Can we somehow muster the courage and steadfastness of purpose that characterized the pioneers of a former generation? Can you and I, in actual fact, be pioneers [today]?

The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.

Missionary service is a priesthood duty.

Whatever our calling, regardless of our fears or anxieties, let us pray and then go and do.

If you are persistent, you will succeed

As I contemplate all that you face in the world today, one word comes to my mind. It describes an attribute needed by all of us but one which you-at this time of your life and in this world-will need particularly. That attribute is courage.

Serving throughout the world is a great missionary force going about doing good. Missionaries teach truth. They dispel darkness. They spread joy. They bring precious souls to Christ.
