Rising as a Generation

The Savior’s call is to you of the rising generation. He is asking for worthy, prepared, faithful young men and young women who will heed the prophet’s voice. …

… I pray that you of this rising generation will stand up for truth and righteousness and understand your sacred call to go and teach all nations.

Elder Brent H. Nielsen of the Seventy

To you Aaronic Priesthood holders, I believe that by doing these three simple things you can make your relationship with your father even better than it is right now.

First, trust your father. … He is entitled to inspiration on your behalf. His advice to you will be the heartfelt expressions of someone who knows and loves you. …

Second, take an interest in your father’s life. … Your love, admiration, and understanding will increase by what you learn. …

And third, ask your father for advice. Let’s be honest: he is probably going to give you his advice whether you ask for it or not, but it just works so much better when you ask!

Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

I strongly felt that the most important thing to do is to love our fellowman as much as we can.

Parker R., 14, Arizona

The good women of the world are embracing the gospel of Jesus Christ in large numbers across the nations. You are the real heroines he was talking about. … We have seen the light of the gospel reflected in your faces. Your example and influence for good are both extraordinary and remarkable.

Silvia H. Allred, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency

In recent months I have heard deacons, teachers, and priests give talks which are clearly as inspired and powerful as you will hear in this general conference. As I have felt the power being given to young holders of the priesthood, I have thought that the rising generation is rising around us, as if on an incoming tide. My prayer is that those of us in the generations which have come before will rise on the tide with them. The preparation of the Aaronic Priesthood is a blessing to us all as well as to those they will serve in their generation and the generations to follow.

President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency
