"We live in those 'perilous times' which the Apostle Paul prophesied would come in the last days. If we are to be safe individually, as families and secure as a church, it will be through 'obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel."'
"On July 24, 1849, the Saints had been in the valley two years to the day. They finally were free from years of mobbing and persecution. It called for a great celebration."
"If you can understand a people so long-suffering, so tolerant, so forgiving, so Christian after what they had suffered, you will have unlocked the key to what a Latter-day Saint is. Rather than being consumed with revenge, they were anchored to revelation. Their course was set by the teachings still found today in the Old and the New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price."
"Today the sun never sets on congregations of the Latter-day Saints."
"We are now guided by the same revelations and led by a prophet. When the Prophet Joseph Smith died, another took his place. That order of succession continues until today."
"We will stay on course. We must anchor ourselves as families and as a church to those principles and ordinances. We must look forward with faith."
