WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.020 Paisley: Hey everybody, welcome back Paisley imperfect here and 00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:10.920 today, we are going to discuss a talk given by President Nelson 00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:16.380 called embrace the future with faith. It was given while we 00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:21.200 were all on lockdown a few years ago. And but I'm going to start 00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:28.340 first with two truths about me. First, many of the foretold 00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:31.820 events of the Second Coming or leading up to the second coming, 00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:37.400 scare me. Unpredictable natural disasters freak me out just a 00:00:37.400 --> 00:00:42.580 little bit. That's number one. And number two, I don't know 00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:48.220 what all the signs and wonders are or are going to be leading 00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:52.720 up to the Second Coming. Yep, I know how to find them, at least, 00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:57.880 I think I know how to find them, or where to start. And yes, we 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.660 have been told to learn about them and watch for them. I think 00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:07.320 I know what some of them are, but I don't. It's not like I 00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:12.360 have a comprehensive list that I'm ready to share or anything 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:19.020 like that on honestly, I find it a bit overwhelming trying to 00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:22.520 figure out what all those things are, it's a little overwhelming 00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:28.520 and kind of difficult to wrap my head around. So I have taken up 00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.120 to this point, this may change in the future, but up until now, 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:37.160 I have taken a little bit of a different approach when it comes 00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:40.660 to the second coming and I will let me just share a quick story 00:01:40.660 --> 00:01:47.020 that kind of provides a little bit of context on how I view the 00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:53.800 upcoming second coming. So when I was 12 and I was getting ready 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.980 to give my first talk in sacrament meeting, it was that 00:01:56.980 --> 00:02:00.600 Sunday morning, and I don't remember the exact conversation 00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:05.220 leading up to this, but it likely went something like, can 00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:11.580 I please stay home from church? Do I really have to go today? I 00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:15.180 don't know that for sure, but somehow I found myself talking 00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.360 to my dad. My dad and I were having this conversation, and I 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.760 had told him that I was scared and nervous about giving this 00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:27.680 talk in sacrament meeting, and so he he thought about it for a 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.680 second, and then he said, let me ask you a question. Are you 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.920 prepared? And I, I told him I thought I was. I think I'm 00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:40.900 prepared. I think I'm ready. Not ready, but I think I'm prepared. 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.440 Um, he asked if I written my talk down and I had I showed it 00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:48.820 to him. He asked me if I knew what I was talking about. Told 00:02:48.820 --> 00:02:52.900 him that I thought I did. And then he said, Then you have 00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:55.960 nothing to be nervous or scared about. Here. I'll prove it to 00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.660 you. And he pulled out his Scriptures, And He read. He read 00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:06.780 parts of Doctrine and Covenants, Section 38 verse 30 to me, like 00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:09.180 the very beginning and the very end. It went something like 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.960 this, I tell you these things because of your prayers, if you 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.040 are prepared, you shall not fear. And then he said something 00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:21.200 like, See, I told you I didn't make it up. You're prepared, 00:03:21.380 --> 00:03:26.360 there's nothing for you to be nervous or afraid of. Excuse me. 00:03:27.380 --> 00:03:31.160 I don't remember what my talk was about that day, but I 00:03:31.160 --> 00:03:35.840 remember that I was a lot less nervous after that conversation 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:41.800 with my dad, and that conversation has helped me, and 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.600 I can't even tell you how many different aspects of my life, 00:03:46.660 --> 00:03:49.300 from giving professional presentations in front of the 00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:55.720 entire company, to giving a talk in sacrament meeting, speaking 00:03:55.720 --> 00:04:00.960 at my daughter's baptism last weekend, That conversation has 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.200 helped me so much, because when I am prepared, there's nothing 00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:10.380 for me to be afraid of. So in this talk that we're talking 00:04:10.380 --> 00:04:14.460 about today, from President Nelson, he uses that same verse 00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:19.200 in relation to the Second Coming. He says, How are we to 00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:22.400 deal with both the somber prophecies and the glorious 00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:25.940 pronouncements about our day. The Lord told us how, with this 00:04:25.940 --> 00:04:29.840 simple but stunning reassurance, if you are prepared, you shall 00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.800 not fear. Okay, now that logical, pragmatic part of my 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.700 brain is kicking in again, and I go my next question, just 00:04:42.820 --> 00:04:47.380 naturally out of my brain is, how do I prepare if I don't know 00:04:47.380 --> 00:04:54.640 what I'm preparing for, what do I prepare for? Because all these 00:04:54.640 --> 00:04:58.000 prophecies seem kind of overwhelming, where do I start? 