Long ol dei we oli stap kam, bambae i no posibol blong laef long saed blong spirit, sapos yumi no gat Tabu Spirit i lidim, daerektem, kamfotem yumi oltaem wetem paoa blong Hem.
!I wan gudfala janis blong selebretem Ista wetem yufala long Sandei ia blong jeneral konfrens! I no gat wan samting we i moa fit bitim blong tingbaot impoten taem ia we i bin eva hapen long wol ia taem yumi stap wosipim Hem we i moa hae we i bin wokbaot long wol ia.

From misin blong Hem we Hem i kamdaon evriwan mo pis we Hem i givim long olgeta we oli stap folem Hem, we i mekem se waef blong mi, Wendy mo mi, i filim kamfot long 2 Jenuware 2018, taem we wan telefon kol i bin wekemap mitufala mo talem se Presiden Thomas S. Monson i bin go, i pasem vel.

Long Sandei 14 Jenuware 2018, long rum antap insaed long Sol Lek Tempol, oli oganaesem bakegen Fas Presidensi folem tabu paten we Lod i bin stanemap. Afta, long tabu asembli blong yestedei, ol memba blong Jos raon long wol oli bin leftemap han blong olgeta blong konfemem aksen we Ol Aposol oli bin tekem fastaem long olgeta. Tingting blong mi i stap daon mo glad from sastening sapot blong yufala.

Mi gat kaon tu long olgeta fastaem long mi. Evri eit bigfala bubu blong mi oli bin konvet long Jos long Yurop. Wanwan strongfala sol ia, oli bin sakrifaesem evri samting blong kam long Saeon. Long ol jeneresen we oli folfolem afta, i no evriwan blong ol bubu blong mi we oli bin stap strong. From hemia, mi mi no groap long wan hom we gospel i stap insaed long hem.
Mi laekem tumas papa mo mama blong mi. Oli minim evri samting long mi, mo oli bin tijim mi ol impoten lesen. Mi no save talem tangkyu inaf from hapi hom laef we oli bin givim long mi mo ol brata mo sista. Be yet, olsem wan boe, mi bin save se wan samting i lus. Wan dei, mi jam long wan trak, mo go long wan LDS bukstoa blong faenem wan buk abaot Jos. Mi lavem blong lanem samting abaot gospel.
Taem mi kam blong andastanem Tok blong Waes, mi wantem papa mo mama blong mi blong laef folem loa ia. Mekem se, wan dei, taem mi yangfala tumas, !mi go long rum we i stap andanit graon long haos mo mi saksakem brekem evri botel blong strong dring long simen floa!

Taem mi kam bigwan mo stat blong andastanem se plan blong Papa long Heven i bigwan, plante taem, mi talem miwan: “!Mi nomo wantem wan moa Krismes presen! Mi wantem sil nomo wetem papa mo mama blong mi.” Taem ia we mi wet longtaem from i no bin hapen kasem taem we papa mo mama i gat ova 80 ia, mo afta, i bin hapen. Mi no save talemaot fulwan glad ia we mi bin filim long dei ia, mo evri dei, mi filim glad ia we tufala i bin sil, mo mi, mi bin sil long tufala.

Wanwan long ol blesing ia oli kam from we mi stap lukaotem mo stap folem ol slo toktok blong Tabu Spirit.Presiden Lorenzo Snow i talem: “Hemia i bigfala spesel janis blong evri Lata-dei Sent; se hem i raet blong yumi, blong gat Spirit i soem samting long yumi evri dei blong laef blong yumi.”
Wan long ol samting we Spirit i wokem ripitim long maen blong mi, i we, stat long niufala koling blong mi, olsem Presiden blong Jos, i wei we Lod bae i talemaot maen mo tingting blong Hem long mi. Spesel janis blong kasem revelesen, i wan long ol presen blong God long ol pikinini blong Hem we i moa bigwan bitim ol narawan.
Tru long wanem we Tabu Spirit i soemaot, Lod bambae i helpem yumi long evri stret mo gud rod blong yumi. Mi tingbaot we long wan operesen rum, mi stanap ova long bodi blong wan sikman—we mi no sua tumas hao blong mekem wan operesen we oli neva mekem bifo—mo Tabu Spirit i soem evri step blong teknik ia insaed long maen blong mi.

Olsem wan memba blong Kworom blong Olgeta Twelef Aposol, mi bin prea evri dei blong kasem revelesen mo talem tangkyu long Lod evri taem we Hem i bin toktok long hat mo maen blong mi.
!Pikjarem merikel ia!

