The gift of faith is a priceless spiritual endowment... Our faith is centered in God our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. It is bolstered by our knowledge that the fullness of the gospel has been restored to the earth; that the Book of Mormon is the word of God; and that prophets and apostles today hold the keys of the priesthood. We treasure our faith, work to strengthen our faith, pray for increased faith, and do all within our power to protect and defend our faith.
The wisdom of the world, while in many cases very valuable, is most valuable when it humbly bows to the wisdom of God.
We are all in this together. With fellow ward members and missionaries, we plan and pray and help one another. Please keep the full-time missionaries in your thoughts and prayers. Trust them with your family and friends. The Lord trusts them and has called them to teach and bless those who seek Him.
No trial is so large we can't overcome it together.
In the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no place for ridicule, bullying, or bigotry.
If you're not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart-painted, as Paul said, 'not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.'
Don't let the whirlwinds drag you down. These are your days - to stand strong as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
With faith come trials of faith, bringing increased faith.
Fear and faith cannot coexist in our hearts at the same time.
With the influences of evil that surround our children, can we even imagine sending them out in the morning without kneeling and humbly asking together for the Lord's protection? Or closing the day without kneeling together and acknowledging our accountability before Him and our thankfulness for His blessings? Brothers and sisters, we need to have family prayer.
Faith in Jesus Christ is a gift from heaven that comes as we choose to believe and as we seek it and hold on to it.
As you keep the commandments and pray in faith to see the Lord's hand in your life, I promise you that He will open your spiritual eyes even wider, and you will see more clearly that you are not alone.
This isn't missionary work. This is missionary fun.
Repentance is a blessing to all of us. We each need to feel the Savior's arms of mercy through the forgiveness of our sins.
But our trials need not be spiritually fatal. They need not take us from our covenants or from the household of God.
The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God.
My young friends, ... not all the whirlwinds in life are of your own making. Some come because of the wrong choices of others, and some come just because this is mortality. You are His son or His daughter. He made your spirit strong and capable of being resilient to the whirlwinds of life. The whirlwinds in your youth, like the wind against a young tree, can increase your spiritual strength, preparing you for the years ahead.
Our conversion comes step by step, line upon line. We first build a foundation of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Can you see the hand of God in your own life?

We see God's miracles in His wondrous work and in our own personal lives.
Repentance is powerful spiritual medicine. There are few spiritual ills it will not cure. Each sin we leave behind through our faith in the living Christ-both those of commission and those of omission-opens spiritual doors. As we feel the potency of repentance, we better understand why Christ admonished the early missionaries of this dispensation to "say nothing but repentance unto this generation."
The blessings of the priesthood are infinitely greater than the one who is asked to administer the gift.
Embrace more deeply His love, His mercy and grace, and the powerful gifts of His Atonement.
