“It should be “with great earnestness” (D&C 123:14) that we bring the light of the gospel to those who are searching for answers the plan of salvation has to offer. Many are concerned for their families. Some are looking for security in a world of changing values.

The Lord’s gospel is on earth and will bless their lives here and in the eternities to come”
