to try to understand the magnitude of this tremendous challenge you have here in the southern part of the United States. We have seen things that are unbelievable, the devastation that has occurred. We are grateful for our connection with the Red Cross and the great work they are doing. We came for just a few moments to say we love you and extend our love and blessings to you.

We have taken a giant step forward in correcting some of the misconceptions people have about the church. I think that we've made a lot of friends.

It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always.

I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.

The love for work needs to be re-enthroned in our lives. Every family should have a plan for work that touches the life of each family member so that this eternal principle will be ingrained in their lives.

There are conversations going on about the Church constantly. Those conversations will continue whether or not we choose to participate in them. But we cannot stand on the sidelines while others, including our critics, attempt to define what our Church teaches... We are living in a world saturated with all kinds of voices. Perhaps now, more than ever, we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us.
