There is much that is difficult and challenging in the world today, my brothers and sisters, but there is also much that is good and uplifting. As we declare in our thirteenth article of faith, 'If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.' May we ever continue to do so.

We continue to build temples. We desire that as many members as possible have an opportunity to attend the temple without having to travel inordinate distances.

We must not let our passions destroy our dreams.

Through personal prayer, through family prayer, by trusting in God with faith, nothing wavering, we can call down to our rescue His mighty power.

Don't save something for a special occasion. Every day of your life is a special occasion.

Stand for right, even if you stand alone.

Ours is the responsibility to keep our light bright for others to see and follow.