00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:02.040 How do I how do I. Prepare for all of these things. How do I 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.940 find all of these things? Does anybody have all every single 00:05:05.940 --> 00:05:10.200 one of these things? I don't know. But in this talk, 00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:13.500 President Nelson uses Captain moron eyes example, Captain 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:15.960 Moroni, not the Moroni that we're learning about right now. 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:19.680 And come follow me, not the end of the Book of Mormon. Moroni. 00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:24.740 Captain Moroni more towards the middle. He uses Captain moron 00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:31.400 eyes example and how he prepared his people to tell us how we can 00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:35.300 prepare for the second coming. He breaks it down into three 00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:39.680 bite sized chunks. Number one, create places of security. 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.680 Number two, prepare your mind to be faithful to God. And number 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:50.260 three, never stop preparing. So let's talk about the first one. 00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:54.040 First, it's very good place to start, right. Start at the very 00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.800 beginning. I think that's from the sound of music. Start at the 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.300 very beginning. It's a very good place to start. So let's start 00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.420 with creating places of security. The first place that 00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:09.360 he mentions is our home. He said, When your home becomes a 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.080 personal sanctuary of faith, personal sanctuary of faith, 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.460 where the Spirit resides, your home becomes the first line of 00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:21.800 defense. First line of defense, it becomes your own personal 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:30.080 sanctuary where you can go to recharge, build yourself up, and 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:36.020 that becomes your first line of defense. So we've talked, and 00:06:36.020 --> 00:06:38.540 we've talked a lot in other episodes about strengthening 00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:42.220 home and family as we study our scriptures together, with or 00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:45.940 without, come follow me resources, as we pray together, 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.900 as we spend good quality time together, and as we listen to 00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:54.940 each other, we grow closer and stronger. If you live by 00:06:54.940 --> 00:06:58.420 yourself, your home still becomes your first line of 00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:01.500 defense. It doesn't matter how many people are in your home, 00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:06.120 you can be the only one and still have it be a personal 00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:13.380 sanctuary of faith. But these bonds that we build, not but and 00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:17.520 these bonds that we build within our home, even if that bond is 00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:20.360 with ourself or with our Heavenly Father, with our 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.820 Savior. These bonds that we build, they strengthen the 00:07:22.820 --> 00:07:27.380 security of our homes and truly make them sanctuaries and places 00:07:27.380 --> 00:07:33.260 of refuge for us, places we can escape to when the world becomes 00:07:33.260 --> 00:07:37.520 just a little too much, which is happening more and more often. 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.480 The second place is our stake. He said, the stakes of Zion are 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.720 a refuge from the storm because they are led by those who hold 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.380 priesthood keys and exercise priesthood authority. As you 00:07:50.380 --> 00:07:52.900 continue to follow the counsel of those whom the Lord has 00:07:52.900 --> 00:07:58.180 authorized to guide you, you will feel greater safety. We can 00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:04.920 take those things home and make our homes even stronger. And 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:10.020 some of you, some of us, some of you, may be some of those people 00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:14.280 who have been chosen to guide others, those people who are 00:08:14.460 --> 00:08:21.500 strengthening the stake. So I would only add, if I can do that 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.220 to President Nelson, that as you follow the promptings of the 