What We Really Think of Youth

“What do you think of when you hear the word arise? Personally, I think of you—the noble youth of the Church. I picture you diligently arising from your beds each morning for early-morning seminary. I see you faithfully arising from your knees after finishing your daily prayers. I think of you courageously arising to share your testimony and defend your standards. I am inspired by your commitment to the gospel and your good examples.”

Ann M. Dibb, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency, “Arise and Shine Forth,” Ensign, May 2012, 117.

This Month in History

September 22, 1827 The Prophet Joseph Smith received the gold plates from the angel Moroni at the Hill Cumorah.

Quote from Conference

“Nothing about the priesthood is self-centered. The priesthood always is used to serve, to bless, and to strengthen other people.”

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “The Powers of Heaven,” Ensign, May 2012, 48.

Alma 32:21Scripture Sudoku:

The objective of a regular Sudoku is to fill the 9×9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 boxes (also called blocks or regions) contains the digits from 1 to 9 only one time. For this puzzle, instead of using numbers, use the scripture reference and the eight words in bold to complete the puzzle.

Alma 32:21

And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.
