"13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."
In preparation for this talk I spent somewhere around 4 hours on Saturday reading, researching, pondering, and writing about this article of faith. It was a really wonderful experience because I really got to study it in depth and apply it to experiences in my own life. I have never gone on a mission, but I can't imagine how amazing it must be because just simply in attempting to teach other people about a certain topic and share my testimony with them, I have learned and grown so much! I love having the opportunity to speak in church because it really gives me the motivating opportunity to really dive into the scriptures. I really need to study like this a whole lot more because I think it would be such a beneficial experience.
In my talk, I spoke on the part that says "we hope all things, we have endured many things, and we hope to be able to endure all things". I spoke on hope and how Jesus Christ is our true source of hope and that hope is never lost. I also spoke about how trials are an essential part of our lives and that Heavenly Father has hand picked each one of them for our specific benefit. And in the end I talked about how enduring all things to the end means constantly coming unto christ and becoming perfected in him.
