A spiritual experience I had was during studies
learning about the youth of the church. There are millions of talks and
discourses about the "Hope of Israel" is in the hands of the youth.
All of the kids from 12 to 18 years old should and need to realize how to
listen, hear, and follow the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. He is the way our
Heavenly Father talks with us and helps us guide our lives according to His
will.
And now, I would like to say a little on how you can do this, it is NOT
easy. It is a work of a lifetime, but you NEED to know how to establish habits
to be in tune with the Spirit. I will tell you how to do it, and all of you
will say, "Elder Lee, that's just a primary answer." Then I ask,
"Why aren't you doing it?" You all know the answers.
I will give you
one more answer that all of the women in the church are striving to do and I see them being examples to the faithful, as they should and are taught. Now
young men, you have the same resources that they have. They have Personal
Progress that helps them with many spiritual habits and studies. How are your
studies young men? Are you just going through the motions and reading your 1
verse per day? You have something equivalent to the Young Women's Personal
Progress, which is called Duty to God. Do you know your Duty to God? Do you
know that the presidents of the quorums have keys to the priesthood? Do you
know you can be ministered by the angels of God.? If not, read the last talk
from President Monson.
I am looking at the world in a different perspective
here on a mission and as a missionary. There is nothing better to prepare to
serve a mission or enter the Temple of God than the Young Women's Personal Progress
and the Young Men's Duty to God. I love you all. These things were inspired by
prophets, let's use them to our advantage. Read the Hymn "Hope of Israel." Who
does it talk about? "Oh be wise, What can I say more?"
Com muito Amor,
Elder Lee
