Concluding Thoughts

“What gives…power to go through hard things? What gives


an extra layer of strength to go on when everything seems
lost?
“I have found that the source of that strength is faith in Jesus
Christ as we intentionally seek to come unto Him each and
every day.”
Elder Joaquin E. Costa
Concluding Thoughts

“In coming days, we will see the greatest


manifestations of the Savior’s power that the
world has ever seen….He will bestow
countless privileges, blessings, and miracles
upon the faithful.”

President Russell M. Nelson
