This message about Jesus Christ is from a spiritual leader I respect.

[Russell M. Nelson @NelsonRussellM]

Because of the Savior’s sacrifice, we have access to His healing power. He will heal our hearts, give us strength when we are weak, enable us to do things we could never do on our own, and heal us from sin when we repent.

Agree with Alison @AlisonRodrigz that Jost @Jeromobot did a great job at #APTIF9. He also explained how translators can respond to NMT in a positive way.
