I was invited to share my thoughts about life and faith with readers of the Arizona Republic. I wrote that if there is anything I’ve learned in my 94 years of living, it is that a life with God is far better—more filled with hope—than one without Him.
"Things are going to move forward at an accelerated pace,” said President @NelsonRussellM. “The Church is going to have an unprecedented future, unparalleled. We’re just building up to what’s ahead now.” Photo credit: Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
The Lord stands at the head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As modern-day Apostles of Jesus Christ, the message we share today is the same that Apostles shared long ago—that God lives and Jesus is the Christ.
As you ponder this change, remember that your ability to have more impact on the world than any previous generation is completely dependent upon the level of your devotion to Jesus Christ. I invite you to read my invitation to you in the article below.

I invite you to always speak of the incomparable gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Let us all be defenders of the faith. The Savior has promised, “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
Since my needs have changed over my lifetime, God has communicated to me different things at different times. But I learned that I must go to the scriptures in order to find that counsel.
Don’t ever stop seeking. Jesus promised that if we seek, we shall find. If we knock, it will be opened. If we listen, we will hear.
Hold onto that promise. Even if it takes your entire life to find the precious light and truth you seek, it will be well worth the effort.
Effective immediately, the @LDSchurch's 65,000 missionaries are authorized to communicate with their families each week on preparation day by text messages, online messaging, phone calls and video chats in addition to letters and emails.

Last night I was pleased with the opportunity to speak with thousands of followers of Jesus Christ about the remarkable promises God makes to us in the Book of Mormon. Its central message is that Jesus Christ is our Savior. This book is a gift from God to the entire world!
In about 19 months, the Church will be implementing a new, global initiative for children and youth designed to help them discover their eternal identity, develop character and life skills and “fulfill their divine roles as daughters and sons of God.” https://t.co/veTUSubZoL #LDS
Spending the last couple of weeks visiting with God’s children across the globe has been such a meaningful experience for me. We are brothers and sisters in every sense of the word. We are created in God’s image. Male and female—He created us all.
