Our Search

Elder M. Russell Ballard 
Our Search For Happiness 



“To those who say that all revelation ended with the death of Christ's original apostles and that we already have all of the instruction from God we will ever need, Joseph Smith's story stands as solemn testimony that God hasn't shut the door on His children. He loves us today just as much as He loved those who lived anciently, and He is just as concerned about us as He was about them.”



Answers to Life's Questions

“We must be ever cautious about the choices of programs and the impact of media in our lives...The computer, television, satellite, microchip, and even the telephone, all can bless and enhance our lives—or can make them miserable.”



Daughters of God

“...the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction.”

“...pray, study, and teach the gospel. Pray deeply about your children and about your role as a mother. Parents can offer a unique and wonderful kind of prayer because they are praying to the Eternal Parent of us all. There is great power in a prayer that essentially says, “We are steward-parents over Thy children, Father; please help us to raise them as Thou wouldst want them raised.”
