Remember, young men, that purity precedes power. The Lord said, 'But purify your hearts before me and then go ye into all the world, and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it' (D&C 112:28). Missionaries discover this very early in their missions and make every effort to be worthy so they can serve with power.

M. Russell Ballard
I surely know that there is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood.
M. Russell Ballard
The joy in motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times, but amid the challenges there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction.
