The Truth of God Shall Go Forth

Sister Kerrie Graff gave a beautiful lesson from M. Russell Ballard's talk in the Ensign.

In short, the talk is about how the gospel will spread to every nation. Right now there are places that will not accept the preaching of the gospel. These nations must be prepared. South America had to be prepared before missionaries preached there. Now Brazil alone has over 1,000,000 members! That goes to show that no matter what happens, God's work cannot be frustrated. Only the work of man can be frustrated.

That keeps my hope alive.

I also appreciate what was said about how our challenges of today are not more severe as those of the pioneers, they are not less severe...they are just different. We are not asked to cross the plains and build a new Zion. However, we are asked to cross the street and serve our neighbor.

We are not asked to die a martyr's death, but we are asked to live a disciple's life. I believe that we can cross the street, and we can lead a righteous life. I am so glad that we have each other as sisters to lean on for support.
