Here’s a look inside the missionary assignment room.

This is where my fellow apostles and I come frequently to assign the thousands of missionaries that are applying to serve missions all over the world.

This process is inspired, revelatory, and I love it with all my heart.

At 36, Admiral James Stavridis (@stavridisj) had his first command, a guided missile destroyer with 350 sailors and a record of winning every award. He figured the streak would hold.

Then came a routine engineering inspection. The ship failed it so badly the inspectors told him he was not safe to operate, and they towed the destroyer back into port, past every other ship in San Diego, with the whole fleet watching.

He went home that night and told his wife his career was over.

The next day, the phone started ringing. The calls weren't from his bosses. They were from the other captains in the fleet. Bad day, they said. What do you need? A working party? Spare parts? Should I send my master chief over to help with training?

That was the day he learned what peers are really for.

"Your peers can save you, because they know you."

Enduring to the end is not merely a relentless determination to grit our teeth, hold on to the limits of our physical strength and mental capacity, and push through the challenges and adversities of mortal life; it is so much more than that.

Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity, or the pure love of Christ. As we are blessed to receive this supernal gift, a transformation occurs in our spiritual nature and character. Charity encompasses both what we do and what we can become as this spiritual gift ultimately possesses us.

As we follow, love, and serve the Savior, we gradually focus less on our own desires and interests, and more on understanding and addressing the needs of others. We do not merely perform benevolent deeds; rather, our state of being is changed and becomes increasingly Christlike. Charity, then, ultimately possesses us.

The scriptural phrase “endure to the end” is a repeated reminder of the mighty spiritual change in our hearts that should be ongoing throughout our lives; it also is His promise of what we may become if we truly are possessed of the pure love of Christ. #GeneralConference
