Yesterday in Relief Society I read this statement from lesson 7 of the Lorenzo Snow manual and have been pondering ever since about how "continued integrity" will help us through our trials. I have lots of thoughts but I'd like to hear yours ... if you are comfortable sharing, please do. Thank you very much. "… I know that your lives have not been all sunshine; you have doubtless passed through many a trial, and perhaps have come up through muchtribulation; but by continued integrityyou will soon emerge from theshadows into the glorious sunshine of the celestial world."

Larry's favorite scripture is D&C 50:24. Because it is Larry's favorite scripture, Ann Dee chose it for her boys to learn. Listen to Asher:
I've been blessed to receive a lot of light this last week, mainly because I've been able to attend the Reno, Oakland, Sacramento, and St. Paul temples. There is so much light and truth in those buildings. I love it.

Have you ever met someone with a bright personality and a light in their eye? It makes me happy and hopeful to interact with and learn from such people. There really is "hope smiling brightly before us."
