Come from your wandering way, weary travelers. Come to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Come to that heavenly haven called home. Here you will discover the truth. Here you will learn the reality of the Godhead, the comfort of the plan of salvation, the sanctity of the marriage covenant, the power of personal prayer. Come home.

In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and a comfortable life and they lost all-comfort and security and freedom.

Cooperativeness is not so much learning how to get along with others as taking the kinks out of ourselves, so that others can get along with us.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
May we give as the Savior gave. To give of oneself is a holy gift. We give as a remembrance of all the Savior has given.
