In This Issue "Great Shall Be The Peace of Thy Children" (Isaiah 54:13) Elder Jeffrey R. Holland on Terror, Triumph, and a Wedding Feast ___________________________________________________________
Welcome to another issue of the Latter-day Light Newsletter.
Over
the last few weeks we have been studying the War chapters of Alma in
the Book of Mormon. I have learned so much as I have studied the words
of this inspired book as it relates to our day---a day of war and
preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth once again. As
the world moves towards destruction around us, we, as Latter-day
Saints, should be moving towards becoming a Zion people. We need
strong testimonies of the gospel and the courage that comes only from

we live in are included in this newsletter.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke in September 2004 on the time we live in to the students at Brigham Young University. I think you will find his words inspiring and encouraging.

And yet we have known difficult times would be part of our life, and we have been warned, through the scriptures and living prophets, that this wo
As a small child being raised in the 1960's, I have some distinct memories of that time and place in history. There was the cold war, with its walls and curtains, and the Vietnam War, with its protests and images. The rebellion and lack of respect for authority expressing itself in the music, drugs, and riots. There was the civil rights, women's rights, worker's rights, sexual revolution, political revolution, and communist revolution around the world. All the earth seemed in turmoil during those times, especially to a young child.
