Prophets and apostles show us how to serve.

Primary Talks

President Thomas S. Monson repeats what the Savior said — that in order to find purpose in life, lose yourself in the service of others. “Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish — and in effect save their lives,” he says.

We are led by a living prophet today.

Primary Talks

Eleven-year-old Rebecca stared out the bus window but didn’t really see the houses passing by. The after-school bus commotion raged around her but didn’t interrupt her troubled thoughts.

If God himself told His prophet something that the whole world needed to hear, but that prophet lived long ago or far away, how could we get the message?
