Elder Richard G. Scott

"A pebble held close to the eye appears to be a gigantic obstacle. Cast on the ground, it is seen in perspective. Likewise, problems or trials in our lives need to be viewed in the perspective of scriptural doctrine. Otherwise they can easily overtake our vision, absorb our energy, and deprive us of the joy and beauty the Lord intends us to receive here on earth." Finding Joy in Life: May 1996

“Please learn that as you wrestle with a challenge and feel sadness because of it, you can simultaneously have peace and rejoicing”  Trust in the Lord: October 1995.

The quotes above (and many others like them) have helped me really trust in the Lord more and to find "joy in the journey." I am so excited to hear what he has to share with all of us in a few weeks for General Conference.

I really enjoy listening to Elder Scott because of how much I can feel the love he has for all of us and especially the love he has for the Savior. There is powerful conviction in his voice as he declares what he knows to be true. An example of this is below is his April 2010 General Conference address, He Lives! All Glory to His Name!
