00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,290 How blessed we are to assemble again

in this worldwide conference under the direction

and leadership of our dear prophet and President,

President, we love you, and we sustain you with all our heart.

I relied greatly on the precision and reliability

I had assistants and secretaries who kindly helped me

My calling consisted of many wonderful opportunities

to minister, but it also included a great deal of Church

office work--more than I ever thought possible.

To my shock, the main tool to stay on top of my work

to delve into this strange, mystifying, incomprehensible

Able tech people tried to teach me how to use the computer.

over my shoulder, their fingers moving quickly

and tapping a percussive symphony against the keyboard.

My learning curve was more like a brick wall.

It took a great deal of time, repetition, patience,

and many liters of a diet soda that shall remain nameless.

00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:12,060 Now, 22 years later, I am surrounded

I have an email address, a Twitter account,

I own a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, and a digital camera.

measure up to those of a typical seven-year-old,

But I have noticed something interesting.

00:02:52,370 --> 00:02:54,440 For a large part of human history,

communication happened at the speed of a horse.

Today our messages travel thousands of miles

into the sky or thousands of meters beneath the oceans

to reach someone on the other side of the world,

and if there is a delay of even a few seconds,

It seems to be human nature: as we become more familiar

with something, even something miraculous and awe-inspiring,

we lose our sense of awe and treat it as commonplace.

Taking for granted our modern technologies and conveniences

But sadly, we sometimes take a similar attitude

toward the eternal and soul-expanding doctrine

In the Church of Jesus Christ, we have been given so much.

We are surrounded by such an astonishing wealth

of light and truth that I wonder if we truly

Think of the early Saints of this dispensation who

had parted again, shedding light and knowledge upon the world

Think of how you felt when for the first time

you believed and understood that you are truly a child of God;

that Jesus Christ willingly suffered for your sins

so that you may be clean again; that priesthood power is

real and can bind you to your loved ones for time

and for all eternity; that there is a living

Considering all of this, how could it ever

would not be excited about attending our Church worship

Or get tired of reading the holy scriptures?
