OUR VERY SURVIVAL

When I had my first child I was scared to death cause I hadn't a clue on how to raise him. I began listening very carefully to what was said in General Conference and glean advice on raising children. Elder Kevin R. Duncan gave a talk on having the wisdom to trust in and follow the counsel of the living prophets and apostles. We can't do that unless we know what they are saying.

Times are a changing and the Lord has provided so many resources to help us come through them clean and worthy to return and live with Him as eternal families. Elder Duncan said, "Trusting in and following the prophets is more than a blessing and a privilege. President Ezra Taft Benson declared that 'our very salvation hangs on following the prophet."

What I know after all these years is we really are blessed to have true and living prophets guiding us today and their messages are so important for us to study and read and implement in our lives.
