This is the greatest season in the history of the restored church. And we get to live now. We to to be here.

Every generation has its tests. I don't think it was easy for young people your age to pull handcarts, I don't think it was easy for young people your age to live through World War II. I don't think it was easy in our youth to face certain things. So everybody in a generation faces changes, challenges of various kinds.   I had an experience with President Hinckley a number of years ago where he and I were seated and together and he said, "David this is the greatest season in the history of the restored Church.  Never has the Church been as well known and as well regarded. Never have we had the resources to help move the word forward in all the earth as we do today. Oh, David, this is the greatest season in the history of the restored Church.  It was not better in the days of Joseph Smith. It was not better in the days of Brigham Young.  This is the greatest season in the history of the restored church. And we get to live now. We get to to be here."  People throughout all previous dispensations have looked forward to this day and the things that would occur.  So there are great challenges and opportunities equal to or greater than those challenges for those who are true and faithful to the covenants that we enter into as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ
