Elder Henry B. Eyring

Don't let the world change you when YOU were born to change the world!
Elder Bradley Wilcox: "When we use our moral agency to make and keep covenants with God, we become heirs of the everlasting covenant God has made with our forebears in every dispensation. Said another way, we become ‘children of the covenant.’ That sets us apart. That gives us access to the same blessings our forefathers and foremothers received, including a birthright.....Don’t sell your birthright for a mess of pottage!!"
“I bear witness of God, our Eternal Father, who loves us; of His son, Jesus Christ, who saved us.” “They know our hurts and challenges. They will never forsake us, and know perfectly how to succor us. We can be of good cheer as we trust Them more than anyone or anything else.”

My decision to follow _______ _________ is the most __________ decision I have ever made!
Pres Nelson: "My decision to follow Jesus Christ is the most important decision i have ever made!"
Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him!
Talk about, testify of, have faith in, and rejoice in Jesus Christ! Come unto Him and offer your whole soul to Him. This is the secret to a life of Joy! The best is yet to come!"
What works for Thee, works for Me!
Elder Ulisses Soares: One of the most glorious moments of mortality occurs when we discover the joy that comes when “what works for the Lord” and “what works for us” become one and the same!
To make the Lord’s will our own requires majestic and heroic discipleship! At that moment, we become consecrated to the Lord, and we totally yield our will to Him. Such spiritual submissiveness, is beautiful, powerful, and transformational. I pray that each of us, will be able to declare with covenant confidence, to our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ that “what works for Thee works for me.”
