You are His disciple; you are His friend. By His grace He will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

In his own time and in his own way, the Lord will bring about his miracles.

With all the blessings our modern age has given to us, let us not give up the things that promote the workings of the Holy Ghost.

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.

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.

Perfection does not come in this life, but we exercise faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and keep our covenants. President Monson has promised, "Your testimony, when constantly nourished, will keep you safe." We push our spiritual roots deep, feasting daily on the words of Christ in the scriptures. We trust in the words of living prophets, placed before us to show us the way. We pray and pray and listen to the quiet voice of the Holy Ghost that leads us along and speaks peace to our soul. Whatever challenges arise, we never, never leave Him.

Our conversion comes step by step, line upon line. We first build a foundation of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
