When we follow the Savior of the world, the Son of God, we flourish and become glorious despite the many terrible circumstances that surround us.

We rejoice in all the Savior has done for us. He has made it possible for each of us to gain our salvation and exaltation.

The Savior accomplished the Atonement, which resolves the most terrible burdens that can occur in this life.

Always be grateful for your blessings, especially your heritage. When we are blessed with goodly parents, we should be grateful. This is the debt each of us owes for our heritage.

As you go forth and share our core beliefs and the fruits of our doctrines, misperceptions will dissolve, prejudices will diminish, and people will come to see Latter-day Saints as devout disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Immersion in the scriptures is essential for spiritual nourishment

We can thrive and bloom if we are rooted in our love of the Savior.
