Aaronic Priesthood / Young Men

We have been thrilled to see the many youth activities during this past year celebrating Joseph Smith's birth and the organization of the Church. We pray that as a result of these celebrations our faith, our faithfulness in keeping our covenants, and our devotion to strengthening Aaronic Priesthood quorums are stronger than ever before. This is the majesty of the celebrations. We look back that we might be strengthened as we look and live forward! We must now press forward to continue to strengthen the quorums and to build the greatest generation of missionaries this world has ever seen. May our Heavenly Father bless each young man of the Aaronic Priesthood so that 2006 may be a year of continued growth of faith and preparation to receive temple ordinances and to serve the Lord as a full-time missionary.
