Paul Redmond
 spoke how trials and adversities helped to strengthen and grow his testimony 
2 Nephi 2:11 
"For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things"



Ben Driggs 
spoke on enduring to the end 
“enduring to the end is a path to joy” 
Ben referenced a wonderful talk about becoming a Disciple of Christ 

Mitch Doty 
shared an experience as a young scout and how it helped him to gain a testimony of enduring to the end 

Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place, and praise
Will always come to the one who stays.
Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life’s victories, after awhile.
Shane Hatch 
Spoke on Enduring to the end 

 Let us all press on in the work of the Lord,
That when life is o’er we may gain a reward;
In the fight for right let us wield a sword,
The mighty sword of truth.
 We will not retreat, though our numbers may be few
When compared with the opposite host in view;
But an unseen pow’r will aid me and you
In the glorious cause of truth.

If we do what’s right we have no need to fear,
For the Lord, our helper, will ever be near;
In the days of trial his Saints he will cheer,
And prosper the cause of truth.

Fear not, though the enemy deride;
Courage, for the Lord is on our side.
We will heed not what the wicked may say,
But the Lord alone we will obey.

Remember to seek for joy on your earthly journey 
while striving to achieve your eternal destination
