+ | * The work will go further, independently of all power. (Pres. Monson) | ||

+ | * I can't coast off the accomplishments of the past. | ||
+ | * Consider your membership in the family as a calling. | ||
+ | * The Book of Mormon (and the scriptures) document miracles that we can all reference | ||
+ | * "We cannot start out in a wrong direction without first overruling a warning." |