00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:30.440 Holy Ghost, you'll be directed and led to help the rest of us 00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:37.520 strengthen our families and really be able to feel safety 00:08:37.520 --> 00:08:43.300 and security within our stake. The third place. None of these 00:08:43.300 --> 00:08:46.540 are a surprise, right? The third place is the temple. The temple 00:08:46.540 --> 00:08:50.380 provides a place of security and serenity from the worldly issues 00:08:50.380 --> 00:08:54.880 of our day. We can go there. We can to feel uplifted, refreshed, 00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:59.440 safe, cared for. I don't know about you, but when I go to the 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:04.980 temple, I truly feel like I'm home, like I can I can relax my 00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:09.360 mind. I can relax my body. I think that's why I have such a 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.320 hard time staying awake during a temple session. It's because I 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:20.180 finally feel like I am completely and totally safe and 00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:24.560 I can let it go. I can let all of it go and just feel at home 00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:29.840 in the temple. Also, our families are sealed there. 00:09:30.260 --> 00:09:34.640 That's pretty safe. That doesn't mean that everybody's going to 00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:38.960 make the right choices and that we're that we are guaranteed to 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:43.300 be together forever, but it gives us the opportunity it it 00:09:44.260 --> 00:09:48.160 really strengthens that bond within our families. 00:09:50.020 --> 00:09:54.400 Okay? Lastly, President Nelson makes this point, we're still in 00:09:55.060 --> 00:09:57.820 in that first section, right, creating places of security. 00:09:58.420 --> 00:10:02.760 Lastly, he makes this point. He's. Says, simply said, a place 00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:06.660 of security is anywhere you can feel the presence of the Holy 00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:10.680 Ghost and be guided by Him. When the Holy Ghost is with you, you 00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:13.920 can teach truth even when it runs counter to prevailing 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:17.400 opinions, and you can ponder sincere questions about the 00:10:17.400 --> 00:10:24.980 gospel in an environment of Revelation. So you you are a 00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:29.660 place of security. If you can feel the Holy Ghost, wherever 00:10:29.660 --> 00:10:36.020 you are, you become that place of security. All you have to do 00:10:36.020 --> 00:10:42.160 is be worthy of and listening to and for the Holy Ghost. That's 00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:47.140 it. Okay, the so the second thing that was the first thing, 00:10:47.140 --> 00:10:49.600 right? Create places of security. The second thing is to 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:54.700 prepare our minds specifically to be faithful to God. What does 00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:59.020 it mean to prepare our minds to be to be faithful to God? 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.940 Prepare your mind to be faithful. Oh my gosh. I keep 00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:07.320 wanting to say, thank thankful. Prepare your mind to be faithful 00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:12.840 to God. This is what he so. President Nelson simplified that 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.800 that as well, and he said, we strengthen our faith in Jesus 00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:20.040 Christ as we strive to keep his commandments and always remember 00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:24.560 him further our faith increases every time we exercise our faith 00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:29.780 in Him. That is what learning by faith means. Then he says this, 00:11:30.140 --> 00:11:36.020 exercising our faith increases our faith. So in order for us to 00:11:36.020 --> 00:11:41.380 prepare our minds to be faithful to God, we need to exercise our 00:11:41.380 --> 00:11:46.780 faith. Then he says this, few things build faith more than 00:11:46.780 --> 00:11:51.160 does regular immersion in the Book of Mormon, reading our 00:11:51.160 --> 00:11:56.680 scriptures, specifically the Book of Mormon. Few things build 00:11:56.680 --> 00:12:00.540 stronger faith than complete immersion into the Book of 00:12:00.540 --> 00:12:05.520 Mormon. So boiled down, studying the Book of Mormon, keeping the 00:12:05.520 --> 00:12:10.800 commandments and exercising our faith increases our faith. And 00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:13.560 here's the promise that comes along with that part. He said, I 00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:16.380 promise that as you increase your capacity to receive 00:12:16.380 --> 00:12:20.540 revelation, the Lord will bless you with increased direction for 00:12:20.540 --> 00:12:25.700 your life and with boundless, boundless gifts of the Spirit, 00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:32.300 as you increase your capacity to receive revelation by reading 00:12:32.300 --> 00:12:36.680 your scriptures, all the simple things, simple things, by 00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:39.860 reading your scriptures, specifically the Book of Mormon, 00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:43.480 and exercising your faith, you then are become. You are 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.440 increasing your capacity to receive revelation. You are 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.580 consistently worthy of the gift of the Spirit, worthy of the 00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:55.720 Holy Ghost, and therefore you become blessed with increased 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.980 