Legacy of Encouragement
President Henry B. Eyring
Second Counselor in
the First Presidency
“Legacy of Encouragement”
President Eyring shows how his mother and the prophet Mormon encouraged their posterity to qualify for eternal life through all the trials of mortality
“As my mother told me when I complained of how hard something was, Oh, Hal, of course it’s hard. It’s supposed to be. Life is a test.”
Encouraged by his mother’s example of following the Savior and talked about Mormon’s example and legacy of faith as written in Moroni 7.
Everyone needs a faithful friend or family member to provide encouragement at some point.
“When you sit with someone as their ministering sister or brother; you represent the Lord. Think of what He would do or say.” The Savior would invite them to come unto Him, encourage them, notice and praise their efforts, and “be the perfect example for them to emulate.”
Even with a good example in this life, the strongest example to follow is the Savior.
“The Savior knows your struggles in detail. He knows your great potential to grow in faith, hope and charity.”
