurt you?”
WW: “That’s not-”
TS: “Her fault? No,
it’s yours, you drove her to that and now her life is suffering. You’ll leave her, you have to.”
WW: “That’s not the only option.”
TS: “Isn’t it?! How
much longer will you let this drag on?
You’re choices are to end it, or let them rot.”
WW: “. . . I don’t buy it, and I’m not going to force anybody
to ruin their life so I can suffer less.”
TS: “Of course you will, that’s what you do, that’s who you
are.”
WW: “Look, if I must, then I must. But until then, I’m not pressing the issue.”
[Later]
“Well, are you going to do it now?”
“It’s not your decision, I still feel the same way.”
“Hmph, love, the only thing it’s done is put you in this
position, I say finish it.”
“You say a lot of things, and by the way, how does that even
work, given your state?”

I didn't want to come back here. But I was looking for things, and I guess it felt right to say a few things. I honestly believe what has happened to me here and elsewhere was to teach me something. I still don't know what yet, I'm still stressed, I'm still scared, I'm still lonely, but I don't know what I'd be without these things. I guess I'm coming back here tonight to find what I missed. When I was so consumed with what I thought I wanted, I ended up missing what I may have needed. Well, I guess that's it with the vagueness now. I don't really know who might read this, but despite that. . . I'm flawed. . . maybe broken. . . and I like it that way. . . it's liberating, and beautiful. And I think that's all I want right now. Thank You.