direction for your life and with boundless, boundless gifts of 00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:06.780 the Spirit. It seems like a little bit on our end, but a lot 00:13:06.780 --> 00:13:11.160 from God. And then this last piece of preparation, so number 00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:18.300 three, we did, creating places of security, preparing our mind 00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:21.920 to be faithful to God. And now we're going to talk about, never 00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:26.000 stop preparing. We've talked about this before. See if you 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.620 see the pattern, I'm going to oversimplify it. Never stop 00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:40.760 preparing. Could also mean daily repentance, which we've already 00:13:40.760 --> 00:13:43.960 attributed to becoming just a little bit better every day, 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.500 right? We never stop preparing. Here's what President Nelson 00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:50.620 said, he said, and this was a talk given to the sisters in one 00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:54.520 of the Relief Society sessions. He said, Dear sisters, you are 00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:57.820 adept at creating places of security for yourselves and 00:13:57.820 --> 00:14:02.880 those you love. You already are further you have a divine 00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:05.520 endowment that enables you to build faith in others in 00:14:05.520 --> 00:14:09.840 compelling ways, and you never stop. You have demonstrated 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:14.040 that, please keep going. Your vigilance in safeguarding your 00:14:14.040 --> 00:14:17.280 homes and instilling faith in the hearts of your loved ones 00:14:17.280 --> 00:14:21.260 will reap rewards for generations to come. I hope you 00:14:21.260 --> 00:14:26.240 caught that you are already doing it, my friends, you're 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.980 already doing it. You just have to keep doing it. Never stop 00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:36.680 preparing. So in my mind's eye, I see Captain Moroni picking the 00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:41.200 first thing, looking at the cities, looking at his people 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.800 and thinking, what is the first thing that I can do, that we can 00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:48.640 do together? What is the first thing that we can do to 00:14:48.640 --> 00:14:53.140 strengthen our defense, our defenses? What's the first thing 00:14:53.140 --> 00:14:58.120 that we can do? I know. Let's dig ditches. And with the dirt 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.380 that we take out of the ditches, let's build. These really tall 00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:08.160 mounds, these really tall walls of dirt. And so that's what they 00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:12.540 did. And then they got all done with that, and he's like, okay, 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:17.520 what can we do next? Let's put timbers on the top, pointed 00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:21.500 timbers on the top of these walls. So that's what they did. 00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:30.140 That's not that different from us. We pile our dirt and then we 00:15:30.140 --> 00:15:35.480 pick the next thing. Maybe your pile of dirt is, I want to say 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:40.060 my prayers more consistently. Maybe your pile of dirt is I 00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:44.560 want to read the Book of Mormon more. I want to read more of it 00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:49.780 every day. I just I want to start reading it every day. Pick 00:15:49.780 --> 00:15:53.980 your pile of dirt. It doesn't matter what it is, pick your 00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:58.900 pile of dirt. Work on that, and then pick the next pile of dirt, 00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:04.860 or the timbers, or whatever the thing is, I'm sure that there. 00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:08.400 I'm sure there were holes that would eventually come into the 00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:11.700 walls, and they would have to stop what they were doing 00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:16.320 somewhere else and repair the walls. It's the same thing. It's 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:21.020 the same thing for us. We just never stop preparing. One. 00:16:22.760 --> 00:16:25.520 Whatever the next thing is. That's the song from Frozen 00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:29.660 right just do the next right thing, pick the next right 00:16:29.660 --> 00:16:35.480 thing. But that also doesn't that also sound like daily 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:40.280 repentance, just being a little bit better every day. I think 00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:45.520 sometimes we we think that the that everything is separate and 00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:49.420 different. Okay, I have to find something to repent about, and 00:16:49.420 --> 00:16:53.920 now I have to read my book of Mormon, and now I have to attend 00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:57.040 this meeting, and now I have to do my tithing declaration, and 00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:00.240 now I have to renew my temple recommend. And now, like all of 00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:03.480 like all of these things are different and distinct, but 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.320 reading our scriptures, saying our prayers, studying our come 00:17:07.320 --> 00:17:13.800 follow me. They're all part of that daily repentance, that 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:21.440 daily striving to become better, just a little bit better than we 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.060 were yesterday. There's a lady that comes to pick up her kids 00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:29.420 from my kids school, and she has a t shirt that says, 1% better. 