Russell M. Nelson

My dear sisters, whatever your calling, whatever your circumstances, we need your impressions, your insights, and your inspiration. We need you to speak up and speak out in ward and stake councils.

Our personal intelligence is everlasting and divine.

Contention existed before the earth was formed.

Contemplation of life after retirement and life after death can help you deal with contemporary challenges.

Service of any type requires preparation.

A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God - more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.

If one accepts the terms of the covenant and obeys God's law, he or she receives the blessings associated with the covenant.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

I doubt that the Lord cares much which honorable vocation you choose. But He does care if you love one another and serve one another.

Have you not learned that strength comes to an ordinary soul when given an extraordinary calling?

We teach that God's love for His children is infinite.

No, we don't own our children. Our parental privilege is to love them, to lead them, and to let them go.
