In general conference last October, President Boyd K. Packer said, “We live in perilous times; nevertheless, we can find hope and peace for ourselves and for our families. Those living in sorrow, despairing at the possibility of children being rescued from where the world has taken them, must never give up. Be not afraid, only believe. Righteousness is more powerful than wickedness.” Sunday night I worked with the Witness Music Orchestra to prepare for a performance of Rob Gardner’s Lamb of God later this month. We met with the vocal soloists for the first time, and among them was the man who will sing the part of the Apostle Peter, “Then trust in God through all the days; fear not, for He doth hold thy hand. Though dark thy way, still sing and praise. Sometime, sometime we’ll understand.”
