Brothers and sisters, this is a divine work in process, with the manifestations and blessings of it abounding in every direction, so please donโt hyperventilate if from time to time issues arise that need to be examined, understood, and resolved. They do and they will. In this Church, what we know will always trump what we do not know. And remember, in this world, everyone is to walk by faith.
Jeffrey R. HollandAbove all, never lose faith in your Father in Heaven, who loves you more than you can comprehend.

Jeffrey R. HollandLove. Healing. Help. Hope. The power of Christ to counter all troubles in all timesโincluding the end of times. That is the safe harbor God wants for us in personal or public days of despair. That is the message with which the Book of Mormon begins, and that is the message with which it ends, calling all to 'come unto Christ, and be perfected in him' (Moroni 10:32).
Jeffrey R. HollandLive the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. Give priesthood blessings. And bear your testimony!

Yet at the end of the day there would still be those "in the attitude of mocking and point their fingers" as Lehi saw (1 Nephi 8:27) because however much one tries in the world of glamour and fashion, it will never be glamorous enough.
