All Things Eternal

"You are growing up in enemy territory. When you become mature spiritually, you will understand how the adversary has infiltrated the world around you...In most cases his presence is undetected.


I want to tell you that which will be of most worth and most desirable. The scriptures say, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom," and I would add, "with all your getting get going!" I do not have time to waste and neither do you. So listen up!


You are not ordinary. You are very special. You are exceptional. How do I know that? 


I know that because you were born at a time and in a place where the gospel of Jesus Christ can come into your life through the teachings and activities of your home and of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.


Do not fear the future. Go forward with hope and faith.


Remember that supernal gift of the Holy Ghost.


 Learn to be taught by it. Learn to seek it. Learn to live by it. Learn to pray always in the name of Jesus Christ. The Spirit of the Lord will attend you, and you will be blessed. We have deep and profound faith in you."
