More of you young men and women will catch this wave as you strive to be worthy of mission calls. You see this as a wave of truth and righteousness. You see your opportunity to be on the crest of that wave.
Our Eternal Father and Jesus Christ made multiple appearances to the Prophet Joseph Smith. Under their direction, other heavenly messengers came, each with a specific purpose.
- The angel Moroni revealed the Book of Mormon
- John the Baptist restored the Aaronic Priesthood
- Peter, James, and John restored the Melchizedek Priesthood
- Moses bestowed keys for the gathering of Israel
- Elias conferred keys of knowledge about Abraham
- Elijah restored keys of the sealing authority
- Isaiah prophesied that the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains.
- The exodus of Mormon pioneers to the mountains of western America is a fulfilling saga of sacrifice and faith.
- Isaiah also foretold that God will do "a marvelous work and a wonder."
- That is now being fulfilled by the sacred work of our growing army of missionaries.
The Book of Mormon is the centerpiece of the Restoration. It was written, preserved, and transmitted under the Lord's direction. It was translated "by the gift and power of God."
The book of Doctrine and Covenants contains many additional revelations given to the Prophet Joseph Smith. Through him we have received more pages of scripture than we have from any other prophet.
May we catch this wave and fulfill the Lord's command to take the gospel "to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,"
