Conference thoughts-President Uchtdorf

In October 2004, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf first talk as an Apostle reminded us of President Hinkely's teaching that each has an individual responsibility.

President Gordon B. Hinckley said: “We are here to assist our Father in His work and His glory, ‘to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man’ (Moses 1:39). Your obligation is as serious in your sphere of responsibility as is my obligation in my sphere” (“This Is the Work of the Master,” Ensign, May 1995, 71). And the President asked us to reach out to others and bless the lives of those around us. He said: “Let there be cultivated an awareness in every member’s heart of his [and her] own potential for bringing others to a knowledge of the truth. … Let him pray with great earnestness about it” (“Find the Lambs, Feed the Sheep,” Liahona, July 1999, 120; Ensign, May 1999, 106).

As we continue to learn more about Church history and the Book of Mormon, especially the New York Cumorah, I hope we will see opportunities to bring others to a knowledge of the truth.
