Sheri Dew - Will You Engage in the Wrestle?

It is a privilege to be here-especially with President and Sister Gilbert. They are dear friends and remarkable exemplars.    

Now, we are not here today to listen to me speak. We are here to receive revelation. I invite you to invite the Holy Ghost to speak to you so that you hear what you need to hear.               

A couple of years ago a reporter from an international broadcasting network visited Salt Lake City researching a story on women in the Church. She was intrigued that a female was leading a Church-owned media company and asked me for an interview.            

A Call To Be A Missionary Minded Family

In the last two years, I have come to understand as never before how close the Savior is to His work and to His servants who are called by Him to lead and to preside. I am also learning how much our Father in Heaven loves each of His children. He is our Father. We are His work and His glory. His greatest hope is for each of us to come home and to live forever with Him as families. I know these things to be true.

With this understanding, it’s clear that our Father and Savior are inviting us to assist them in inviting others to receive the blessings of the gospel. The need is more urgent because time is running out. The Lord has spoken through His servants the prophets to tell us that He is hastening His work, and to invite us to participate.
