What do you think of when you hear the word "arise"?
Personally, I think of you, the noble youth of the Church.
I picture you diligently arising from your beds each
morning for early-morning seminary.
I see you faithfully arising from your knees after
finishing your daily prayers.
I think of you courageously arising to share your
testimony and defend your standards.
I am inspired by your commitment to the gospel and
your good examples.
Many of you have already accepted this invitation to
arise and shine forth, and your light encourages others
to do the same.
