“Live each day so that you are more prepared to meet your Maker.”

President Russell M. Nelson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “A New Normal,” 118.

“As the world speaks less of Jesus Christ, let us speak more of Him.”

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “We Talk of Christ,” 90.

Blessed during Adversity

Latter-day Saints “have been highly favored of the Lord during the challenging times we have encountered for the past several months,” said Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He gave three examples of blessings that enabled “us to endure the challenges that have come”:

• Home-centered gospel learning.

• Ministering in a higher and holier way.

• Heightened joy in the return of temple ordinances.

See “Highly Favored of the Lord,” 103–5; see also Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “God Will Do Something Unimaginable,” 51–54.
