The gathering of Israel is a miracle.
It is like an enormous puzzle whose pieces
will be set in place prior to the glorious events
of the second coming.
Just as we might be perplexed with a mountain of puzzle
pieces, the early saints must have seen the commission
to take the restored gospel to all the world as a nearly
impossible task.
But they began one person, one puzzle piece
at a time finding the straight edges working to rightly frame
this divine work.
Little by little, the stone cut without hands
began to roll forth from hundreds to thousands
to tens of thousands and now millions of covenant latter day
saints across every nation are connecting
the puzzle pieces of this marvelous work and a wonder.
Each of us is a piece of the puzzle, and each of us
helps to set in place other essential pieces.
To our amazing youth and young adults across the world
I give a special invitation and challenge
to be witnesses of God.
Those who surround you are open to spiritual inquiry.
You do not come to the table with empty hands,
but with technology and social media at your command.
We need you.
The Lord needs you to be even more engaged
in this great cause.
Be open about your faith in Christ.
When the occasion presents itself
speak of His life, His teachings,
and His incomparable gift to all mankind.
Our view ahead is now clear.
We can see the miracle continuing
and the Lord's hand guiding us as we
complete the gaps that remain.
Then the great Jehovah shall say the work is done,
and He will return in majesty and glory.
