Challenging times can bring unexpected opportunities.
Some of us just drown no matter what happens.
During the past few months, a global pandemic, raging wildfires, and other natural disasters have turned our world upside down. I grieve with each of you who has lost a loved one during this time. And I pray for all who are currently suffering.
Meanwhile, the work of the Lord is steadily moving forward. Amid social distancing, face masks, and Zoom meetings, we have learned to do some things differently and some even more effectively. Unusual times can bring unusual rewards.
We don’t need to be afraid of change, even unexpected change.
I pray that we as a people are using this unique time to grow spiritually. We are here on earth to be tested, to see if we will choose to follow Jesus Christ, to repent regularly, to learn, and to progress. Our spirits long to progress. And we do that best by staying firmly on the covenant path.
We made some great progress through the changes if the pandemic, just not necessarily spiritual progress.
I pray that you will choose to lay hold upon the word of God as it is declared during this general conference.
