Momentous Prophetic Guidance from President Oaks

Dear Members of the Farmington West Stake:

President Dallin H. Oaks gave his first devotional talk as our current living prophet this week! I feel strongly that his counsel is important for all members of our stake at this time.

I invite each of us to study this message as soon as possible. Please watch it or read it for yourself. I encourage you not to seek an online recap or even someone else’s summary. Although this talk was given to a YSA audience originating from BYU campus, I promise that you will find it very edifying and very applicable to your personal life. If you have already watched it, I invite you to now read it or to view it again!

In our modern lives of easily accessible information and artificial intelligence, you have likely heard about this talk or perhaps have read something about it. I caution you not to rely upon a third-party synopsis of President Oaks’ words. Any other commentary does not do his counsel justice. It is vital that you have a personal experience with this message. The Holy Ghost will speak to you individually as to how the Prophet’s counsel applies to you, to your family, and to your service.

I testify that President Oaks has been guided by the Lord to give this very momentous and timely guidance!

Thank you!
