I’m very grateful to live in a world where I can listen to the prophet’s voice so easily. Radio, television, live on the Internet. It’s everywhere. If I happened to miss one session, I can go online and watch and listen to all of the talks. That in itself is a testimony to me of how far we’ve come since Joseph Smith’s First Vision. I’m grateful for this Church, the gospel, and all of the prophets, seers, and revelators of our time. I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to hear God speak through these people so that I may know that I am a daughter of God and know what I need to do to prepare myself for these last days. With this technology we can listen to them again whenever we need to.

The talk given by Sister Cook really reached out to me. It made me think how much we are blessed and the blessings we receive when we live our lives on the guidelines of the Spirit and prophets.
