My dear friends and associates, during these months
of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the world
has grappled with unprecedented challenges,
I have marveled at the countless examples of faith, courage,
and Christlike love that I have seen.
Thank you for serving and loving one another
as the Savior would have us do.
We are grateful for the helpful direction
that government, health, and civic leaders
have provided to keep us safe.
And we will continue to be prayerful and proceed
with an abundance of caution.
Your safety and well-being will always be our utmost concern.
As we cautiously move forward to a more normal way of life,
Church leaders will continue to monitor information
and determine how soon we may again
gather in our meetinghouses and temples in various locations.
We know that ordinances of the holy temple
need to be performed.
They are of eternal significance.
We will clearly communicate step by step
when and where such gatherings and other Church-sponsored
activities may be resumed.
Readjustments in missionary service are currently underway.
Meanwhile, we rejoice in the peace that radiates
from the Lord Jesus Christ.
It will continue to fill us with hope and joy.
Our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son
love us, are aware of us, and will bless each of us.
I love you, dear brothers and sisters,
and assure you that wonderful days are ahead.
Our commitment to follow the Lord is everlasting!
