President Hinckley's strong, continuing challenge to us is retention, which requires full cooperation between the missionary, the leaders and members.

Family home evening is for everyone.... We need the strength that comes from family home evening.

We should ask ourselves: What are the Brethren saying? The living prophets can open the visions of eternity; they give counsel on how to overcome the world. We cannot know what that counsel is if we do not listen.

What are we doing to keep the light shining in our own eyes and countenances; Much of that light comes from our discipline dedication and consecration.

As we look into the future, we are going to need to be stronger and more responsible for our choices in a world where people "call evil good, and good evil." We do not choose wisely if we use our agency in opposition to God's will or to priesthood counsel. Tomorrow's blessings and opportunities depend on the choices we make today.

I hope we can all overcome any differences of culture, race, and language.

Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. . . . Peace comes through hope.
