"It is Growing and Growing"

These quotes were shared by a speaker at a recent "The Best of Especially For Youth, which youth from our congregation were privileged to attend, along with kids from 6 other stakes (probably at least 300 in attendance, with 2 other venues available as well). Excellent, gospel-oriented motivational speakers + copious amounts of pizza and cookies + a dance for youth ages 14-18 = some pretty pumped youth. :)

"The Church will never be as small as it is right now. We are not downsizing anything in the Church. It is growing and growing...."

"I have seen a lot of things in my experience. I have seen shock and concern and sometimes great disappointment come along, but I have never seen fear in the councils of the Church. We know who we are, and we know who He is.
