During a BYU devotional, Elder Ronald A. Rasband emphasized five aspects of the Restoration, each "a reason to shout, 'Hurrah for Israel.'"

From a 2020 Ensign article...
"Laman and Lemuel, and others who murmured and rebelled, often defaulted to protection mode, lashing out, hurling accusations, and damaging family relationships in the process.
"Nephi, however, understood that there are blessings, comfort, and power given to us by the Lord. Nephi wrote that “the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith,” and that the Lord is able “to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance” (1 Nephi 1:20)."

Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity.

Have you ever had an experience with a long prayer to Heavenly Father in which you exhausted all the things that were in your heart that you could possibly express in words?
I had such a prayer last night, and I dropped into bed feeling satisfied I had been heard.
I believe in prayer. 🙏🏼 Cleansing, humbling prayer. 🙏🏼
At my bedside.

"For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead" (1 Peter 4:6).
Preached. To the dead.
If death ends your chance, why would Christ send the gospel to people who already died?

"The great principle of happiness consists in having a body" -Joseph Smith Jr.
All the philosophers from time immemorial have pondered and puzzled on the meaning of life and Joseph Smith hit the nail on the head because Jesus taught him Personally.

Are we drawing people TO Jesus Christ or are we repelling them?
We have clearly been asked to gather— not drive people away.
Our job is to bring them to the Savior. He can figure out the “sorting” later! (With His PERFECT understanding.)
For the past decade He has been begging us to gather as many people as we can to His safety and protection.
In the words of President Nelson:
“You were sent to earth at this precise time, the most CRUCIAL time in the history of the world, to help gather Israel. There is nothing happening on this earth right now that is more important than that. There is nothing of greater consequence.
Absolutely nothing!
This gathering should mean everything to you. This is the mission for which you were sent to earth.” (Hope of Israel; 2018)
ANYTHING that pulls us away from this mission is playing into the hands of the adversary.
We must never forget WHO we are and WHY we are here!
