Now, I am grateful that
today none of our people are stranded on the
Wyoming highlands. But I know that
all about us there are many who are in
need of help and who are deserving of rescue. Our mission in life, as
followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be a
mission of saving. There are the homeless,
the hungry, the destitute. Their condition is obvious. We have done much. We can do more to help those who
live on the edge of survival. We can reach out
to strengthen those who wallow in the
mire of pornography, gross immorality, and drugs. Many have become so addicted
that they have lost power to control their own destinies. They are miserable and broken. They can be salvaged and saved. It is not with those on
the high plains of Wyoming that we need to be
concerned today. It is with many immediately
around us, in our families, in our wards and stakes, in our
neighborhoods and communities.
