The church has moved steadily across the world from nation to nation, culture to culture, people to people, on the Lord's calendar and in his time.
I testify that through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Church has been restored and continues to move forward under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Their mandate to take the gospel to the world is the same as that of the Apostles of old.
It has been said of Africans that they have very little of that which matters least and a great deal of that which matters most. They have little interest in enormous homes and the finest cars but great interest in knowing their Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, and in having eternal families. As a natural result of their faith, the Lord is lifting them in meaningful ways.
GOOD THOUGHTS
SHARING OUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND DESIRES WITH GOD THROUGH SINCERE AND HEARTFELT PRAYER SHOULD BECOME TO EACH OF US AS IMPORTANT AND NATURAL AS BREATHING AND EATING.
SEARCHING, PONDERING, AND APPLYING THE WORDS OF CHRIST AS TAUGHT IN THE SCRIPTURES WILL BRING WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE BEYOND OUR MORTAL UNDERSTANDING.
ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS WE CAN OFFER TO THE WORLD IS THE POWER OF A CHRIST-CENTERED HOME WHERE THE GOSPEL IS TAUGHT, COVENANTS ARE KEPT, AND LOVE ABOUNDS.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO STRENGTHEN OUR LIVES AND REMAIN FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE FOUNDATION OF THE SAVIOR IS TO WORTHILY PARTAKE OF THE SACRAMENT EACH WEEK.
WORTHILY PARTAKING OF THE SACRAMENT STRENGTHENS OUR PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE FOUNDATION ROCK, EVEN TO JESUS CHRIST
ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS WE CAN OFFER TO THE WORLD IS THE POWER OF A CHRIST-CENTERED HOME WHERE THE GOSPEL IS TAUGHT, COVENANTS ARE KEPT, AND LOVE ABOUNDS.
Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.
simply stated, there are lessons we must learn and experiences we must have.
As we seek to increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor, the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us.
