MTC Devotional

Tonight for our devotional we listened to Elder Rasband who spoke to the Provo MTC in person, just the night before. I felt inspired by his teachings to us. He was quoting our Prophet, Russell M. Nelson from April General Conference. He invited the missionaries to review President Nelson's most recent messages, particularly those that included invitations.

Elder Rasband talked of the signs of the last days. That there will be calamities in the world. Mens hearts will fail them. There will be many difficult things to happen in the days to come. Then he shared this statement from the Prophet...

"Our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will perform some of His mightiest works between now and when He comes again."

These are our days! I love living in these days. I will share the entire quote...

"I am optimistic about the future. It will be filled with opportunities for each of us to progress, contribute, and take the gospel to every corner of the earth. But I am also not naive about the days ahead. We live in a world that is complex and increasingly contentious...Our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will perform some of His mightiest works between now and when He comes again. We will see miraculous indications that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, preside over this Church in majesty and glory. But in the coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost." - President Nelson "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives"

I am so grateful for a living Prophet.