Sapos yumi rili kasem Tabu Spirit mo lanem blong luksave mo andastanem ol toktok blong Hem, bambae Hem i lidim yumi long ol bigfala samting mo ol smolwan tu.

Afta we mifala i kam blong agri fulwan, !paoa blong Tabu Spirit we i joenem mifala i gud tumas! Yumi eksperiensem wanem we Profet Josef Smit i bin save taem hem i bin tijim: “Taem yumi joenem ol filing, yumi kasem paoa blong God.” !I no gat wan memba blong Fas Presidensi o Kworom blong Olgeta Twelef Aposol we bae i lego ol desisen blong Jos blong Lod i stap folem bes jajmen blong hem nomo!
Ol brata mo sista. ?Olsem wanem nao yumi save kam ol man mo ol woman—ol wokman olsem Kraes—we Lod i nidim yumi blong kam olsem? ?Olsem wanem nao yumi save faenemaot ol ansa long ol kwestin we i stap trabolem yumi? Sapos eksperiens blong Josef Smit long Tabu Bus i stap tijim yumi eni samting, hem i we, ol heven oli open mo we God i stap toktok long ol pikinini blong Hem.
Profet Josef Smit i putum wan paten i stap blong yumi folem blong stretem ol kwestin blong yumi. Folem promes blong Jemes se sapos yumi no gat waes, yumi save askem long God, nao Josef i tekem kwestin blong hem i go stret long Papa long Heven. Hem i askem revelesen blong hemwan, mo from hem i lukaotem, nao hemia i openem las dispensesen ia.
Long semmak fasin, ?wanem we yu stap lukaotem ia, bae i openem wanem long yu? ?Wanem waes nao yu no gat? ?Wanem nao yu filim se yu mas save o andastanem kwik naoia? Folem eksampol blong Profet Josef. Faenem wan kwaet ples we yu save go long hem oltaem. Putum tingting blong yu i stap daon long fes blong God. Talemaot hat blong yu long Papa blong yu long Heven. Tanem yu long Hem blong yu kasem ansa mo kamfot.
Prea long nem blong Jisas Kraes abaot ol wari blong yu, ol fraet blong yu, ol wiknes blong yu—yes ol samting we i hevi long hat blong yu. !Mo afta, yu lisin! Raetemdaon ol tingting we oli kam long maen blong yu. Raetemdaon ol filing blong yu, mo folem wetem ol aksen we Spirit i talem yu blong mekem. Taem yu stap ripitim wei ia dei afta dei, manis afta manis, yia afta yia, bambae yu “gro blong folem prinsipol ia blong revelesen.”

Tru long revelesen we i kam long yuwan, yu save kasem witnes blong yuwan se Buk blong Momon i toktok blong God, se Josef Smit i wan profet, mo hemia i Jos blong Lod. Nomata wanem ol narawan oli talem o mekem, i no gat wan i save tekemaot wan witnes we Spirit i talem long hat mo maen blong yu abaot wanem i tru.
Mi askem yufala blong yufala i mekem paoa blong yufala i go longfala moa long saed blong spirit blong kasem revelesen blong yufalawan, from se Lod i promesem se “Sapos yufala i askem, bambae yufala i kasem wan revelesen folem nara revelesen, wan save folem nara save, blong yufala i save ol sikret mo ol trutok blong kingdom we bae oli givim pis—we oli tekem glad i kam, we oli tekem laef we i no save finis i kam.”
!O! I gat plante moa samting we Papa blong yu we i stap long Heven i wantem yu blong save. Olsem we Elda Neal A. Maxwell i tijim: “Long olgeta we oli gat ae blong luk mo ol sora blong harem, !hem i klia se Papa mo Pikinini, Tufala i stap givimaot ol sikret blong yunives!”
I no gat wan samting i openem ol heven olsem taem yumi kombaenem fasin blong stap klin gud, obei fulwan, kakae long ol toktok blong Kraes insaed long Buk blong Momon evri dei, mo gobak oltaem long tempol mo mekem famli histri wok.

Be mi promesem yu se taem yu gohed blong stap obei, taem tangkyu from evri blesing we Lod i stap givim yu, mo taem yu gat longfala tingting blong folem taemtebol blong Lod, bambae yu kasem save mo andastaning ia we yu stap lukaotem. Evri blesing we Lod i gat blong yu—iven ol merikel—bae oli kam. Hemia nao wanem we revelesen blong yuwan bae i mekem blong yu.
