"This Is the Church of Happy Endings": Elder Holland Gives Powerful Message to Graduates

"In the days and years ahead, you may suffer some discouragement and disappointment. On occasion, you may feel genuine despair, either for yourself or your children or the plight and conditions of others. You may even make a personal mistake or two—serious mistakes, perhaps, though I hope not—and you may worry that any chance to be happy and secure in life has eluded you forever. When such times come, I ask you to remember this: This is the church of the happy endings," Elder Holland said.

Mormon 1–6: Fair Ones

Take a moment and place your hand over your heart. How is your heart today? If it could talk, what would it say?

While I had always known that equal rights were important, I became more sensitive to the importance of these issues in a way I never had before. I felt that gaining this wisdom was invaluable—that it would make me a stronger, more sensitive voice, both in my career and in my service in the Church.
