I love the Lord Jesus Christ and
testify that His gospel is the only enduring solution for peace.
His gospel is a gospel of peace.
His gospel is the only answer when many
in the world are stunned with fear.
This underscores the urgent
need for us to follow the Lord’s instructions
to His disciples,
to go into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature.
Today, I reaffirm strongly that the
Lord has asked every worthy, able young man to prepare
for and serve a mission.
For Latter-day Saint young men,
missionary service is a priesthood responsibility.
For you, young and able sisters,
a mission is also a powerful,
but optional, opportunity.
We love sister missionaries and
welcome them wholeheartedly.
What they contribute in this
work is magnificent.
Pray to know if the Lord would
have you serve a mission, and the Holy Ghost will respond
to your heart and mind.
Dear young friends, you are
each vital to the Lord.
You were sent to Earth
at this precise time, the most crucial time in the history
of the world, to help gather Israel.
There is nothing happening on this earth right now that is
more important than that.
This is the mission for which
you are sent to Earth.
