Pres. Jeffrey R. Holland spoke of a critical aspect of preparedness in his April 2024 address when he said
“…I bear solemn witness of the reality of eternal life and the need for us to be serious in our planning for it….”
Then he told us where we can get help to be more prepared.
“Fortunately, we have help for this task—lots of help. We need to believe in angels and miracles and the promises of the holy priesthood. We need to believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost, the influence of good families and friends, and the power of the pure love of Christ. We need to believe in revelation and prophets, seers, and revelators and President Russell M. Nelson. We need to believe that with prayer and pleading and personal righteousness, we really can ascend to “Mount Zion, … the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.”
