Although we will all experience times of trial and difficulty, there are laws which, if obeyed, will enable us to also experience great happiness. Elder Hales teaches: “When we live those laws, we are practicing the same laws that are practiced in heaven. We are practicing how to live with the Father and the Son and with our families in the eternities to come. That to me is the message to the world of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
