I love these quotes from the last General Conference. They are worth pondering and remembering. Elder Rafael E. Pino said:
"...When adversity arrives in our lives, the only true source of comfort is God."
Then he quoted Pres. Hunter:
"If our lives and our faith are centered on Jesus Christ and his restored gospel, nothing can ever go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and His teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right."
Elder Richard G. Scott said:
"What I am trying to teach is that when we keep the temple covenants we have made and when we live righteously in order to maintain the blessings promised by those ordinances, then come what may, we have no reason to worry or to feel despondent."
Elder Boyd K. Packer said:
"It may seem that the world is in commotion; and it is! It may seem that there are wars and rumors of wars; and there are! It may seem that the future will hold trials and difficulties for you; and it will! However, fear is the opposite of faith. Do not be afraid! I do not fear."
"The certainties of the gospel, the truth, once you understand it, will see you through these difficult times."
How fortunate we are to have the Truth in our lives!

Putting the quotes together like that is powerful! I need to read them every day.
Like Jessi said, those are some powerful words! We can hold tight to them in times of distress and worry. Thank you for picking those out for us to see.
THose are great, the one we have on our board from Pres. Monson is " YOUR FUTURE IS AS BRIGHT AS YOUR FAITH" so simple yet so deep.
I Promise, we are coming to Eugene. What's going on with you in the next 6 months?
