The painting behind me
depicts Nauvoo, Illinois, in the United States. With its beautiful
temple, Nauvoo was a signal achievement
for the Church. Sadly, the Saints had to
abandon their beautiful city and temple. But their story
did not end there. You will experience
Church history as never before in a new
account called Saints, The Story of the Church of
Jesus Christ in the Latter Days. I encourage you to read it. All the events in it are real. All the people are real. Like you and me, they struggled
with weakness and adversity, overcoming great odds
to build the kingdom. This book is filled with
fascinating insights and facts that you may not know. The Restoration continues
today all around the world in the hearts and minds
of all who seek the truth. The story of the
Restoration does not stop in Nauvoo or North America,
and neither does this history. When completed, Saints
will include four volumes that chronicle the growth
of this Latter-day work across the face of the earth
from 1820 to the present day. You can get it in print
in the Gospel Library app as an ebook, an audio book,
and online at saints.lds.org. In it, you will
see the Lord's hand in the lives of His children. In it, you will see His
grand Latter-day work to restore His kingdom
and fulfill His covenants. I invite you to read Saints
and ponder the Lord's mercy and the majesty of His work
portrayed in its pages. [MUSIC PLAYING]
