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

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.

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

I urge the husbands and fathers of this church to be the kind of a man your wife would not want to be without.

Into every life there come the painful, despairing days of adversity.

If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being.

We acquire a testimony of the principles of the gospel by obediently trying to live them.
