"The gospel is so very simple when we understand it properly. It is always right, it is always good, it is always uplifting. Obedience to gospel principles brings forth joy and happiness. Disobedience has a day of reckoning and will only bring forth heartache, misery, strife, and unhappiness."
Elder L. Tom Perry
As a child I always loved Elder Perry because he was such a big man, but he wasn't intimidating. I imagined him as a sort of "gentle giant." I know that I've felt that way because he has spent his life trying to become more like our Savior and that light has shown whenever I've seen him.
Elder Perry always does a wonderful job of helping others see the simplicity of the gospel. Some of my favorite General Conference talks by him are found below. I have also included a link to a video of Elder Perry bearing a portion of his testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ.
