"And I will remember the covenant which I have made with my people; and I have covenanted with them that I would gather them together in mine own due time, that I would give unto them again the land of their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem, which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father."
- 3 Nephi 20:29

Seu discurso é excelente, eu gostei muito! Pensei nas vezes que fui ao Templo e com a sua paz que emana lá dentro pude conseguir superar muitos desafios e ter o Espírito em meu lar e em nossas vidas. Houve uma época nos meus estudos das escrituras que eu lia Pérola de Grande Valor, sempre, muitas vezes, Abraão e Moisés. E como eu podia sentir me tão próximo de Deus com as histórias deles e de Deus. Sinto obrigação de orar e agradecer ao Pai Celestial por tudo, as vezes acho que não vai acontecer nada, que tudo que eu tinha que fazer já aconteceu e agora eu só tenho que seguir a Jesus cumprindo os convênios, mas Deus não pensa assim e eu tenho que estar sempre preparada porque quando o gato vêm, como o Coelho da Alice, é muito preocupante e eu fico imaginando o que será e não sei o que fazer mas as coisas são reveladas mesmo que não pareça com revelação na minha mente e as vezes é bem mais simples, as vezes não, quando está muito agitado tudo, é preciso primeiro acalmar de dentro para fora, por isso o Templo é essencialmente importante.
