Presidency Message
"Sadness, disappointment, and severe challenge are events in life, not life itself. I do not minimize how hard some of these events are. They can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining center of everything you do. The Lord inspired Lehi to declare the fundamental truth, 'Men are, that they might have joy.' That is a conditional statement: “they might have joy.” It is not conditional for the Lord. His intent is that each of us finds joy. It will not be conditional for you as you obey the commandments, have faith in the Master, and do the things that are necessary to have joy here on earth". - Elder Scott
“And you cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.”
- D&C 78:18
"Your joy in life depends upon your trust in Heavenly Father and His holy Son, your conviction that their plan of happiness truly can bring you joy. Pondering their doctrine will let you enjoy the beauties of this earth and enrich your relationships with others. It will lead you to the comforting, strengthening experiences that flow from prayer to Father in Heaven and the answers He gives in return." - Elder Scott
“Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.”- D&C 19:23
Sisters, let us each strive to find joy and peace in our lives by pondering the scriptures and by obeying the commandments! Heavenly Father wants us to be joyful! He wants us to have peace, but that comes when we learn more of Him and turn more often to Him. I know that as we follow Elder Scott's counsel and study the scriptures and ponder them in prayer, that we will be given comfort and strength to pass through each experience and still be able to find joy.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

“In all things, regardless of whether we make the same choices or not, we are to treat each other with dignity and respect, both of which are evidences of charity in our hearts and lives.”

Temple Thoughts
"Within the sound of my voice are individuals who have received the ordinances of the temple and for various reasons have not returned to the house of the Lord in quite some time. Please repent, prepare, and do whatever needs to be done so you can again worship in the temple and more fully remember and honor your sacred covenants.”
David A Bednar
Provident Living Message
"Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward."
