For those of you who were unable to attend the seminary centennial yesterday click on the link to the left to check it out. It is amazing to see how seminary has changed the lives of Latter-day Saint youth all over the world for over a century now. You are a part of a great tradition, and a program that has been instituted by our Heavenly Father for you, to help you specifically navigate the challenges of your lives.
This is an inspired program, one which I know to be true. As you go about inviting your friends to seminary this week, keep the things that are said in this fireside in mind to help you find the motivation, strength, and power to invite your friends with a clear and powerful testimony. Remember, you have the power to change your friend's lives! And finally, always keep in mind that success is in the invitation, your friends have their agency and their own right to make choices for themselves. Because of this some of them will say no. Don't ever let that discourage you, we show our love for them by giving them the opportunity to make a good choice!
You guys are awesome, happy reading, and go conquer your exams like Gideon did the Midianites!
