A Return to Virtue
Elaine S. Dalton October 2008 Sunday Morning Session
Last general conference I was called by President Monson to be the new Young Women general president. As I stood in the presence of a prophet of God and was given this sacred trust, I pledged that I would serve with all my heart, might, mind, and strength. Prior to this calling, I had a small plate inscribed with a motto that read, “I can do hard things.” That little plate bearing that simple motto gave me courage. But now if I could change that motto, it would read, “In the strength of the Lord, I can do all things.” It is on that strength that I rely today as I stand at this sacred pulpit.
