Rise Up in Strength in These Perilous Times

Bonnie L. Oscarson

“I believe with all of my heart that we sisters do have the innate strength and faith that will allow us to meet the challenges of living in the last days. …

“… We need to study and understand [Jesus Christ’s] Atonement. …

“… We need to understand the need for the restoration of the doctrine, organization, and keys of authority in these latter days [through the Prophet Joseph Smith]. …

“… We need to study and understand temple ordinances and covenants. …

“… I testify that the Lord has blessed us, as women who live in these perilous times, with all of the power, gifts, and strength that are needed.”

Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women General President, “Rise Up in Strength, Sisters in Zion,” Ensign, Nov. 2016, 13, 15.
