Quote By: Neil L. Andersen
Topic: Book of Mormon
Quote: When President Henry B. Eyring was a teenager, his family moved to a new city. He initially found the move unpleasant and made few friends. He felt like he didn’t fit in with the students in his high school. The whirlwinds were swirling. What did he do? He threw his energy into the Book of Mormon, reading it many times. Years later, President Eyring testified: “I [love to] go back to the Book of Mormon and drink deeply and often. [It] is the most powerful written testimony we have that Jesus is the Christ.”

Prayer - Dawn J. Young
Quote By: Dawn J. Young
Topic: Prayer
Quote: Three little boys were flying a kite in a field away from their homes. It began to rain, and they wanted to save their kite. As they hastily pulled it from the sky, it caught on a tree limb high over their heads. They found a long stick and tried to pull it down, but they couldn’t reach it. They tried everything they could think of to get it down, but the kite just turned and twisted in the storm. One of the boys finally said to the others, “I think we should pray.” The other two looked at him, then followed his lead, bowing their heads while he said the words. As they opened their eyes, they saw a car coming toward them down the road that led to the field. As it neared, the boys stood motionless and almost breathless, staring at the lady driving the car. Their stares fascinated the lady, so she stopped and called to them, “Are you having trouble?” “Yes,” they said. “Our kite is caught on the tree. Will you help us get it down?” “I’ll try,” she said. “Stand away while I back up.” She backed her car to position it under the kite, then she got out, climbed on top of the car, and, with the long stick retrieved the kite. When the boy who had offered the prayer carried his kite into the kitchen, he told his mother about the kite’s getting caught in the tree. She asked, “Who helped you get your kite down?” “Heavenly Father,” he replied. The boy, who had prayed with perfect trust, knew the answer to a prayer when he saw it.

Prayer - Ezra Taft Benson
Quote By: Ezra Taft Benson
Topic: Prayer
Quote: It is soul-satisfying to know that God is mindful of us and ready to respond when we place our trust in Him and do that which is right. There is no place for fear among men and women who place their trust in the Almighty, who do not hesitate to humble themselves in seeking divine guidance through prayer. Though persecutions arise, though reverses come, in prayer we can find reassurance, for God will speak peace to the soul. That peace, that spirit of serenity, is life’s greatest blessing.

Repentance - Neil L. Andersen
Quote By: Neil L. Andersen
Topic: Repentance
Quote: The Lord's desire that we come unto Him and be wrapped in His arms is often an invitation to repent. The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around to "re-turn" toward God. It is the beckoning of a loving Father and His Only Begotten Son to be more than we are, to reach up to a higher way of life, to change, and to feel the happiness of keeping the commandments.

Quote By: D. Todd Christofferson
Topic: Atonement
Quote: The Savior's suffering in Gethsemane and His agony on the cross redeem us from sin by satisfying the demands that justice has upon us. He extends mercy and pardons those who repent.

mortal ministry was filled with teaching, serving, and loving others. He sat down with

Courage - Jeffrey R. Holland
Quote By: Jeffrey R. Holland
Topic: Courage
Quote: You may wonder if it is worth it to take a courageous moral stand in high school or to
go on a mission only to have your most cherished beliefs reviled or to strive against much in
society that sometimes ridicules a life of religious devotion. Yes, it is worth it, because the
alternative is to have our “houses” left unto us “desolate”—desolate individuals, desolate
families, desolate neighborhoods, and desolate nations.
