"Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has taught: 'There really is light at the end of the tunnel. It is the Light of the World, the Bright an Morning Star, the 'light that is endless, that can never be darkened.' [Mosiah 6:19] It is the very son of God Himself."
Thankfully we can seek for the comfort of the spirit when we
go through intense trials and suffering.
I mentioned last week that I had a few more pictures from Halloween weekend, so here they are. Our family had a good time dressing their kids up, and the kids had a ball, too. Though I'm not sure if Scooby Ruby Doo liked her costume much.

Here is another quote from conference that I really loved from Elder Lynn G. Robbins:
“And it came to pass that he did teach and minister unto the children of the multitude … , and he did loose their tongues, and they did speak unto their fathers great and marvelous things. …
“… And they both saw and heard these children; yea, even babes did open their mouths and utter marvelous things” (3 Nephi 26:14, 16).
Perhaps more than opening the mouths of babes, the Lord was opening the eyes and ears of their astonished parents. Those parents had been granted the extraordinary gift of a glimpse into eternity and of beholding the true identity and premortal stature of their children. Would that not forever change the way the parents saw and treated their children?
Remember this as you love and nurture your children. They are truly remarkable spirits--sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, entrusted to you for their care.
I love all of you very much.