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:41.680 1% better become 1% better, just one just 1% and then, okay, so 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:47.200 check out. Oh, remember that a little bit better every day. 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.540 Doesn't mean that you're going to memorize the Book of Mormon 00:17:49.540 --> 00:17:53.440 by tomorrow. I don't think anybody has the Book of Mormon 00:17:53.440 --> 00:18:02.580 completely memorized. You're not going to be 100% tomorrow, but 00:18:02.580 --> 00:18:06.240 you can be 2% if you're 1% better today than you were 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.080 yesterday, tomorrow, you could potentially be 2% you could be 00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:16.680 1.1% it's okay. It's a little bit better, right? Excuse me, 00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:20.780 our heavenly Father loves our effort. And someday I'm going to 00:18:20.780 --> 00:18:23.420 find that quote. I always forget to go back and find that quote. 00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:28.820 But our Heavenly Father loves effort, and he will magnify our 00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:33.080 efforts. So if we try a little bit, he's going to make it look 00:18:33.080 --> 00:18:37.520 like we tried a lot. So for example, check out this quote, 00:18:37.820 --> 00:18:40.780 turbulent times. This is from the same talk. Turbulent times 00:18:40.780 --> 00:18:44.140 are opportunities for us to thrive spiritually, turbulent 00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:49.000 times are opportunities for us to thrive spiritually, they are 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.180 times when our influence can be much more penetrating than in 00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:58.300 calmer times, we can be the voice of reason, the voice of 00:18:58.300 --> 00:19:04.380 calm and peace. It's possible your efforts and your influence 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.020 can be more penetrating, but you have to try. Okay, one more 00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:13.740 quote from this talk we're just about to wrap up here. I am not 00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:16.740 so this is again, President Nelson. I'm not saying that the 00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:20.480 days ahead will be easy, but I promise you that the future will 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:24.020 be glorious for those who are prepared and who continue to 00:19:24.020 --> 00:19:29.540 prepare to be instruments in the Lord's hands. It will be 00:19:29.540 --> 00:19:34.160 glorious for those who are prepared or who and who are 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.660 continually preparing just be a little bit more prepared every 00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:43.660 day. And it's never too late to start. It doesn't matter how old 00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.200 you are, 00:19:45.520 --> 00:19:49.960 where you're at in your life. It is never too late to start. That 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:54.400 being said, though, and I don't say this very often, but in 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.760 fact, I don't think I've said this yet, there is a sense of 00:19:57.760 --> 00:20:01.860 her, a sense of urgency. Um, and that sense of urgency is 00:20:01.860 --> 00:20:07.860 becoming a little bit more apparent, as we every 00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:10.920 conference, like in the last few conferences, that sense of 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:15.780 urgency seems to be getting a little bit stronger. Um, I mean, 00:20:16.620 --> 00:20:19.920 excuse me, we are living in the last days. We've been told that 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:25.460 for decades, we are living in the last days. So there, if 00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:28.460 these are the last days, then there is some sense of urgency. 00:20:30.260 --> 00:20:37.400 But that doesn't mean that it's too late to start, because 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:42.220 again, our heavenly Father loves effort, and he will magnify your 00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:47.620 efforts. And if you are genuinely and really trying, he 00:20:47.620 --> 00:20:50.800 will magnify your efforts and help you get to a place where 00:20:50.800 --> 00:20:56.680 you can be prepared, where you are prepared, just start trying 00:20:56.860 --> 00:21:00.460 today. Tomorrow. You can wait till tomorrow. If you want to 00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:06.780 start trying as soon as you can, and that's it. Thank you so 00:21:06.780 --> 00:21:09.120 much, my friends, for being here. I really do appreciate 00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:12.840 your time. I say that all the time. I mean it every single 00:21:12.840 --> 00:21:16.620 time. I really appreciate you being here. Thank you for being 00:21:16.620 --> 00:21:20.600 willing to start. Thank you for being willing to be part of my 00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:29.900 journey, as I have gotten started. You are not alone. Just 00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:32.540 get started today, tomorrow. If you want to wait till tomorrow, 00:21:32.540 --> 00:21:36.260 fine. Wait till tomorrow. Just start trying. Thank you so much 00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:38.720 again for being here. Keep learning, keep growing, keep 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.580 trying and be of good cheer. Thanks everybody till next time 00:21:42.580 --> 00:21:42.700 bye.
