We are going to make mistakes, but none of us can become an expert in family history work without first being a novice.

The future will present insurmountable problems- only when we consider them insurmountable.

When you’re on the Lord’s errand, you’re entitled to the Lord’s blessings.

The effectiveness of an inspired bishop, adviser, or teacher has very little to do with the outward trappings of power or an abundance of this world's goods. The leaders who have the most influence are usually those who set hearts afire with devotion to the truth, who make obedience to duty seem the essence of manhood, who transform some ordinary routine occurrence so that it becomes a vista where we see the person we aspire to be.

Who was this Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief? Who is the King of glory, this Lord of hosts? He is our Master. He is our Savior. He is the Son of God. He is the Author of our Salvation. He beckons, “Follow me.” He instructs, “Go, and do thou likewise.” He pleads, “Keep my commandments.” Let us follow Him. Let us emulate His example. Let us obey His word. By so doing, we give to Him the divine gift of gratitude.

May your homes be filled with peace, harmony, courtesy, and love. May they be filled with the Spirit of the Lord.
