Tonight we gather together all over the world as His disciples, with a desire to defend and sustain the kingdom of God.
I wonder if “defend” is really descriptive of what women should seek to do. In extraordinary circumstances surely but I think this kind of verbiage blurs gender roles.
I am going to hum a Primary song. And as soon as you recognize the tune, will you begin singing with me?
I felt a spirit if sweet power when those girls began singing “Teach me to walk in the light.” I felt it again when the young women and women sang the second verse.
As women of all ages, we walk in His light. Our journey on the path is personal and well lit with the Savior’s love.
We enter the gate to the path of eternal life with the ordinance and covenant of baptism, and then we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Elder Robert D. Hales asks us, “Do [we] understand and do [our] children understand that when [we] are baptized [we] are changed forever?”
He also explained that “when we understand our baptismal covenant and the gift of the Holy Ghost, it will change our lives and will establish our total allegiance to the kingdom of God. When temptations come our way, if we will listen, the Holy Ghost will remind us that we have promised to remember our Savior and obey the commandments of God.”
Each one of us is on that path. Tonight we sang about walking the path in the light. As individuals, we are strong. Together with God, we are unstoppable.
