"Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men.
But now hold your peace; study my word which hath gone forth among the children of men, and also study my word which shall come forth among the children of men, or that which is now translating, yea, until you have obtained all which I shall grant unto the children of men in this generation, and then shall all things be added thereto."
~D&C 11:21-22~
I am so grateful that we have the direction of a living prophet, apostles and other church leaders in our lives, who are the mouthpieces for the Lord in these latter-days! These 10 talks have changed my perspective, my actions, my attitude and my life. I would encourage everyone to take time to read even just one of these talks. I promise that the Spirit will impress you with thoughts on how to improve your own life, as it has done for me.

"The Hope of God's Light"
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
General Conference April 2013
Favorite Quote:
“God’s light is real. It is available to all!
It gives life to all things. It has the power to soften the sting of the
deepest wound. It can be a healing balm for the loneliness and sickness of
our souls. In the furrows of despair, it can plant the seeds of a brighter
hope. It can enlighten the deepest valleys of sorrow. It can illuminate
the path before us and lead us through the darkest night into the promise
of a new dawn.”
