Let others feel your faith and love. Put Jesus Christ first. Be determined to qualify to return to Him. Accept the trials and tests coming and the opposition of Satan. You can pass these test through faith in Jesus Christ. Keep Him close. He is the "door" to eternal life. Meekness is evidence of your faith and is required to be one of His people.

You will be filled with the pure love of Christ if you stay meek, have faith and hope. This gift will sustain and guide you in your struggles. It will change you.  Pray with all then energy of your heart to be filled with this love. It is given by the Father if you are a true follower of His Son. Spend time in person when you minister. You represent the Lord. Accept this invitation to repent, come unto Christ, receive His love and then offer it to others. 

Elder Olsen - The Answer is Jesus
Do what Jesus asks you to do and He will call you "friend". Find unity with others by keeping covenants because you love the Savior.  The Lord depends on you and has confidence in you.  He is no respecter of persons and is calling you as you are, telling you that you belong to Him.  Pray for a pure heart. The answer to every question and problem is "Jesus". Know Him better, remember Him more often, serve Him more valiantly individually and with others.  Teach the doctrine of Christ: faith, repentance, baptism, receive the Holy Ghost, endure to the end. It's all going to be OK because this is His work.  Let Jesus help you. Pray to know how to minister but begin with acknowledging and asking questions. You are good enough to do and become what He needs. Know the difference between the voice of the Adversary and Christ.  It is urgent that we preach the gospel to everyone. Make serving others about Christ. This is His church. Pray to have Jesus "finish your faith"

Elder Schmitt - That They Might Know Thee
Be a Good Shepherd: bring others to Christ. Minister in person. Go into the "wilderness" to bring them back. Know Christ will see to it that good things will come before, during and after the trials. Look forward to Zion and the Millennium - it's coming! Know the scriptures and have faith in what God can and will do. Be faithful and consistent in daily gospel living. The Spirit of the Lord will be poured upon us and those who repent. Go to the temple. Make your home and life holy. Be faithful and True. Trust Jesus, not man.

Elder Stevenson - Nourishing and Bearing Your Testimony
Know what the defining moments of your testimony are. More are coming and when you least expect it. Do not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Have courage to act on prompting to share your testimony. The Spirit will come. Bear testimony of Joseph Smith if you don't know what to say.  Acquire a witness of the Holy Ghost if you don't have one. Be able to bear testimony that: God is your Father and loves you, that you are His child; that Jesus is His Son and lives and is your Savior and Redeemer; that Joseph Smith is a prophet and restored Christ's church on the earth and that church is led by a prophet today. Stand as a witness at all times, in all things, and in all places. Make it one of your highest priorities to nourish your testimony. Feast on God's word. pray. Obey the commandments.  Take the sacrament weekly. Learn to hear Him better. Spend more time in the temple and family history work.  

Elder Morrison - We Can Do Hard Things through Him

Pay attention to the promptings of others, even if you didn't receive one. Learn from your losses. Minster to others by sharing what you have learned. Focus on Christ in your pain. You can endure all things through Christ. You can feel joy and peace no matter your circumstances by focusing on the Atonement of Christ. The scriptures will help you endure well the pain, sickness and trails coming. You will be taken out of your comfort zone but it will prepare you for Zion. Cheerfully respond with faith in the Lord. It will make you a greater disciple and bless you with compensatory blessings in ways you won't expect. 

Elder Cook - Be True to God and His Work
Read about early church history, leaders, and teachings and share it with the younger generation. The Church will again oversee the evacuation of the Saints to places of refuge and then Zion. The coming adversity will allow you to show you are true to God and His Work.  Have a knowledge of the truth of this Work for yourself and cleave to it or you will fall.  Live right and call upon the Lord until you attain it. You will have to be guided by the light within yourself.  The precepts of men are turning people away from God. Trust that God will support you in your trials.  Bridle your anger and lust. Refuse to participate in family violence, contention, and verbal abuse. Lead a pure moral life. Teach the seriousness of sin and how to repent.  Seek to prevent then repent if necessary.  Daily repent - there are "layers" to your sins. Keep working on it. This will bring purity and that will bring power.  Ponder the doctrine of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  Don't let past, repented sins trouble you, only the thought of future sin.  Healing is available to all. 

Pres. Nelson - Focus on the Temple
The heavens are open if you will take the time to hear, through the Spirit, what has been said in these 5 sessions.  Record your impressions and follow them. Seek the help of the Father and the Son. They will respond. Jesus is coming.  There will be much darkness and destruction first, but return to Him, repent, be converted and fully Come to Christ.  Know that the scriptures will ALL be fulfilled. There will be great miracles and it will be worth every trial to be with Christ when He returns.  Christ can manifest Himself to you in His Holy House. The temple is filled with power.  Focus on the temple in ways you never have before. Be spiritually refined by spending more time there. It will bless your life in ways nothing else can.  Grow closer to Christ every day.  Do not lose sight of what the Lord is doing for you right now!
